Remember that FSX DX10 performs better than other modes because it kills off anti-aliasing, doesn't load all textures, and isn't quite running on the level of FSX DX9 and P3D

The critical issue is that P3D as the successor to FSX has a potential to improve on most of the bugs and limitations in the original.

As of now it looks as LM has solved some bugs and introduced others. But it will be interesting to see where it goes, although I'm afraid much of the development will be in areas not interesting to me as a solo flight simmer.

Thanks, I didn't know that, but lack of AA is of corse evident.

Nice blog about benchmarking FSX versus P3D (version 1.2) here:
