November 11, 20223 yr Will anyone here be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Microsoft Flight Simulator? I understand it will be going off with a bang over at the other place.

November 11, 20223 yr No, no celebrations planned. Didn't even know that anniversary was coming up. Best regards, Dimitrios 9950X3D - 64 GB - RX 7900 XTX - TrackIR - Power-LC M39 WQHD - Honeycomb Alpha yoke, Saitek pedals & throttles in a crummy home-cockpit - MSFS for props, P3D for jets
November 11, 20223 yr I will follow "Twitchers", Youtubers and such... that's it for now. I thought a lot these days if I buy MSFS but in the end I decided to bet on the "safe side"* and continue with P3D. * Historical weather, the entire 737NGXu fleet, FSLabs... the huge scenery library I have... 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024
November 11, 20223 yr Moderator What is there to celebrate when Microsoft abandoned flight sim back in 2009? Maybe users in this forum should be celebrating the anniversary of LM releasing P3D v1 in Autumn 2010. Ray (Cheshire, England).

November 11, 20223 yr wow the frustrations have to be quite big with some of us 😄 They celebrate 40 years of the brand and nobody in this context cares about if they left the sim for a few years, abondened Flight or who else brought something out some years ago. Its a happy day for the ones using MSFS and I will at least enjoy what we have now and get today. Enjoy the sim you fly. I enjoy three of them even if the two older ones are quite hard to look at in the meantime... Happy flying! Cheers T. oh just noticed the post is def in the wrong forum! Sorry...

There was an 14 year gap between the release of FSX and MSFS being launched. That's more than a few years. They've burnt their bridges as far as I'm concerned. 1 hour ago, Torsen said: oh just noticed the post is def in the wrong forum! Sorry... Don't worry, not a problem. Ray (Cheshire, England).

November 11, 20223 yr Prepar3D is also an descendant of FS1, so we can also celebrate. At least, they confess still beeing part of this development. I started flightsimming with Falcon 3 in 1991 I think and soon came into contact with FS4. Since then, I had all versions and after FSX I changed to P3D1.4 and went further with that. So thats 31 years for me. I think it's cool to celebrate 40 years flightsim, no matter what you fly.

November 11, 20223 yr @Ray Proudfoot I have the upmost respect for you, but was that really necessary? 🙂 Besides, it's the brand and concept of "Microsoft Flight Simulator", which are being celebrated. Not a specific sim... at least that's the way I see it. 🙂 I'm very much looking forward to this Anniversary Update. Lots of good stuff! Cheers everyone and happy flying.

Expressing how I feel? I don’t see any relation to the versions of FS that Aces produced and the current release. It’s as different as chalk and cheese. So much so I can’t buy into it.

The light at the end of the tunnel for me has been LM embracing ESP and making it so much better whilst retaining backward compatibility. Ray (Cheshire, England).
