June 17, 20196 yr The Laminar devs have changed how they do the automated opt-in user data collection. Instead of manually sorting through and posting it once a year, it's now automated and updated daily. Here's the link, some interesting info here: http://dashboard.x-plane.com/ Edited June 17, 20196 yr by Paraffin X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10 i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1660 ti, 1920x1200 monitor

June 18, 20196 yr Nice to know LPPT is in the rank of the Top Departures 🙂 even if down in the list ... 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)
June 18, 20196 yr Author I noticed there isn't quite as much info in this new format as they had in the yearly reports, where you could download the raw data. They used to show flight controller, where something like 25% of users were flying XP with only a mouse and keyboard. I was curious to see if that changed, but it's not listed here.

June 18, 20196 yr Pretty interesting data. I would like to see the mouse+keyboard usage, since i remember from the old surveys that it was quite relevant. Edited June 18, 20196 yr by france89 Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
June 19, 20196 yr Moderator I'd also be very interested to see what regions people fly in the most and a list of top addon airports. The default list of airports is interesting although I'd probably put KSEA further down (it's the default airport in the demo, so it's going to have inflated numbers). I was amazed to see EPWA Warsaw as quite popular, this surprised me The number of VR users is pretty low considering all the effort LR are putting into it, almost as small as the group who use Linux

The person working on VR support at Laminar isn't necessarily someone who could quickly change hats and work on things that are getting more user requests like ATC, or a better weather engine. Besides, even though I don't use VR myself (I'm waiting for resolution improvements), I like that Laminar is investing in the future. We don't know how popular VR will eventually be, but "immersion" has always been the goal of flight sims. It's why people build simpits with mulltiple monitors, and VR is one heck of a way to boost immersion at less cost than many of those multi-monitor rigs. So I think it's great that at least some resources are going into it, even if I'm not ready to take advantage of it myself.

June 20, 20196 yr It surprised me that so few actually use VR headsets. In the different forums I read there is a lot about VR, and many rerquests for better VR integration. Personally I will never use it, do not like to be shut off from the real world. When I play my flightsims, I also take a look on the real world outside my windows. It is interesting to see the use statistics. Greetings Kurt MSFS, X-Plane 12 AMD Ryzen 9 3900x, 32Gb ram, RX 5700 XT 8Gb ram, 1TB SSD

Take into account this information is xp11 lifetime, VR was not even available. It doesn't tell how much users base % use VR lets say by the last 6 months or so. The information presented as is doesn't tell latest trends Manuel Merelles

And the VR chart is titled, Users Who Have Flown in VR in 2019

Actually i wasnt surprised at all, but I agree, I dont like being shut out from the real world, which is why you wont find me with earphones plugged in my ears 24/7, if at all.
