June 23, 20169 yr I am not particularly impressed with Flight School (although this is based purely on screenshots and videos), but I think we should just wait and see what Dovetail can do over the next few months. I am not exactly optimistic that it will be anything so ground breakingly revolutionary that it will persuade me to switch from P3D, but you never know :smile: I actually enjoyed listening to Stephen Hood's seminar at FlightSimCon 2016 (the YouTube video). It may not have been packed with new information, but it was interesting all the same.

June 23, 20169 yr And we going to get ramps in FS2004! (see Garry's post in the 2004 forum!) Not too bad for a 10 year old sim! Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
June 23, 20169 yr I'd given up on the DTG forum debate a few months back only to revisit the same ongoing threads today and find that people are still saying the same thing we were saying at the beginning of the year :smile:. Funny I'm deferring my expectations on DTG for another three years. By then developers should have caught up and we'll all have enough to play with. That's if LM haven't made P3D 64 bit as well. I've never been happier with any version of sim during my 20 years of flying them as I am with P3D
June 24, 20169 yr I am also not impressed with Flight School, but will wait to see what they can do. Wish they would have used the Microsoft Flight engine instead. I have more hopes for Aerofly than DTG simulator.

Been through this many times with previous versions, and I have been at this for almost 30 years. Not even going to be thinking about anything but P3D for a long, long time.

Been through this many times with previous versions, and I have been at this for almost 30 years. Not even going to be thinking about anything but P3D for a long, long time. FSX took about 3/4 years to become mainstream. It was one of the most highly anticipated releases in 2006. Disappointingly it was horrible, plagued with bugs, poorly optimised, and new development techniques which needed to be learned by most to produce 3rd party content. Most stuck with FS9 - as did I. In 2009 I thought was enough 3rd party stuff to make a conversion to FSX - and when I did, I didn't look back. Like you, I intend to remain with P3D for the medium/long haul - for now. But who knows.... We are a fickle bunch. If the history of these boards has taught us anythin, it's that fact. We dig our heels in today. Tomorrow, we roll over.
