It's smaller than I thought, and barely noticable :)

Thanks,

Additional thoughts with a day or two under my belt...

 

1. The photo scenery I use (Sim Savvy) seems to be a lot sharper. Really detailed.

 

2. I have had quite a few crashes, but so far they are either during loading or exiting. I was making setting changes, so once the changes stop hopefully the crashes will too.

 

3. Performance is mixed. Sometimes things are silky smooth, sometimes not. I am not sure where the stutters are coming from, but sometimes they show up and it is hard to sort out. Still investigating.

 

BTW, I completely removed FSX from my PC, and have reinstalled the add-ons I want to use. I am doing a minimal add-on approach, mainly just installing some airports (FSDT) and Aircraft. Leaving AI and Weather off the table for now, in case I want to reinstall FSX and do a side-by-side comparison.

 

If I had to make a call right now, I would say on my system FSX was a better performer, considering how many add-ons I had. FSX was also far more stable. But the scenery visuals are much nicer in P3D.

 

But again, I am not done with my tweaking, so this could change. I sure hope it does!
