May 16, 20224 yr Hi, I own P3Dv5 and MSFS. Most of the time I fly P3D for a number of reasons. And yes I also do VFR in P3D. That's certainly possible with good sectional charts. Every road, lake, powerline and so on is visible in P3D, at least if you use Orbx regions, LC or photo products. Today I made a short flight in MSFS, when finished I got the steam achievement (50 hours of flighttime in a single pilot profile). Haha, 50 hours in one and a half year. In P3D it's about 300 hours. But what surprised me was the number of users who have reached this achievement; 10.9% of players have reached this achievement. This means that 89.1% of the MSFS steam users has flown less than 50 hours?? I suppose a lot of users bought MSFS in the first months after release. So is MSFS gathering dust in all those computers where it is installed but hardly used. I'd like everybody to have the sim he/she likes most, but I think MSFS is a bit hyped. Rein
May 16, 20224 yr Statistics can mean anything. Have all users had their time recorded correctly? What percentage of total MSFS flight simmers use Steam? etc. To be honest, this is just going to descend into another 'my sim is better than your sim'. Much better to discuss how to make our P3D experiences better and what add-on products (payware and freeware) are under development, IMO.

May 16, 20224 yr 1 minute ago, F737NG said: Much better to discuss how to make our P3D experiences better Default objects lack a lot of detail. Also streets and rivers, coastlines and gras could be improved. I wonder, why so little people ever did improve these things often more than 10 years ago for FSX but never for P3D. When looking at MSFS gras, I see a lot of different green tones, and the best P3D gras is just one green. I wish more people would do some serious work on textures. This is the best expample here: OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons) Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet!

May 16, 20224 yr The real use of steam msfs? None whatever, as far as I'm concerned. The store version works fine for me😜.
