I have spent so much time and $$$ on FSX/P3D over the last few years I am just tired of the hassle to get it working properly and buying add-ons.
I had tried X-plane in the past and was not impressed. This time I tried version 11 and I’m sold. Great graphics and a huge community of freeware developers. Quick and easy setup of aircraft and scenery and an option to have key controls set to FSX/P3D. Love this program. Payware is also less expensive. Downside: poor ATC.
Still love and use P3D but I’m able to spend more time flying and less time tinkering.
