I was an MSFS alpha-tester and have flown pretty much nothing else since...until this week.
Agreed the default planes are a mixed bunch and not to my taste, so I only fly FSX imports, and part of the fun is the challenge of getting old favorites to work again, even if they are slightly dysfunctional.
It's the scenery and particularly the feeling of being there that's the big attraction especially for VFR flyers.
So this week I yielded and bought the old Wilco Harrier GR3, nominally FSX-P3Dv4, to try in MSFS. It converts easily and mostly works, 50% instruments, no vectored thrust, no HUD, dodgy FM....
So I tried it in P3DV4...still no vectored thrust, no HUD and the textures are dodgy, but the instruments mostly work. I've fixed the vectoring but still no HUD.
So I resurrected P3DV2 and everything on the Harrier works
Point of all this is that I've posted 3 comparison videos - same plane, same Welsh valley, 3 sims. The videos illustrate
a, the differences between the sims
b, the poor performance of my elderly system

For now I'll be sticking with P3Dv2.4
