The tech in other simulators is already miles ahead and development continues at breakneck speed. LM does not care as we are not their bread and butter. You can embrace the future and enjoy the amazing advances/experiences new sims give you or stick with the familiar and go the way of FSX. At least now Microsoft has given you a choice. I don’t think anyone is arguing this. I think it’s the fact that RR is talking about slow sales for a platform for which his company has released next to nothing in the last few years. The people who want the NGXu/777/747 already have them. I believe MSFS is the future (at least as long as P3D doesn’t make a giant leap forward), but that doesn’t meant P3D is a dead platform.
February 8, 20224 yr They haven’t released anything new worth buying since the NGXu. Of course sales aren’t great. The 777 expansion was ridiculously overpriced.

February 8, 20224 yr Is as if the MSFS fanboi enjoy developers leaving the P3D market and come here and tell us that the other sim is the future. Good for you.

Heck. with all the competition now at MSFS, in theory it could be end of the road for PMDG. You never know. Innovators keep innovating. I mean look at the fenix and the airbus they've made. Nobody a few years ago would have seen a serious competitor to fslabs. Or who knows. This time next year it could be clear that xp12 is on final approach to be the winner in the entertainment airliner market. tons of uncertainty right now 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

February 8, 20224 yr As time go by i find myself more and more interested in the DC6 and Concorde for P3DV5. I do have DC6 currently installed in V4 but havent touch that since v5 so i might just leave it there. I also might update the Dash8. Michael Moe Michael Moe
February 8, 20224 yr Michael, Use the reg edit method and install in into v5. Last PMDG I'll ever buy. I wonder what happened to GFO... Promises made and not kept... Dave Wadsworth i9 13900K 5.5Ghz 64G DDR6000 nVidia 4090 Win 11 22H2 Pro P3DV5.4 ASP/ASCA Pilot2ATC FS2Crew/TIR5/CP
