Where are the survey results?

[David Mills 4,763]

Several weeks ago, many of us on this forum were sent email solicitations to complete a survey detailing our flight simming habits. This was a lengthy survey that took me quite a long time to complete. We were promised at the end of this survey that the results would be made public shortly. So where are the published results?

It stated on the survey that the results would only be shown to the vendors.

It says on the website that the results would be made freely available to the community:

The 2020 results were released January 11, 2021, the 2019 survey was released on February 3, 2020. I wouldn't expect anything yet based on that, although I do know they had been targeting December 17th for the release based on the survey link. The results will be on Navigraph's site when they are ready.

I could have sworn that the survey said the results would be published in mid-December.

Still no survey results.

If you took the survey, you will be sent an email when the results are posted. If not, it won't take long before the results will be on just about every flight simulator news source.

Here you go. I presume this was the survey you were talking about?

Interesting takeaways....(my takeaways - you can find their Summary on page 119)

VR interest appears to be climbing slightly.  There was a large uptick of users purchasing HP Reverb G2's.

MSFS usage appears to be climbing (again you have to consider that most of the population of data comes from Navigraph users, some from Orbx and FSElite)

2/3 of respondents use Navigraph.  1/3 uses Skyvector.  I love skyvector myself.

2/3 of people find real weather "Very important."  This is why METAR weather has to be accurate imo.  I know I'm not the only one.

50% of the people use "flight planning software" "most of the time"

70% of people started learning a new aircraft type.  I assume this means if you used to fly airliners you're now using GA, or vice versa etc.

Many of those people are using video tutorials, additionally many are using video reviews.  Youtube, Twitch and Facebook are most popular. Forum posts still seem somewhat important to people.  I know I like doing my screenshot mini reviews but people prefer video reviews hehe.
