Is there anything wrong moving from the not so bad old to the much better new ? It has been like ever since I've been addicted to this game. 

Sure if its done respectfully but there was nothing respectful about some P3D posters attack on users of other platforms

Its not a big deal I just find the turn of events amusing

I would agree with that comment.

Wow, great setup. I would never leave the house... LOL. How did you get the wife to agree to all that?

Do you have a video showing this setup in detail?

There's nothing disrespectful to the OP.  That's his choice, and I respect it.  However,  my POV is that I and others have no problems with our sim.   I look forward to progressing to the new one....yes there will be some initial problems, but the world sure looks pretty darn good in MS2020 and I'm looking forward to flying in it.  You can stay with MS 2004 for all I care.

I imagine everyone has experienced walking away from their Flight Simming for a few weeks or months, then come back to it again. I know i have. SOmetimes it is a new product that brings me back, sometimes just keen to try a particular fllight. Each time it requires a little tender tune up on my part. But I do still enjoy it as a hobby and am really looking forward to MS2020 from a flight characteristics angle and hope that it lives up to expectations.

This won't stop me buying the odd aircraft or scenery for P3Dv4 (for instance NZAA, when it comes out!)

I will dive into 2020 with a passion and glad I never spent a fortune on P3D. It just didn't do it for me nor did xplane so I waited with fsx se like thousands of others and boom microsoft drops the best news of the decade

Im in like Flynn

so happy for you!😂

I'm at work, slow morning so I have time to read. So much bad energy and frustrations here. The world will not end with MSF 2020 in sight, nothing will happen to fxs, xp11 or p3d. Guys, find yourself a preety girl and have fun. A lot of tension comes from the lack of sex life. 😁

Do to a malapropism, I always thought the phrase was "In Like Flint", the title of a James Coburn movie.

I'll have to have a word with my wife regarding the last two sentences! 

By the time I consider the latest flightsim, it will have been well established in the market

I'm happy for you. I'm also sad that you missed out on some great experience with P3d. That's why some of us have divergent thinking and enjoy multiple experiences that are made available to us.  Some of us even have several sims and enjoy variety.  

Spoken like a mature thinker!

Somewhat late to the party, but here’s my two cents. I myself went on a two year hiatus from simming a while ago because I was tired of struggling with low FPS and not being able to do the flights I wanted to do. This has everything to do with the fact that I was trying to run the sim on a laptop. About a year ago I decided to build a desktop with the purpose of flying airliners between major airports without breaking the bank on parts. In the meantime P3D4.2 had been released and things were looking up. I’ve been a happy flyer ever since. P3Dv4 overall required the least amount of tweaking and maintenance that I had ever had to deal with in a sim, provided you organize it right from the start. I can generally fly wherever I want with pretty high detail visuals.

all to say that ‘retiring’ is perhaps a tad dramatic of a word to use. If you really like simming, I dare say you will come back to it sometime. I think that’s generally normal.

so, rather than saying goodbye, I’ll say so long 😉

The origin AFAIK is in reference to Errol Flynn. But "In Like Flint" is also popular, as the James Coburn "Flint" character got more babes. 😉

P3Dv4 > Sex Life👍😂

2019 has been an absolutely boring year for Prepar3d. One patch and two hot fixes to clean up the word not allowed they broke (though I question how a patch can be "hot" if it's released 4 months later). It's no surprise that anyone would get bored and frustrated. V4 was released more than 2 years ago and since then we've only seen relatively minor improvements.
