Why I bought FSW

Featured Replies

Knew FSW was early release and treat that way, and to see its potential expiloted here. When multi-player gathers steam unmoderated  ATC rooms to watch trolls act crazy haha.  Still, fly Xplane more and fsx As I got my add ons invested there, but chipping $25.00 in to help develop fsw is good as keep competing platforms on thier toes to innovate.

Have you set WideViewAspect=1 in the [Display] section of FSW.cfg?

Yes, tried that. Unfortunately it's a bit too far the other way...

LMAO, probably. Personally, I like the idea of there being some equivalent internet forum somewhere, where there's a load of people moaning or praising other LM products, with thread titles such as: 'Why we procured the F-35 Lightning II', where other people barge in on the thread with comments such as: 'Even though I know the Chengdu J-20 and the Sukhoi PAK FA T50 are still in early access or beta as far as fifth-generation warplanes with stealth features go, I'm going to use them as my main fighters when they go on sale.' :laugh:

"The LM F-35 at 199,000,000 $ is too expensive to buy and maintain, even if it's supported by the largest weapons add-on maker, so I'm switching to Chengdu J-20 at only 25,000,000 $ while it's still in early access."

Your correct, don't buy any new sim so we can stop this forward movement in it's tracks and stick with good old FSX9  :biggrin:

What 25 dollar ? When I find this on steam the price listed is 25 Euro

Depends on where you live, I would expect..

Yup! And for that 25€ you also have Accu-Feel, ORBX Global and for the first time ever, rain on windshield (some points that get forgotten most of the time).

LM does a great job and those guys are sooo clever! By clever I mean they are clever enough to pack bits and bits of features but newer the whole thing. In this form we always have the need to buy the next version. Remenber the cloud shadows in V3, now it's 64bits with rain and snow but no rain on windshield...I bet you all that V5 will get the nice drops :).

I think the best way for all of us (and the devs) will be that LM and DTG become best friends and work on 1 sim to dominate them all!

Sigh...again with the rain drops...

So what? Maybe your immersion is ruined if the font on the PFD of your airliner is not the correct one; maybe someone's else immersion is ruined if the raindrops on the aircraft windshield do not look realistic at all.

Everyone has different priorities on what they look for in a flight simulator. It's been explained to you multiple times, but you seem not able to grasp that. Stop with your contemptuous attitude on everything related to FSW.
