June 12, 20232 yr Why is LM is spending big bucks for a show geared largely for hobbyists, if it is not planning to announce something major, like P3D v6? https://flightsimexpo.com/partners sherm
June 12, 20232 yr Big bucks I don`t think so with the number of sponsors it will be peanuts to LM. And real pilots go to the show. Raymond Fry.
June 13, 20232 yr Didn't the same thing happen last year? I don't remember... 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024
June 13, 20232 yr Remember to set your expectations sky high! Surely you won't be disappointed this time.
June 13, 20232 yr This show isn't just for hobbyists it also is for all the flight schools and training company's. CPU: Intel i9-11900K @5.2 / RAM: 64GB DDR4 3200 / GPU: 4080 16GB /
June 13, 20232 yr Commercial Member What's the rush? Many folks fail to realize that while flightsim enthusiasts are not LM's primary focus, it's main bread & butter is from military and commercial contracts. The flightsim community is merely a testbed arena for their platform. Commercial and Military clients do not have the time to perform product testing unless they are looking for specific features within the simulation platform. Whereas the fltsim community is able to expand on the multiple configurations with hardware, scenery, etc. So of course, it would make sense to sponsor an event for a community upon which they. Just my thought on the issue.

June 13, 20232 yr If your thinking about V6 don`t be surprised if they don`t tell you, they are as open as MS about new releases. Raymond Fry.
June 13, 20232 yr So Lockheed Martin a multi billion dollar company spent the same amount as PMDG, ORBX, Honeycomb, Navigraph and a few others for sponsorship at a flightsim show and that is somehow a big deal? It probably cost them less than a nice client dinner lol. Incidentally, they just sent a team to Las Vegas for a week to speak as guests at our customer event and I know what their dinners cost LOL. And I am saying this as a P3D fan BTW but this is sort of making a mountain out of a molehill speculation... Edited June 13, 20232 yr by psolk Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
June 13, 20232 yr It's a good sign that they are attending and sponsoring, I will be watching online as the online pass is very good value. P.S. Online registration is only $15 plus fees, and recordings of all sessions available until the end of July. Edited June 13, 20232 yr by simfan1983

That doesn’t mean they ignore what attracts the student pilot and keeps us coming back for more. Did they need to go 64-bit? Or go from DX9 to DX12? Or maintain backward compatibility with FSX and earlier versions of P3D with a few exceptions. I’m sure they take us into account more than you might think. Ray (Cheshire, England).

By all means Ray, of course they take the Flightsim community into account, but my statement was that the community is not LM's primary focus. They are a great team to work with and they do listen to simmers and developers, and fix and or implement changes when able to.

Whilst I’m assured they read everything posted on their forum it would be better if they engaged with us more. Take the finding I posted on their site a few months back. Over 2,000 airports have no parking positions. So how does an aircraft land or depart? Nothing back from them. Ray (Cheshire, England).

They did once if you remember on this very forum so did PMDG but some the remarks made put an end to that, so PMDG host their own forum under their own rules. Raymond Fry.

Yes this is my second coming to Avsim I was a member when FS2000,2004 and FSX under a different email, but stop simming for a while due workload. Then Avsim crashed and when I came back had to start again. PMDG had a support forum that PMDG developers participated in that required your real name in the sig so they could tell you were a users of the product. due some post that were not complementary and did not use the product. LM developers also posted in this forum but stopped for the same reason. PS I have been a member or a reader of the forum for over 25 years. Edited June 14, 20232 yr by G-RFRY Raymond Fry.
