Wow - I was so wrong...

Word Not Allowed, one small difference that could also impact performance is your global texture resolution. Very High in FSX equates to 1024x1024Max in Prepar3D is 4096x4096 which is 16x the texture size

Thanks everyone, I'll keep looking. Right now waiting for the updates of some very important entry addons for me, so that I can normally fly - first prerequisites - FSUIPC, FSForce, EZCA - without these addons I don't even think of loading the sim, except for testing purposes. After that, we'll just see... Thanks wbard, but I think I said more than once, maybe not on this thread: I use 4096 in both sims, FSX being set through fsx.cfg. And even if I had it different, it has no impact whatsoever on default scenery. Same FPS down to the number.

Well, if no-one talks to these folks (apart from Pete Dowson - he is already supporting Prepar3D), it won't happen..... We try to do our best to reach out to as many developers as possible, but our team resources can only stretch so far. So if there are favourite apps that people need, then as a wise profit once said "Git 'er done!" and reach out to them as well. :-)

I'm already in contact with the developer of FSForce, I wrote on the forum for EZCA, people are gathering... we're gonna get these people moving! Developer of Shade has also been contacted, he said he is gonna look into it too! I'm definitely doing it! But also need support from everyone else. I hardly doubt everyone is gonna make new installers for me.

Doing my bit wherever I can.

Hi John, We are the right people to get it done. Lots of underground messages going out and coming in back doors of developers all over the flight simulation planet, so to speak. You already have many of the right people on board here to make wierd and wonderful things happen! It will take a bit of time, but you will see a landslide when it becomes plain that P3D is the best way forward. Kind regards,

Hi Guys, As someone that has been involved with the community for well over 15 years (including being a member of Avsim in another guise - mainly lurking, not posting much!), I know that this is part of the grass roots of the passion and a big reason why I want to engage with you all. We WANT to engage with the community and be as open as we can because the team is just as passionate about the product as you are. Having a strong and vibrant development and user community is important to push the boundaries of the product and make it even better. If we are collaborative, we can concentrate on building the core product and let others worry about the majority of the cool widgets. (We will still make cool widgets though!) Thank you for reaching out to the developers that we haven't been able to engage with yet. The great thing is that there are so many! The bad thing for my calendar and meeting planning is that there are so many! For those that are out there, feel free to send me a note at the Prepar3D website, or post your questions as well if there is anything we can do to assist. Thanks again! Regards,John NicolPrepar3D P.S. Word Not Allowed, I will make a special installer just for you..... just bring a few thousand friends!

Hi, Trying to purchase, but it keeps denying my credit card, I even called the card company and they said the problem is not on their end.

Go with this directly to John Nicol, I don't know if he's only for the forums and support, but he's the main guy around.

Thanks, Kos; downloading the Demo from OrbX,as I write. You did a nice piece of work there, young feller. OrbX is right up front with this, and, having enjoyed all of their North American products in FSX - it's the only place I fly - I will be one of the first (along with you guys) to convert. I don't think this will be like the change from FS9 to FSX somehow.... It begs the question, though - what do we do with "MS Flight"?

Kosta. Ty ;-) It's gonna a performance change, something we've been waiting for for a long time.

Buy it and enjoy it alongside P3D and get the best of both worlds. Use one as a GA sim and another for big iron. One doesn't exclude the other. I imagine I will be flying FSX and X-Plane 10 for years to come as well.

Did you answer "Yes" to the question "Are you intending to use this product for entertainment purposes?"

wait until it's born and put it in a floating baby carriage and send it downstream to the next village...
