buy for P3d or X-Plane?
-
Hey, Folks,
Not looking to start a sim vs sim flame war, so please refrain.
I've gone through the product descriptions, etc. and noted some of the differences presumably due to sim capabilities.
Fact is I still fly P3D just about as much as X-Plane (it basically comes down to which plane I want to fly), but since this one is now available for both sims, I'm wondering if anyone has any hands-on advice (e.g., you have JF products on both sims) on which might be better.
Or simply curious if this one has been satisfying for you so far.
For me, flight model "feel" is the paramount concern. My favorite P3D add-ons are A2A, MilViz Advanced, & Majestic mainly for that reason. Conventional wisdom would push me towards the X-Plane version for that reason, but I dislike making assumptions.
Any thoughts/advice welcome.

I am with you on this, I am feeling the x-plane version has more features, when comparing the descriptions, the FMS will be updated on the x-plane version as well beyond the default currently used and then X-planes simulation model, including its better ground taxiing characteristics. I've also heard the VR experience is so suppose to be great too on XP.
I think x-plane maybe the winner here. Not something I say very often...

It's sad the P3D version has apparently been abandoned. No update since 5 months (e.g. still G/S issues), also the promised FMC update is still missing.
I have been really supportive regarding the 146 and have recommended it everywhere half a year ago. That outcome however was not foreseeable.
I will keep that in mind for further JustFlight purchases.Mike

The last update for the P3D version was in January. It only came out on 28th November. Details are here:

And the next P3D update is in progress and due for release soon.
Worth pointing out again that our P3D and XP11 dev teams are entirely separate, so work on one version has no direct bearing on the other.

Sadly I still couldn't make my mind on this. I like P3D more, but many people point out that X-Plane version is better. Is there a list of differences for both versions? X-Plane version is also $10 cheaper, and I feel like it will receive more love from the developers compared to the P3D version. There's also an upcoming Avro RJ version for X-Plane, while nothing is announced for P3D, at least that I know of. I guess X-Plane has more priority than P3D right now.

@JoeNuts Really? I couldn't find any announcement about the P3D version, could you give a link?

@BiologicalNanobot These pics were made in P3D. JF would never drop P3d ;) https://community.justflight.com/topic/1148/avro-rj-expansion/4

@JoeNuts I hope you are right. Seeing how 146 for X-Plane gets a lot more love, it is hard to feel so. But feelings can often be irrational, and I know that Just Flight is working on it, so I still have my hopes.

Hi Martyn,
