This is oddly familiar stuff. Played every single iteration religiously since MSFS 3.0.
Y’all recall the bugs and glitches circa 2006, after FSX came out? How about all them patches for stutters, the famous blurries, time tweaking .cfg files... Spent hundreds of hours (and many more dollars) to bring that sim to a respectable state, loads of 3rd party scenery, textures, aircraft, and misc. Served me well and still gives me giggles every time I load up a busy airport like KATL or EGLL, pull real-time weather, etc.
Then MSFS 2020 blew the doors open. My jaw is still somewhere on the ground with the visuals. it’s just next level.
Seriously, it’s only been 4-5days, and remember this is basically a default sim. You can tell they have learned from past issues and yes AP features and flight modeling besides the Cessna 152 pretty much junk. But just think of the potential when say PMDG and Fly Tampa start rolling out their goodies, or in 12 months (or couple years) everything gets sorted out with AI/ATC, and 3rd party software with FSUIPC integration. Like it always does.
So yeah, going back to FSX for maybe a little while longer but it will soon be sayonara!
