Fsx 2020

[Rdtcmtt]

Well folks, i must say i truly enjoy X plane, but i will be honest with you. i have been using FSX for years.

And i occasionally used X plane when i had problems with FSX. 

When FSX died in 2006 , when they fired all of the folks at Microsoft. Fsx went by the wayside. Other developers took over and did there best to keep it up and running.

I decided to go fully with X plane , and i really started to  enjoy X -plane , when Hotstart came out with the TBN 900.

That was a plane like no other. I have been siming for 25 plus years and that plane i have enjoyed the most.

Even PDMG , did not impress me like that plane did.

But i always missed FSX for some reason.

So what does Microsoft do, they are coming out with a sim that looks impossible to pull off. I mean if they are serious about what they are about to release.

I'm talking about FSX 2020.

From what im seeing in the Sim, I cannot wait for the release. If it does what they claim that this sim will do.

X plane you are in trouble. I believe even hardcore X planers will make the switch just to see if its real.

And if it is as good as they say it will be. Any true sim gamer will have no choice but to make the switch. 

After all this is what we have been waiting for , is it not. Years of tweaking , and adding files , more software to make software better.

Adding this file to make this file work. Upgrading computers just to get a few more frame rates  to get more realism. ETC.

Is this the Flightsim we have all been waiting for. and im talking about us guys that have been siming  for years.

We have more software that we care to remember.

I'm chomping at the bit waiting for the release. My computer is all ready set up for it. I have all-ways upgraded my com, ahead of the curve.

So what am i saying, im saying That X plane had better get busy in keeping up with , whats about to come out. Even Stevo kinevo is waiting on 2020 to come out .

And he uses X planes Hotstart to practice with. So what does that tell you.

Hotstart i suggest you get busy with a 2020 TBN900/940 , or you will start to loose clientele.

I love your Tbn 900, but if 2020 is that good, i will have no choice but to put you on the shelf.

And i suspect that X-plane will start to loose customers also.

Look at it this way, when Uber and lyft came on the market, yellow cab literally lost 60 to 70 percent of there business.

They waited to long to catch up with the times, and now its to late for them. nobody but the hardcore folks use the yellow cab.

So X plane , i suggest you start to get busy real fast and get your sim up to Parr fast.

Microsoft looks like they spent tons of money and the best developers out there and the best technology to get , what looks like the best ever sim to come out.

X plane , to me seems like it was a one man show trying to do it all by himself. Just my opinion on that.

I always looked at Laminar Research as a one man show. I dont know why but , that's the way i saw it compared to FSX.

When FSX failed in 2006, that's when i started to get more involved in X plane. It was very good , but lacking some of the things i loved about FSX.

The x plane flight model was superb, but was lacking in other things that made it excellent . It always in its earlier days seem like a ghost town when flying there excellent planes.

You were alone all the time, that is if you loaded there extra packaged to feel more like you were not alone. But it still took more software to make it seem more real.

FSX , even though there planes were not that good, they gave you the full package, atc, better graphics,  dumb al planes all over the place running into each other. But you did not feel alone.

X plane got better down thru the years always competing with FSX. 

When FSX failed , Xplane became the king of the Sims.

Well X plane you have work to do, and so does Hotstart with your TBM900.

If FSX 2020 does what they say it will do, you will loose customers.

Just look at the reviews and what folks are saying about 2020 and Youtube. there are all excited and cannot wait for the release.

Well folks, i know i will be shot down for my half a cents worth of blabbing, but i have been flying sims longer than most of you folks age.

I'm older than dirt, so i can take it.

Nuuf Said.

You can have an opinion.  No one will roast you for it.  But there are major changes coming in X-Plane.  Austin has been dealing with people telling him he's crazy for over 20 years, for keeping a flight sim going for this long against Microsoft.  That he can never hope to be successful.  He continues to prove them wrong.

And im looking forward to  those changes also my friend.

For 24 years I was a MS simmer ( including P3D), however I was so impressed with the TBM reviews I purchased X-Plane (XP) with the believe I was going to run both on one PC. One week later I had removed P3D from my system and have been continually impressed with both X-Plane and the TBM. I for one am not looking forward to MS2020, but not fully sure why. Perhaps it was the way they ended the FS series and the way they treated ACES team. perhaps the way the launched Win 10 and the underhand schemes used to increase Win10 users, perhaps it's because X-Plane delivers everything I want, need and more.

I have one foot in both camps (P3D and X-Plane), and there are things I like with both. I have spent (too) much money on both simulators, and if I were to invest in MSFS 2020, either P3D or XP will be getting the boot from my virtual piloting.

What MSFS 2020 is bound to excel in compared to P3D and XP is the graphics/3D engine. Vulkan will help XP regarding performance, but the photo-realistic appearance of MSFS will attract a lot of simmers due to the ambience and immersion in the visuals. There is a TBM in MSFS, and wow, it looks outstanding. What hampered XP until recently was a lack of photo-realistic aircraft. Even FSX had lots of photo-realistic aircraft. And still, very few XP aircraft have authentic sounds which for me is very important for the immersion. There's no point talking to me about how great the flying model is as long as the aircraft sounds like a broken vacuum cleaner when airborne... If a developer is forced to increase the price with 20 bucks to include authentic sounds, well, I'm willing to accept that because quality sounds are very important to me.

I have the Moo, the 900, the 340 and the 737 from this very site and love them all. They all look and fly good despite some of them released some years ago. With devs like LES, Hot Start and IXEG pushing the envelope, that's what will keep me in X-Plane for years to come.

I honestly will keep

X plane installed just to fly the TBM it’s my favorite real world GA plane and hands down the best add on on the market. 
 

I just bought it 4 days ago for $70 and I just dropped $3,000 On a FS2020 PC IMHO dollars well spent. I Don’t regret my purchase at all I think there is plenty of market share available for all 3 simulators 
 

I’d easily buy the TBM again and again.
