Well one link is to the P3D site.. Maybe P3Dv6 ?   or 7 .. Anything to compete with MSFS? But that might be a lost cause..

But an even more interesting link is to this page: 

Site LINK: https://flightsimassociation.com/

The site is now open.....
It‘s FSA - the Flightsim association......a real big slogan, but not the BIG thing.

On AVSIM there were lots of speculations what it could be the last two days.....tons of speculations.
Now knowing thevtruth about it.....lots of people are disapointed, that it isn‘t that big as expected.

$30 annual membership fee. For discounts to products?

Sorry, I think I'll pass.

Yes, I was thinking the same.....and the discounts are very small.

I don‘t see the benefits I‘d get the advertised webinars, manuals etc.

May be FSA grows with time and has to offer something more.....but at the moment I‘ll pass, too.

A BIG announcement from LM for P3D - but nothing behind it.
Presumably, many users, including myself, expected a real sensation in the form of landscape improvements or something like that.
Now the soap bubble burst: A simple discount shop will be opened with offers that are not to be taken seriously!
This is like making a monkey of us.
Is this an attempt to possibly force sales figures for payware addons?
New many new young game players discovered this simulator for themselves.
One problem now seems to be the mass supply of freeware, which is flooding the market almost every day. Often, however, these are only minimal "enhancements" - a few objects added here and there - that are produced en masse by committed MSFS users.
The extent to which this affects the payware add-on companies can only be assessed speculatively at the moment.

A first payware provider, namely "Verticalsim Studios," said goodbye to MSFS, at least for the time being.
Many greetings
Dieter

Big disappointment was coming.

I really expected something substantial that would enhance P3D and XP visuals so there is at least some competition to MSFS.

That's what I thought for a second too Karl. Like "Super P3Dv6 HD - in DirectX 13" lol. but no, all the hype was for nada.  (But then once there is a few half descent aircraft in MSFS it will be fine. Like that C172 Analogue gauges is my fav so far of the stocks.  (Not fond of the glass cockpit) but hopefully a couple of 3rd party will help out- A big piece is MSFS/Asobo inability to provide a SDK but again over time that will come..
