Dovetail - Anyone biting?

Just got an email stating that if you buy now, you will get the DA42. Someone said it is 64bit, but looking at videos is not always the best way to truly see the product.

  • Dave, don't blame DTG, as they don't have moderator powers here. Blame me and my low tolerance for what amounts to nothing more than trolling posts. Your "videos" never showed up in any case, so they

    Downloaded. Running. Non responsive controls and switches in free flight for some reason. So went to flying school. Wow its ultra smooth. Even peaked at 165 FPS hahaha.  AA is lacking as is some shimm

I bought it. Curious to see how it feels/actually looks like.

Me too.

Flying gliders since 1980

Flightsimming since 1992

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

I pre-ordered it, will run along side my FSX-SE (PMDG stuff only), P3D and Xplane

I'll wait until the full version comes out and read reviews on it. Not really interested in the school version, I already know how to fly. Right now I am really happy with P3D.

Geez, I have not really follow this much since they mentioned steam, but I just noticed that there are 2 products LOL 

The school and the flightsim. Wow, I should stop my skip reading. 

 

So, knowing there are 2, when will the Flight Simulator be released? I found a thread where Martin seemed to answer every question thrown at him and is very will

liked and respected here in the community. It sounds like the Simulator is going to be a long term commitment.

 

So all of you that have said yes your getting the school version, but what about the sim itself?

 

What is the most exciting thing you see in either of these 2 versions?

I think they are talking about the end of 2016 for the full version. I have watched a couple of videos on Youtube of the school version, and frankly was not impressed. 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as i am concerned, it depends on third-party support.

 

I am not expecting it to have any 'credible' addons by default, same applies to weather.

FTX Global not 'credible' enough for you

Someone said it is 64bit

 64bit does not make a simulator better or nicer looking...

 

Unless there is not a new "world-shaking" simulator, I stay with P3D. Too much invested to make a transition to a new platform.

 

Also the Dovetail sim is based (at the end) on MS FSX technology.

Been a Dovetail games customer for a couple of years. Most of their stuff works around 85%, and the bugs it comes with usually are there for keeps. 

 

 

 

There is a dedicated forum for Dovetail's flight school and sim with extensive threads covering all kinds of topics. Might want to check there for infos instead of posting in the P3D forum.

Can you fly FTX global?

 

But i understand, i didn't specify. I meant aircraft.

good catch.  yeah, this thread really doesn't belong here...almost seems like someone is trying to drive a wedge through the P3D supporters.
