Don't look back, look forward 😉

Unless you are the rear gunner on something, in which case, looking back is probably a good idea. 🤣

Without exception to the rule. Truth to be told 😉

Erm... You guys who deleted P3D are aware that the new sim doesn't have these in it, aren't you?

Exactly Alan ! I will move to 2020 after A2A will convert at least one of their birds.

Deleted P3D4 and all addons from my PC.

Congratulations, you must be very proud.

I look forward to many more posts both here and in the P3D forums about your various software installations and uninstallations.

Although...perhaps you should just blog it?

I reallly, really never understand these affirmations. So you deleted P3D? Big deal, I don't know why anyone would care.

If you truly don't care, then why bother responding to offer your input. I'm sure the OP doesn't care about what you think either.

Anyways I'm on the verge of doing the same. I've already let go of X-Plane, and hopefully soon to delete P3D as well. Both have served me well, but like some, I'm totally ready for the next gen flight sim. I prefer a clean system with only one sim I can dedicate 100% attention to. Just like Apple ditched the floppy drive, ditched the cd/dvd drives, ditched the headphone jack, etc. It's time to move on and let go of the past and embrace the future. And what better way to do that then start from a clean, fresh slate!

My P3d is gone, but only because my Windows install destroyed itself and I haven't re-installed yet. I most likely will, even after MSFS comes out. Just haven't had the time or inclination.

I remember when FS5 came out, the new graphics were *awesome* (for the day). A major upgrade from the wireframe uglyfest that was FS4. Might even have been as big of a leap as MSFS is from P3d/FSX. I spent a lot of time in it the first two weeks, but then went back to FS4 for a lot of my simming, because all my stuff was there and FS5 didn't have anything available for it yet.

I fully expect I'll be doing that here, too. After all, PMDG is developing for MSFS, but it's not done yet and I am going to want to fly something complex at least every once in awhile.

 

 

I personally thought that the horrible shimmering sea of textured garbage that I was looking at in FS5 was a step backwards from FS4. I would have preferred them to keep those coloured vector graphics, but include a 3D mesh and more objects. At least my eyesight would have been saved....

I’m entitled to my opinion, simple as that. I don't expect anyone to care what I think and it doesn’t bother me.

However, don’t try to silence differing opinions that you don’t like.

There’s too much of that in the world as it is at the moment.

Wrong. I don’t care what anyone thinks.

My post was my opinion, like it or not.

Then decided they'd stuffed up and started charging a fortune for 'approved' external drives, then they decided to get rid of the jack socket so you'd have to spend even more money on an approved device, and not really for any advantageous reason, but because their jack phone sockets were rubbish and prone to failure. Not unlike when they decided their 'innovative' single button mouse would be better with two buttons, you know, like PCs had been using for the preceding 20 years.

I listened to some new music on Spotify today, but for some reason that didn't make me feel a need to run down and throw my CD collection into the trash bin...

 

Especially since today's songs are zeros and ones.

I often wonder if some of the simmers who come here and post ever really achieved a fully loaded P3D v4 or XP 11.

Yes, and unfortunately they indulge in a lot of disgraceful human rights abuse practices en-route too, including forcing children to work in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in sweatshop factories in China, in order to produce the latest shiny toys.
