I guess that you guys have been spoiled by the ultra realistic graphics in MSFS.

I guess that you guys have been spoiled by the ultra realistic graphics in MSFS. I do not recall the VC graphics being all that bad in the P3Dv4 version.

They were great.... in P3D.  The difference in cockpits (texturing and modelling) though is quite large.  One can easily spot a p3d/fsx port in msfs.

I agree they need an updated VC as well as an updated exterior model.  However my love for flying this plane is so strong I'd be ok flying it now and waiting to get that later.  Even a straight port would look nicer than p3d.  Assuming that rain drops on the windscreen would work now since that's a sim level thing?

 

Exactly!

I liked the plane and bought the pro version but quite frankly to me it's overrated and I think a giant part of that was that its performance to complexity ratio was in a class by itself.  This aspect is largely a non-issue now compared to way back when in P3D where 5 wind turbines could take performance into the toilet.  Plus, one of their forum's chief trolls, "Snave", an apt portmanteau for, "Snotty Nave", flavors the whole company's ethos, IMHO of course 😉.  I'll only buy if it's absolutely world class by MSFS standards.

We have to see what they mean by a port; they may be referring to porting the systems logic and flight dynamics, although those will certainly need to be tuned for the environmental simulation in MSFS. For sure I would have no interest if the model were the same one as used in P3D. It is 2022, there is no longer a need to choose between these two.

Perhaps graphical modeling is not their thing and they need to look for external help.  I mean even the visual enhancement project hardly made things much better.  

That approach worked wonders for FlySimWare...look at the gorgeous and highly function C414 we got as a result.

Don’t know like you don’t know, how much was the Maddog compared to the p3d version?

These are the Maddog prices at Simmarket:
P3Dv4: €80
P3Dv5: €95
v4 to v5 upgrade: €15
MSFS: €75

All cases are excluding VAT. That's a €20 difference between the P3D v5 version and the MSFS one. Not as steep as the FSL vs Fenix one, but still a difference.
