Anirbinna Roy Posted December 1 Posted December 1 To be honest with you no. P3D does not have a single merit nowadays. It's obsolete in every way. The "both sides" argument at this point is just appeasing, but it simply doesn't have ground to stand on. …………………………………Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

That is/was the general consensus, Stephen. However, with the arrival of 2024 this seems to be up in the air. Blade element theory [X-Plane] v/s CFD (computational fluid dynamics) [MSFS2024]. May I suggest you watch this, as performed by a real world A32x captain.

He’s a free agent and decided to work with Fenix on their MSFS products. Seems completely reasonable. 3 Quote

LM only entered the arena because Microsoft pulled the plug on the Aces team 16 years ago. Without their involvement people would still have been flying FSX until 2020 or have switched to XP. More respect should be shown to LM. P3D will always run and doesn’t require remote servers. The last two weeks have been an unmitigated disaster for MSFS2024. No doubt they’ll get their act together but I’m still very wary of being so reliant on external resources. 4 4 Quote

As I've created large parts of the A32NX FBW and Autopilot system this is of special interest for me :-) I'm really looking forward to trying it out. We'll really welcome your opinion Andreas!

fahdriyami Posted December 1 Posted December 1 Really looking forward to FSLabs entry into MSFS. That said, I hope the A321neo is a standalone product rather than an expansion to the A321ceo. I already have a ceo in MSFS and it doesn't make sense to me to get a second one just to I can get a neo expansion with it. Also looking forward to the A330! Unfortunately, the one built into MSFS 2024, while better than default, is not as high-fidelity an aircraft as what I like to fly. Keep up the great work, exciting times ahead! 4 Quote

Ray Proudfoot Posted December 1 Posted December 1 @stephen speak, money invested in a sim seems to go out of the window for many people when something new comes along. I've invested heavily in airports, aircraft and other software for P3D. To junk it all now makes no sense. Everything works perfectly and the icing on the cake was Steam's Lossless Generation that cost me an outrageous 7GBP and has doubled my frame rates. I've been enjoying flying a 64-bit Concorde for the last year. Those waiting for the MSFS version have no idea how much longer they'll wait. And it's that particular aircraft that simply does gain any benefit from another sim. When you're climbing after takeoff you really don't have time to admire the view. And neither do you when on cruise/climb as you're over water. Water is water is water irrespective of the sim. During the decel and descent you need your wits about you as I've found the decel point isn't always right so I'm manually calculating it myself using the HP200X utility. Just because a prettier woman that your wife / girlfriend turns up is that sufficient reason to dump your spouse even if she's a better cook and companion? Hmmm. 1 2 Quote

No doubt they’ll get their act together but I’m still very wary of being so reliant on external resources. I'm sorry but that's a ridiculous notion. Respect not only has to be earned but also has to be maintained. Lockheed Martin has proven completely incapable or unwilling to evolve its product in step with the evolution of technology (and I'm not talking only about graphics) and has decided to stick to a codebase that can only be defined as a fossil or a stinking carrion to the detriment of its users and the developers relying on the platform. They have hidden behind the "we're not an entertainment product" excuse for a ludicrously long time (but then they go to FS Expo to blabber nonsense at entertainment customers), and that excuse has passed its expiration date long ago. Considering LM's financial resources, they could have *easily* created a simulator on par with MSFS from scratch if they decided to make a proper investment, but they opted very willingly to stick with the shortcut of sublicensing an incredibly obsolete product that even comes with strings attached. They deserve zero respect for that. Not even a little bit. Microsoft Flight Simulator has brought much-needed evolution to the simulation genre, and with it the ability for developers like FSLabs to hopefully make a living without having to get grey hair by optimizing every little bit of margin that they can. I honestly feel for developers like this one who *tried* to continue supporting P3D as long as they could. I can't imagine their finances benefited from that, and I can only hope that MSFS and MSFS 2024 help them recover. Lockheed Martin represents the stubborn refusal to evolve and to create a market that can let third-party developers actually thrive, and that's not a respectable stance. It has never been. It will never be. They may be able to ridiculously overcharge governments, but most simmers are smarter customers than that and have seen that the (false) emperor is naked long ago. PS: you shouldn't talk about MSFS2024. You always seem to be very keen on talking about Microsoft's simulators (negatively) when you notoriously don't have direct visibility on the subject matter. I suggest you stick to what you know. Most of the issues are already gone, and it's already an infinitely superior product compared to P3D from every point of view. Without even looking at the visuals (that would be uncharitable, like shooting on an ambulance), the level both its systems and flight dynamics have reached is completely unreachable for P3D. 5 Quote

Clearly not. They’ve taken it from DX9 to DX12, 32-bit to 64-bit, multi core processing, enhanced global terrain and a whole lot more. It’s your claim that’s ridiculous. 12 minutes ago, Giuseppe Nelva said: PS: you shouldn't talk about MSFS2024.

I attend a monthly flight sim meeting where I can see it first hand. Wrong on that count too. I’ve always been open to new software but I’m never an early adopter. I wait and make judgement calls based on feedback in the various forums. In four years I’ve seen nothing that tempts me to buy it. I see you haven’t bought a single FSL product. Why are you here? And having seen Norman’s post that’s me done. 3 Quote

Fairly sure I'm in the right place, and I'm far from the only one. I'm also ready to bet that FSL hopes to get a lot of potential new customers like me. 2 1 Quote

I'm sorry, but you are wrong on so. many. god. damn. levels. You seem to be laboring under the idea that general public flight simulator games are be all, end all of simulator development. That LM has been making content with scraps so it can keep its commercial side over water. That it's dead. You are not even scratching the surface... it was, in fact, exactly the other way around. LM bought ESP and created P3D to ensure continuity of its commercial solutions. P3D is used at all levels from driving basic, generic FNPT to being the visual engine for a full-cockpit, hydraulic moving sims. It is us, home simmers, who got the scraps, and we should be happy for that, because it not only allowed the flight simulation hobby to hobble along for the 10 or so years between disbanding the ACES team and announcement of new generation MSFS, but to thrive with regards to innovation in top tier products like FSL. 1 1 1 Quote
