June 14, 20205 yr V4.5 was a really good flightsim V5 is even better.

Or is that a general pop at all payware developers who will indeed be "getting their money from you again one way or the other" if you elect to buy a product from them for the first time?

June 14, 20205 yr Why do I get the feeling this is a MSFS troll post we are seeing more of this lately. Raymond Fry.

June 14, 20205 yr FSX stands for Microsoft Flight Simulator 10. MFS10 seems not to work, though for some reason MSFS2020 does. FSXX would. Edited June 14, 20205 yr by Reader
June 14, 20205 yr If you see SE tacked on the end then that stands for Superlative Edition.. 😜 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

Yes, it loads faster and has better performance on my 8 core ryzen than fsx, but it isn't compatible with much, regardless of claims of various developers. Kudos to ORBX and FSDT for making their products compatible and not tap dancing about needing to charge full price for a new license because it's a new platform. I will keep tweeking and tinkering, but I will put up with the lower frame rates of FSX. FSX? Seriously? Wow.

Or is that a general pop at all payware developers who will indeed be "getting their money from you again one way or the other" if you elect to buy a product from them for the first time? You need to go back and re read what I typed. The comment was in regards to a developer who has a larger library of constantly growing add ons. The “get your money from you one way or the other” comes from the fact that IF you owned all their FSX products, and got the free upgrade they will always be releasing new airports, regions etc past the point of the person upgrading. Thus they will have a constant influx of new purchases on new add ons. Thus they will get your money one way or the other...quality products and a massive library. counter that to a smaller developer that may have only one or two releases. If they had a product in fsx and spent the past 14 years upgrading it for free, it is costing them dearly in support and work updating it. Probably an unsustainable business model. Sure none of us want to pay upgrade fees...hell I’ve purchased Minecraft on my pc from the beta version....ps3, ps4, vita, cell phone, my daughter’s switch...most of those all run off the same base code now and no one bats a lash because they didn’t give us a free copy for a different platform Because we purchased prior or even a discount. Why is it in the flight sim community everyone is bitter when a new version comes out that they might have to pay for new versions of add ons?

June 14, 20205 yr It never ceases to amaze me.....this attitude of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" would still having us drive buggies pulled by horses. It should be..."if it ain't broke....BREAK IT!" That's actually the ONLY way that progress occurs. P3d is a work in progress. I'm sure we users will all be rewarded as more of it "breaks" and it progressively gets better and better. OR we can just go back to the "good ol' days". HA! Stan
June 14, 20205 yr Understood, but on the other hand, just because something is the latest fashion does not make everything that came before somehow no longer any good. I quite understand how someone could go from FSX to P3D v5 and be royally disappointed, not because it isn't better in many ways, but because it doesn't work as promised. Despite countless claims to the contrary, FSX is still an extremely good flight simulator, as indeed is FS 2004.
June 14, 20205 yr OP has six posts, and comes here and makes an obviously inflammatory statement, Troll. I shall feed no further, and I suggest you do the same.
