I just have one thing to say

[RichieFly 714]

I have plenty of HD space. So, no reason to uninstall P3D for me. However, I did uninstall the Orbx modules since there's no longer a point to attempting to make P3D a VFR friendly simulator.

When I feel the need to indulge in procedures and high level simulation my PMDG, FSL and Majestic aircraft are there resting in my hanger.

A year from now, or whenever it happens, when these aircraft are available for MSFS, it will them be time for a fond farewell to P3D.

TrueSky in P3Dv5 is absolutely untouchable for anyone looking for a true IFR experience. 

You uninstalled it? Good for you. Nobody cares. 

Yet you reply with a comment about your clouds, and a number of people replied and agreed. So people do care. Good flying mate

Obviously, you do.

I’m the same p3d off and all the add ins that went with it. Lufthansa paint on the a320, yeah it’s got it’s quirks but once you learn to fly with them it’s enjoyable, plus the smaller aircraft are a pleasure to fly and take in the scenery.

 

The Canary Islands have never looked so good, doing circuits of GCFV GCLP and GCTS with live weather and traffic, it looks simply stunning. 
 

plus it’s day 3 straight out the box well the cloud, imagine what the future holds.

Fascinating statement, this need to remove the other sim(s).  Despite the obvious improvements in the new scenery engine which is nothing short of marvelous, P3D w/ all the trimmings, all of them, is still such a decent total experience I definitely will not be removing it any time soon.  It will be a while before the new sim matches the depth of P3D with all it's 3rd party content--and a lot of it is real high quality stuff.  Just did a lovely dawn flight out Orbx KJAC to KSLC and my goodness it was breathtaking--the layers of clouds and sky colors, lighting, etc.  FSCaptain.  GSXII.  And also, despite the photoreal fidelity of the new sim in some ways P3D looks more real, more depth of field.  I was flying in a 172S around dusk, around KSBP last night and the sky just looked fake and painted.  And terrestrial lighting was just kind of too bold and blurry.  Major road edges were very blurry in spots.  Hopefully these niggles can be tweaked and fine tuned over time.  But in other flying in the new sim it's remarkable the fidelity to the actual landscape.   I just flew around Broomfield CO and it was pretty nice to recognize where I was.  Phenomenal change in visuals, in many ways in particular with high fidelity to the actual landscape and at a phenomanal performance level, just astounding.  I hope as I say they can sharpen some edges and dim the amount of glow/halo around night lighting it seems overcooked.

So who cares what you think?  The only purpose of this post is to be inflammatory and there's no place for that here.  So go away please.

I have uninstalled P3D

The thing I have to say might seem strange

I consider buying P3D V5 now after getting MSF. I will try to explain

I have just purchased a new videocard a 2070 Super. My experience was that FSXSE and P3D 2.5 (which I have) gave no noticeable improvement. XP11 gave clear improvement. And DCS and MSF gave huge improvement. I have many quality add on plane for P3D  like Majestic Q400 and A2A planes. These I can't fly in MSF. Flying these planes in version 2 makes no sense so I want V5 to take advantage of my new videocard. Also I got many ORBX scenery. I made a comparison flight in Cairns with MSF and P3D2 and my impression was that P3D+Orbx was better.

I for sure will also use MSF and its main advantage is that default scenery is so good and we have it in all the world. For example from ESGP close to where I live it is more accurate than XP11 with Ortho4XP. I could identify the house I live in. In FSXSE+UTX+GEX it is very inaccurate and in P3D default even worse.

3TB of Ortho scenery,, 6,243,234 addons from X-Plane store and an additional 4,254  dependencies the addons needed to work correctly so  the Ortho could be populated correctly.  And X-Plane..

Deleted..  I'm over making maintaining a sim a full time job...  While it has its teething issues and annoyances.. I can fly MSFS 2020 out of the box with only a fraction of the footprint and frustration with similar results.. 

 

NO LONGER HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE CONVOLUTED MESS THAT SCENERY_PACKS.INI IS...  PURE BLISS

I have to admit. This sim has a deep learning curve and there have been many frustrations getting thru the download and installation. 

I have always been about enjoying high quality payware aircraft from excellent flight modeling and new Garmin/Proline avionics !  Even though these are not yet available to purchase or fly,  just spending time in default aircraft while looking at this BEAUTIFUL WORLD (environment, land, water, weather, buildings,etc) is truly an AWESOME experience !

After taking a short "flight" around my home town and seeing commercial malls and stores that exactly duplicated the exterior I see on the ground, I have also removed P3D v 4 and v5.  I could never return no matter what. The clincher was flying over my local "WhataBurger" and seeing their big beautiful orange and white stripes covering the roof. ! 😁😍😂

Right? I flew over my house, my buddies, and my brothers. All there, and done completely by VFR using the roads and landmarks. Freaking amazing! 👍

Now Asobo just needs to do some fixes and tweaks to make this the only sim to buy.

Never said anyone did, but I'm also not starting "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!!!" threads.

It will be hard to go back to Xplane 11 after this, but I will still keep it for now. The main issue I always had with XP 11 was the trees, no-one could seem to make decent looking trees. I made my own and they looked pretty good, but not sure if I'll finish that or not.

XP 11 could look good with the proper ortho, after all it had ok autogen, but it cannot match the autogen in this of course, not even close. However, if flying 2000+ AGL, then I don't feel like a huge difference in the country between XP 11 graphics and this, if using Ortho4XP. You could actually do higher res in XP 11, so not sure.

Flying close to the ground, yah, MSFS texture overlays and detail texture is much better than XP11's at low altitudes, especially on landing and take-off (that's the biggest difference IMO).

Indeed. But you're sure as hell trying to turn this one into a look at you thread.

I haven't yet, but I will be uninstalling P3D soon.  My reasons are specific.  I've had a great time with P3D...it's been a wonderful product.  But I'm a minimalist by nature.  I don't want to have multiple sims, jumping through hoops, tweaking, maintaining accounts across a dozen portals...blah, blah, blah.

I've been an avid simmer for 30+ years now.  I was even a developer on the Fly! 2 team way back in the day.  I've been lurking on this forum since the 90's.

I'm very excited about the future with MSFS 2020.  I'm envisioning a ten year ongoing rapid development cycle...and it's day 3!  Wow!

It's in my nature to go all in on one thing, and that one thing is going to be MSFS 2020.  It's a generational leap ahead of everything else in almost every way that matters to me.  If that ever changes (and it might) then I'll revisit that decision.  But for now...that's it.
