I've been wondering when the number of MSFS forum posts will exceed the P3D forum posts. It's looking like it might happen this weekend (or before June 1, 2022).

Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

I'm (or was) a diehard P3D user (heck, I've been a diehard FS9er from 2005 to mid-2019), but I can't deny the amount of new blood MSFS has brought here.

Now, the big question: how long will it take until MSFS exceeds the posts in the FSX forums?

Best regards,

Why is the post count for either forum significant? As some sort of measurement? And, if so, a measurement of what? I must be missing something........

Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage. Klaatu barada nickto.

If you have a favorite simulator or two or three I don't suppose it matters to you much which gets the most posts on the forums.  The old reliables or the shiny new objects.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Seems a bit of a double edged sword: people mostly post when they have some sort of a problem.....
