October 5, 20205 yr Back to the OP's question, For me its... stability, a wide range of add-ons available (detailed scenery, study level aircraft and flight planning utilities) plus the improved performance in v5 vs v4.5 has kept me flying in the P3D environment.

October 5, 20205 yr I use both but find myself playing with msfs abit more. P3DV5 Stability and have lots off add-ons MSFS Lots of fun and eyecandy. love the weather. needs to mature abit. CPU: Intel i9-11900K @5.2 / RAM: 64GB DDR4 3200 / GPU: 4080 16GB /
October 5, 20205 yr I stay on P3D V5 because i´am running an A320 homecockpit with Airbus specific systems which are not compatible with MSFS right now. I have even not tested MSFS yet, because i can wait until it´s out of it´s diapers. But more important for me is that MSFS can proof it´s able to handle Airliners and provide all that Eyecandy without a performance drop, especially with a wide view via 3 beamers each full HD at least. My hope is, that meanwhile LM will make a big step forward with the EA (True Sky) and i wish that they are in touch with the HiFi team to develope an enhanced athmospheric model and weather system. The actual approach by MSFS is very very promising for the future, because of the 3D-photogrammetry scenery, the athmospheric appearence in case of light´s and shading, and the much advanced weather system.

MSFS does not have a fisheye fix for NVSURROUND nor you can have multiple seperate views... And no enhanced SDK. Nothing there for cockpitbuilders (yet) 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
October 5, 20205 yr From the OP "It's using a program called WidePSX previously used for projecting Aerowinx PSX visuals to P3D/FSX, but because of the simconnect similarities between the SDK for those and the new Sim, this works for providing a visual output for FS2020 on the 3 projector setup. The projector warping software is called Immersive Display Pro, and allows us to have a near 180° field of view, which as you can see looks very impressive in practice" If you cockpit builders like to go big on the 747 (Aerowinx 747 systems in the backend) 😉 EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
