As others I invested heavily in Xplane 11 and eventually bought Xplane 12. Whilst I enjoy flying airliners in 12 the lack of scenery for vfr flights and the fact that my favourite TBM 900 remains some way away from xp12 means I now use both. GA flights including hot start CL650 I run on xp11 and run commercial jets like TollissA321 on xp12 as well as CL650. If orbx and plane developers don’t catch up and xp11 does not get supported then my hobby will die with xp11 Shame as xp12 has some great plus points Water on the runway and better clouds is not enough.

Yeah maybe half mil is a little too much, 250k is a realistic number to say. As an Electrician, I made good money. 10 to 15 years ago there was some developers I wanted to sue. But didn't do it, too much money and no telling weather I would have won or not. And In UK I would have had go over their and find a lawyer and fight in their courts. I do not like doing business with companies in the UK. NO consumer protection living in the US. And yes I have been ripped off by a company in the UK. I totally agree! The retail business is tough. I never looked down that road. Always looked for a big company to work for and the US Federal Goverment did me good. Overall, life is great, flight simuation is great with X-Plane 11, And best of all Retirment is the best thing I ever did in my life!! WOOOOOOO!!!

Ditto. Plus, I have a ton of $$$ invested in both XP11 & now, XP12. Whoa! That's a lot. Hobbies can be really expensive, though. Still cheaper that real-world GA flying, IMO. And yes, I spend a ton for internet too. $1080 per year to be exact, barring any equipment purchases. You know, there are a couple things I wish people would keep in mind, the resources behind each sim. Years ago, I opened a retail store to sell computers and all the trappings that go with them. I was able to pay my bills and take a vacation, occasionally. Then, along come CompUSA and my business plummeted (I had to pivot to cell phones - Cricket and Boost). A few years later CompUSA went out of business. Point is, I know how hard it is to compete with entities that has deeper pockets. LR will be OK, no doubt, but imagine where XP would be if they had 1/4 of MSFS's resources. To be fair, they did get a little complacent after XP11 stabilized, IMO.

Hi there, Since this seems to be something you're really hoping for (seen a couple posts from you about it now), I don't want to sugarcoat the answer. There are no near-term plans to do anything for MSFS. The team has a very full plate right now with X-Plane work, and it will stay that way for quite a long time should things go as planned.

In all my years of flying X-Plane 11 and watching YT videos this is the first (known) FAA Approved simulator I've run across.

Good point. Got it thanks. I'm flying (in real life) the older G2.
