I'm not sure how you used X-Plane mobile, but I've never "waved it around in front of my face" to use it.  Small corrections are more than enough.

Indeed ... (good) flying means only very little movement with the yoke, stick, pedals. Every real pilot knows that. Same applies for flight simulators. If anyone does it different, he does it terribly wrong.

Hey Uwe... long time no see ! 😀

I wrote already a few posts some weeks ago - however, .

 

Interesting to see how all this is unfolding

That one definitely goes in this thread.

Wow ! Looking Great !!! your 744 Sparks 👌

So when can we expect this year of the android desktop to begin? I mean this year in which XP mobile will finally take over the flight simulation market, and where we will all get the best sim experience by waving our smartphone, but just a little, because only the bad aviator has to wave his smartphone a lot.

I mean it should of course be obvious for every flight sim expert that Android/XP mobile is the best platform, definitely better than a PC or (god forbid) an Xbox, which is just a puny console and cannot compete with android for flight sim!

Good lord, guys. I love this forum, it's so entertaining 😄

Because they nearly all have ~intel 550 iGPUs, aren't used much and people spend virtually nothing on software for them once they have Chrome and MS Office installed.

Say what? According to the link below, Intel on-board graphics account for 6.94% of systems, by my rough estimation.

Your 744 panel looks good, though. 👍

Agree! Watching the suffering of LR haters makes this forum entertaining!

I can't imagine their contributions when XP12 will be released... I'm already laughing at their future posts! 🤭

Let's just hope that the last laugh won't be on you.

60 to 80% of the 500 million windows 10 machines

7% of systems on steam.

hence why there are only 110 million windows users on steam (90% of 120million https://www.statista.com/statistics/308330/number-stream-users/#:~:text=Steam had approximately 120 million,monthly active users in 2019.)

which is basically "everyone who bought a PC for gaming plus a few others"

Soon to be replaced by SteamOS once the new one launches alongside the deck.

Windows 11 will support Android Apps.

It's not an Android desktop, but it's an interesting mash-up.

There is also the Linux Subsystem:

Strange things happening since the Ballmer era has ended. I don't see a benefit for the average user yet, but maybe that's just me.

I dont think its dreaming to say there is a reasonable probability that a good portion of the 120 million steam users will switch to steamos 3.0+ in the next few years, especially when they are all fps crazy and

Been doing a lot of testing over the past few weeks, running X-Plane 11 under Windows 10 / 11 and under a Linux Mint installation. Under Linux, especially in intensive areas like KLAX with maximum object rendering, I'm seeing a solid 10-12 or even 15FPS higher FPS, which is a lot when it's sometimes dipping under 30 on Windows. I'm really curious to see whether I see similar results under X-Plane 12, then I'd seriously consider moving permanently to Mint as my daily driver.

It just needs to not be words linux and mac based developers use to describe windows.

One way or another really dont think they will be switching to windows 11.

Earlier versions of steamos could be downloaded as well. You can download it right now. You can also install almost any other linux and install proton on it. Being able to run games in an emulator (yes, I know, I know) is not a reason that can persuade lots of gamers to switch their OS, especially when their OS supports the to-be-emulated games natively and also supports lots of emulators. And is practictally free as well.

Oh yes they will, and they will love every bit of it.

Edit: Well not every bit, possibly 😄

sure, but the previous attempt failed after selling "only" 500k units, due to being "words linux and mac based developers use to describe windows"
