Which one is selling the most so far???
markrey:
It's very interesting to hear virtuali speak on the capabilities of FSX. I do not use it because I cannot justify the overall expense to myself. But I do know that FSX is a wellspring of potential for features the likes of which we have never seen.
Such a shame all that potential is hamstrung by a split market. In all my years I've never seen this kind of split so far into the life of the newer sim. I guess it was inevitable though. As fs has advanced more of us are 'content' as never before. Speaking for myself, fs9 addons brought visuals to a level I longed for since I started with fs4, not to mention advanced aircraft. FSX to me was like more candy to a child already stuffed :)
If at some point (fs11?) the performance demand on hardware remains relatively flat for the new platform as it did fs8-fs9, then we will all finally move on en masse once more.

I was just thinking guys that FSX's condition is really amazing. Here we have software that was released in 2006 that can't feasibly be fully embraced at least by FSDreamteam's measure until 2009 (I'm saying 2010).
Dimon:
Things to consider:
Look at the number of posts under FSX and FS2004 support for both ORD and ZUR. FSX support activity is roughly 50% of FS2004.
Dillon:
That's because the product was originally built for FSX and ported over to FS9...
Sekhet:
Just a tid bit.....
I had the chance to speak with a client who is a manager of some kind over at Microsoft, and will remain nameless, and he tells me that even though the "offical reports" say other wise, the truth is that FS9 still is out selling FSX 3 to 1! ::)
Mmmm... Go Figure. ???
