I experienced a similar situation flying from TNCS (island of Saba) to TNCE (island of Sint Eustatius) with the default Cessna 172. Landing the plane was easy (as long as I ignored the LSO)!
My most used aircraft in order of time spent flying:
1. Default Cessna 172SP (mostly the steam gauge and amphibious versions)
2. Default Cirrus Vision SF50
3. DreamFoil Creations Bell 407

Ted, thanks for the YouTube link!
I just finished installing EddieSkyPack, Airport Environment HD and "TheULTIMATE" MOD and my already great looking X-Plane looks even better!
I'm finding X-Plane 11 very refreshing after years of using FSX and lately P3D. If I had to pick a flight sim to fly without addons; X-Plane 11 would be my first choice by an extremely large margin....
Same problem that P3Dv4 has; in fact I get better FPS in X-Plane 11!
Forget about P3Dv4; I just installed X-Plane 11 on my new system and I'm blown away by how great it looks and runs now.
On the old computer I didn't have the video card to handle 8x SSAA+FXAA in...
Two weeks ago, I finally got a custom built rig (i7-8700k, GTX 1070 OC, 16gb RAM) to run P3Dv4. This machine is just adequate for running P3D; but with absolutely no AI, boats or car traffic.

I gave up on Dell. A couple of weeks ago I had to return the Alienware Aurora R7 I had just bought (after spending hours on the phone with tech support); the computer would just quit unexpectedly.

Maybe someone without FSX:SE was actually planning to buy this? Maybe they don't understand your business decision on this one and are reacting by simply voting with their wallets.
Everyone has different hardware/software drivers, settings, preferences and expectations. On my system (with how I like to configure things) P3Dv3 represented a 30-50% frame rate hit compared with...
I can't comment on the V2.5 to V3 update, but I can say that V3 is the first Prepar3d version that sounded enticing enough for this long time FSX user to give it a try.
Overall, I'm very happy...
Microsoft Flight Simulator X sold 280,000 copies in 2007 alone, with a much higher asking price than $5.00.
I agree that a CT-133 Silver Star would be most welcome.
A quote from another flight sim site:
"I'm actually getting really tired of the constant changes in P3D. Especially because this time a whole reinstall is required. I dont want to do a fresh...
As one would expect from a simulator based on Microsoft ESP and not FSX. I took one look at ESP (when it was first announced by Microsoft) and realized it was not aimed at the same market as FSX.
That's peculiar; I didn't perceive any conflict, just a statement of fact clarifying a position taken with respect to product support.

Actually, it was started in reaction to the impression management tactics used by P3D adherents; and also because I thought it would be fun as a Reversal Theory exercise.
Not if you're a P3D user.
Except that Microsoft did not sell the FS franchise. They sold a license to the technology and the rights to sell an online version of FSX; just as they sold a license to the ESP technology....
Which is precisely why I started this thread. A subtle reminder that if I really wanted to consider P3D I would using the Prepar3D forum (with 8 Viewing) as opposed to the FSX forum (with 61...
There are good reasons why the majority of flight simmers stick with FSX:
1. Compatible with the widest range of the latest and greatest addons.
2. The license allows for using the simulator as...
At first I thought, doesn't P3D have its own forum here at SOH. Then I realized that it does have its own forum, but with P3D being such a limited market the post would probably not be noticed.
If you are using the Deluxe version of FSX you can use the Object Placement Tool that Microsoft provided. A tutorial for using it can be found here:...
The mesh resolution for default FSX:
USA 38m
Europe, Mexico, Canada, 76m
After that it gets unclear. According to one source I found: "Rest of world can be low as of 306m", yet FSGenesis says...
I didn't know you could get the A2A Cherokee 180 or C172 Trainer at a base price; where can I get this?
