Looking more and more like P3D

Recommended Posts

One of the reasons I bought P3D, was because of the shadow effects I couldn't get in FSX, except by using SteveFX which as we all know transformed the cockpit shadows. But I was still craving for more, like ground shadows. However, there are FSX sceneries I have in FSX, that I still can't get for P3D, much less XP11. I'm so glad I didn't ditch FSX completely, because now I'm being drawn to restart my FSX engines with this amazing cloud shadow addon. Thanks Steve!

FSX works fine for me, considering how old it is. I just can't see shelling out more money (a lot more money) for something that might be slightly better. And, I am already tired of tinkering with FSX for the past 10 years, why start tinkering with something new and re-learning all its idiosyncrasies. Thanks to people like Steve and too many more to mention FSX is just fine. It would take a 64 bit, out of the box sim and no tinkering to get it to work for me to even consider switching.

I'll tell you one thing FSX is better at than P3D...water.

For some people, tinkering and tweaking has become a hobby in its self. Some do more of it than flying, just trying to reach the Goldilocks zone.:laugh:

Guilty as charged (though not really for the Goldilocks zone, but rather for the well-oiled engine)
