May 11, 20179 yr Another thing I am wondering is if FSW will support virtual flying networks such as VATSIM or IVAO ? If they don't there will be a lot of people sticking with Perpar3d, FSX and X-plane.
May 11, 20179 yr DTG has a interesting road ahead...3 other competitors and a demanding (sometimes unrealistic) audience. X plane and Flight Sim World will be in my future...and I say future. I really don't expect too much from either dev right now, both releasing new content that will take at least a year to iron out all of the bugs. So, I am looking to purchase both sims around mid to the end of "next" year. I simply refuse to waste my time with the bugs/conflicts that always occur with new releases (in this arena), and would rather wait for things to settle down and see what new hardware appears in the next 12-18 months to get a smoother flying experience. For now...its XP10 for me, it is stable and I have learned to appreciate what it is, and accept what it isn't. If pop up scenery and flat houses still plague FS World, then perhaps I will skip it...or just accept that nothing much can really be done with the old fsx engine, and get it solely for the missions. Either way, I think that DTG and LR will lead the pack in the future. Looking forward to learning more about what DTG brings to the table.

May 11, 20179 yr LM don`t have to step up they have no competition in there market. Ray Fry. Raymond Fry.

They have plenty of competition in that realm, including XP, which has a professional license. There are several battlespace simulators that are moving to whole world models as well. BI just introduced one.
May 11, 20179 yr a billion dollar industry makes product for its customer base they could give it away if they were so inclined. there marketing budget may well exceed the total worth of DTG. Ray Fry. Raymond Fry.

May 12, 20179 yr Guys, what you or they call it doesn't matter. It's a simulator if it faithfully simulates. They're all games. But it's only a game (like War Thunder or World of Planes) if it doesn't simulate faithfully. I think we can see that FSX/P3D/X-Plane and now FSW are simulators. Aerofly FS 2 I'm less sure about because of the lack of system depth (although I do enjoy flying around in it and think its flight model is a serious improvement over earlier versions, and in some ways is as good as anything out there).
