Dovetail - Anyone biting?

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

Chris

Flight School looks terrible and the full version is a better FSX SE.

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.

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.
