Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 10:05 pmHi All,
I started with FSX Gold just before Christmas 2011.
I have a copy of MS 98. Which at the time I loved but couldnt really use properly due lack of system requirements.
My thoughts on the current situation. MS FSX vs MS Flight, well Microsoft is looking for that return from addons that developers have been getting for some years now. Thats pretty obvious!
Will I buy MS Flight or their expansions? Hell NO!
If I wanted another Game I would buy another PS3 Game or Map addon for killing Zombies. Great stress reduction!
I love Jets! Hence the purchase of PMDGs 737 Awsome aircraft. After that purchase I even went backwards and purchased the JS41, a Turbo Prop. No its not a Jet, but I find myself getting more involved in Simulated Flying than I thought I was.
However as a New Simmer I have to Think!, about where things are going!
MS FSX auto generated scenery is absolute C#$P. So as a New simmer I bought NZSI, OMG It actually looks like NZ. Well at least at 2/6 thousand feet.
So I have started with the leap into Open source scenery developers software. A few flights around NZ and the world became really small.
Bang Aussie SP4. Another ORBX piece of software. I have to say I'm pretty impressed.
I'm not the sort of guy to buy a 100k square box of scenery. Put a decent representation of a country out there for a decent price I'll buy it.
But looking down the track It has to be a SBSL, like ORBX is going because the Moment PrePar3D 2.0 becomes a viable option! Im gonna toss FSX and jump ship.
Anything that will do what FSX is doing ATM, but doing it with todays hardware, (DX11, GPU, Processor) I'm gonna support.
It's Friday night and I have had a couple or three drinks so excuse me if I am coming across wrong for the forum.
It's just an opinion. I have as a Noob Simmer. Waiting on PrePar3D 2.0 (wont buy it atm as they will probably want more for the upgrade, Ill buy more ORBX though)
Hehe lets see how long it takes before this post is deleted from forums!
