Looks really good, hard decision for me - buy for P3D or wait for MSFS version...

I'm going back to P3d these days so will definitely buy this, sure 2020 is great for some sightseeing etc but the romance has warn off now. As a sim 2020 is just far too console like for me especially the handling. 

Give it 12 months and I will probably or hopefully change my mind !

Release date for this?

I would love to see some more updated FlyTampa US sceneries.  Are they just going to shock the sim world with atlanta, or is it dead?

I am almost embarrassed to say that I don't own any fly Tampa scenery.
A good Sydney would complement my current Orbx offerings.
What sort of performance do other FT big airport sceneries have? Better or worse than Orbx offerings?

You should be! 🙂

Performance is generally very good. However, it depends on your PC and which scenery it is.
For me, Boston, Copenhagen, Dubai, Hong Kong and Montreal play extremely well - can maintain at 30 FPS locked and in the mid-30s FPS when unlocked (with AI traffic and weather).

Las Vegas and Sydney have some performance impact (lose 5-7 FPS), but both run at about 27 - 28 FPS.
For comparison, Orbx Melbourne runs at a similar level.

Toronto is the worst FT performing for me (low 20s FPS), though I believe it's just down to being one of the dog performing locations (like default London) in P3D.
Orbx Brisbane performs similarly poorly for me.

I have great performance with YBBN and ymml in v5 with the exception of dialling down the settings in the config.

30fps all the way!!! 
I have powerful system thou.

I think the same way. I have made a decision to fly the NGX and any heavies in P3d and then fly GA in MS2020.

I am i the same boat. I'm going to continue flying the heavies in P3D although right now I am on an around-the-world tour using the Aerosoft Bus in v5. Sydney is one of my planned destinations so I am hoping they will release it soon, whatever "soon" is.

 

@Howard, a quick question on your Crosswind rudder pedals.

Did they get configured and set up correctly in MSFS?

I havent jumped on the new sim bandwagon just yet, but would be curious to know if there were any setup issues you encountered? Am looking to purchase some new pedals that would work in both P3D and MSFS.

 

Thanks.

 

I'm quite sure to buy it for P3Dv5. As long as MSFS has no premier league passenger jets, I won't buy larger airports anyway.

No problems at all Mark. They configure just great. Only issue I had, and still have, is the clumsy and unintutive GUI for configuring hardware and cameras!
