FlightSim Community Survey 2018 Results
The typical flight simulator enthusiast is a 43 year old male from the United States. He flies simulators 2-3 times per week for about 5-10 hours in total and was introduced to flight simulation 20 year ago. There is a 27% likelihood he already has some sort of pilot license. If so, he was introduced to flight simulation before he pursued his pilot license. Moreover he has a bachelor’s degree, is full time employed, makes 50,000 USD per year before tax, and spends about 250 USD on software and 200 USD on hardware annually. He prefers X-Plane 11, but Prepar3D v. 4 is also popular.

Explains a lot of things to me.

Just a slight correction to the post which references a statement, that was made a year ago when the results of the 2018 Survey was released in February 2019.

A lot of changes are afoot in the Flightsim Community since 2018 and I think Charl meant to show the latest February 2020 Navigraph Blog for the Flightsim Community Survey 2019 results.

The included Navigraph You Tube channel Flightsim Community Survey 2019 abridged commentary video direct link here Navigraph FlightSim Community Survey 2019 Results.

Or you can browse the full 102 page PDF document here Flightsim Community Survey by Navigraph 2019 Final Results.

You're right!
But I'll leave the 2018 links as they show nothing has changed... except for the elephant in the room: MSFS
It will be great when we once again have a common sim to focus resources on.
