February 14, 20215 yr Hello All, I was searching for reviews of P3D v.5, just to see how it compared with X-Plane 11 with respect to airliners and scenery etc... when I found a review on a blog. I wanted to post it here so people are aware that "Virtualpilot3d.com" is a scam (apparently, since I've seen tons of scam reports on this forum referring to known FS sites reviewing it. Here is the link to this "best Flight sim" site: https://bestnewflightsimulatorgames.blogspot.com/ Just an FYI and a warning to our amazing Flight Sim community. 🙂 John Montreal, Canada John I love my iddy biddy Jumbo! *system specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, ASUS ROG Strix B550F m.b., AMD Radeon X5700 8GB VRAM, 32GB RAM, ASUS 28" VG289Q 4K monitor @2560x1440p, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant, Samsung Evo 970 500GB, Samsung Evo 970 Pro 1TB.

February 17, 20215 yr Thanks for reminding us John. This scam has been around for at least 9-10 years now.

Kinda embarrassed and since I always used either MSFS (2004 and FSX) or now, I use X-Plane, one of the major flightsims, I didn't even look at scams on flightsims. Oh well. I am glad I checked at the last minute before buying and saw the scam news.
