With the current state of P3D what made you decide to jump in?

for $49.99 ~ £30.00 what's to lose?

That's about 6 beers in €'s

It's a big download (9GB) but it rekindled my enthusisam in FS again.

I would say go for it Howard.

This is a real testimony:

 

Since i use P3D I'm happily married, and my boss no longer laughs at me in the office

Get the downloads through FireFox, not Internet Explorer.....much less problems

 

Believe me

Did you have to prove your educational level etc to qualify or an academic license? Are there any limitations on the academic license?

[Clutch Cargo 384]

Noel, there are no limitations with the academic version. The is a very small watermark that is placed in the top taskbar that in no way interferes with flying, merely for distinction.

 

You do not have to prove you are a student or in some flight school. I merely continue to use my book 'MS Flight Simulator for Pilots Real Word Training', so I can be considered (to myself), I am continuing my aviation training, ha! :rolleyes:

I have been running Prepar3d for a week now after four years of FSX constantly crashing especially during longhaul flights. My enjoyment was really disappearing so I decided to try Prepar3d. Boy what an amazing change!! This is how FSX should have run had Microsoft not decided to abandon it's customers.

 

To date I have had no crashes, silky smooth graphics and tons of fun!

 

All my various addons ported without a hitch with the migrator tool.

 

So goodbye FSX and a big thanks to LM for the great job!

 

If your having instability problems with FSX, this is definately the way to go!

I will say that FSDT JFK seems to cause OOM issues (as with FSX).

I've lowered to LOD to 4.5 but have yet to test this.

[Jude Bradley 659]

LOD 5.5 works fine with FSDT KJFK

The crashes with FSX is the most annoying negative. I did not tweak the FSX aside the most common ones, but even being very conservative does not give me the comfortable feeling that it won't crash somewhere. It looks like 1.4 is mature enough for me to try again.

Only 6 beers? Joke? What kind of expensive country are you living in? Here a beer in a bar is only 50 euro cent (1 leva)...

Here beer in restaurant is easily 6 €. What is expensive, is very relative.
