No one had a problem coughing up $79 to pay for MSFS, which cannot be used for actual flight training regardless of the hardware attached.
What do I think? I think the VR implementation needs polish (using an Index outside of the Steam environment) but everything else I have tried impressed me greatly. I have the full version of XP12.
As far as this game goes, I'm just looking at the value of it. I already paid the full $60 price for XP11, and there's nothing really groundbreaking in XP12. It's small evolution from the previous product. In some games, this would even be a free update.
I did, wasn't till after I bought it that I came to the conclusion I had made a mistake. I'm really glad that Laminar Research issued me a refund.
What made you realize the full game wasn't right for you even though you liked the demo enough to buy the full game? Was it some performance issue or you're just not that much into flying anymore?
I would assume the key I entered when I bought it was revoked. I didn't test it, as soon I saw the money back I deleted it.
Too much like XP 11 for me. I needed the full version as I was going to fly on VATSIM thus why I bought it.
Nah, it was fine. In fact I was using it fully maxed out.
Certainly not the case.
XP11 with addons is very good simulator. What XP12 offer more than it? ATM XP11 have better planes and graphically difference is not big. Maybe situation is different when stable comes but now best options are XP11 or MSFS.
The only difference between the FAA approved version and the consumer version is ... the FAA approved version has bigger higher resolution panels for integration with approved hardware and the non-pilot training aircraft (Heavy Metal, military birds, and experimental planes) have been removed. The base code, including the Blade Element Theory flight dynamics are exactly the same.
One major benefit of XP12 over XP11 will be the ability to take advantage of all the future upgrades (from 12.current to 12.6x) expected over the next few years. XP11 will receive no further updates.
X-Plane and MSFS2020 are not direct competitors. Laminar's product in the Mac world is a big monopoly. There are no competitors to it the the Maciverse. X-Plane will live on despite what Microsoft has planned for their simulator. Not to mention Laminar's "pro" customers powering their real world flight training with their software backbone.
