I got FSW by punching DTG Flight School. I like the way FSW looks and handles. Up untill the 64bit barrier was broken FSX/FSX:SE and P3Dv1-3 was more or less the same. The price tag on P3D keep me away until recently. But when X-Plane came out with v11 64 bit I bought it and began to transition to it before I saw the P3DV4 was also 64 bit compatible and I got the academic license but P3DV4 went to the self because the scenery seem stuck in 2004. At first and for a while it looked like FSW would become my go to sim. In my opinion FSW flight models competed with X-Planes very well, and FSW with ORBX scenery place FSW on top of the list of 64bit flight sims. After a friend in WestWind Airlines show me how to get ORBX Scenery to work in P3DV4 and that some FSX aircraft work in P3dv4, P3DV4 now has a slight edge over all.
I am still using FSW for GA flights and for now will transition some of my commercial flights to P3D.
