Fs95,98,2000,2002,2004,fsx… kind of expected, I’ll buy it day one if only to support the flight simulation genre and to play my part in progress.

I’ve used both, both work but I so much prefer tobii for the fact that I don’t have to wear anything on my head, for those that say “well the hardware is light and you barely notice it”… don’t really care if it’s light and barely noticeable, I prefer nothing, and tobii offers that.

Wasn’t it like watching paint dry or something to that effect 😂😂

I’ll echo what everyone pretty much is saying, I was on the fence with the buttkicker for a very long time, decided to finally give it a try and bought one a year or so ago, while expensive, I’d happily buy another one when this one expires without a second thought.. adds so much to the sim, that clunking feeling when the gear on my 737 drops, or retracts, along with everything else of course. Absolutely love it. It packs a real punch though, so no need to use it full blast, If I had to guess I’d say I use mine at 25% levels, which is enough for me, along with sim shakers module.

Does photogrammetry work with the google map mod? I don’t know why but the google map mod makes me nervous in the sim stability department( of course that’s just me thinking out loud as I’ve never tried it)

Out of curiosity, why does age matter?

I’ve always tried to describe how horrible I found discord to be and this is by far the perfect way to describe it, nail hit right on the head perfectly!

Sure can 😉

That’s odd, Weird you would say your possibly doing something wrong, your clearly not if you don’t have no maintenance issues, why would you think your doing something wrong? Other than that, I’m not sure what to tell you..every time I let p3d sit for an amount of time I’m met with warning pop ups, sometimes it’s .dll issues, sometimes it’s software add on issues, so I’d say no, you didn’t miss anything if your replying to my maintenance comment. Folks, please note I am not down talking p3d , in fact I loved my p3d, I simply stated I have no time to maintain multiple sims. between work, kids, the house, my other hobbies such as my 2 motorcycles, my 4 wheeling, my classic truck building and my simulator enjoyment, I need to pick and choose how my time Is spent, that’s all! If all I had to do is sim, I’d have all sims available including falcon 4.0, dcs, X-plane p3d msfs etc etc. which I love all of them, well maybe not dcs as I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it’s great, which leads back to my first point, I have no time for dcs, but I’d love to give it a go. Cheers!

Good for you, I spent lots of time maintaining.

I don’t have time to maintain multiple sims let alone find time to even use the sim, and every time, and I mean every time I let p3d sit for any amount of time over say a week or so it seems when I start it up there is always something gone wrong that needs to be looked after or fixed. So I figured I’d give msfs a shot and uninstall p3d, if I ever do decide to go back, I would start fresh anyways. And even if I do look at going back to p3d, I may opt to go the X-plane route this time around instead, by ripping the band aid off, I feel like I have fresh options.

Since msfs was released, I’ll admit I’ve abandoned p3d as I haven’t used it since msfs released, I even went as far as uninstalling…. After reading a lot of these posts, not all but lots, I kind of want to re-install p3d and fly the majestic dash 8 as well as some heavies around. I don’t know that I will, but I’m getting the urge to fly some high fidelity aircraft, of which I have a lot of them invested in p3d.

Just make sure your old android device has the AR capable camera I believe it’s called, if memory serves me right, any Apple device before the iPhone 8 or 6(can’t remember) doesn’t have said camera capabilities and wouldn’t work with the software, I’d imagine the same with android devices due to the early technology of older devices.

I was skeptical at first but figure if I lose 15$ it won’t be a big deal..turns out it works fantastic with msfs. I had to play with the curve profiles but once I got those dialed in it’s flawless. You do have to download a piece of software that's free onto your pc so that smooth track can communicate with the sim. But once you have the software it’s 2 clicks and it works every time, never had it not work.

I may have misinformed and my apologies, I will update my post but you may be right, may only be an iOS and android app, not sure but maybe you can get the smooth track app on a windows device IE your pc and then link up your webcam. I was sure I read somewhere it can be used with a webcam(although I read a lot of stuff) but I will remove that reference to not misguide anyone..Thank you for pointing that out. I myself have both an android and iOS device however I use it on iOS so can confirm it works great with iOS.
