Hey guys,

I haven´t flown for quite a long time now (was very active in here before my break, maybe some know me from back then) and try to start flying again. First attempts to fire up my massive 60 GB FSX installation failed greatly, it somehow stopped wirking upon loading the flight with the RealAir Lancair over Friday Harbour.

 

FSX is now about 7 years old, maybe it´s time to retire that and switch to Lockheed Prepared. So far from which I understand this is basicly FSX with an new UI and bug fixes being backwards capable to all FSX addons (would be verry important to me as I´ve spend a lot of money in addon). Is that correct??

 

The seond question is where do I get it? Only on their homepage? I´ve got an somehow slow internet connection, so downloading 10+ GB is pretty much a no go (I remember FSX was 16GB when I installed it from the disc.).

 

And if, which license in the correct one?

 

If someone could answer these questions, I´d be verry happy. :-)

There are a lot of recent threads on the pros and cons of P3D already, for which  you might want to Google search.  For example:

Prepar3d isn't exactly fsx, is ESP which is the underlying code of fsx. 99% of fsx addons are compatible with prepar3d, licensing issues are what stops a lot of people. As suggested check out the link above.

You could make yourself sick reading all the different threads on this subject as related to the licensing. Download is the only way to receive the product. Many people feel they qualify for the academic license and, to my knowledge, LM has not refused a sale.

I've tried P3D, but what is stopping me from moving over, is that the RXP gauges are not supported... This may, or may not matter to you..

From what I've read around the web, it seems there is no official support for RXP gauges to be found, for FSX, much less P3D?

 

Of course, there are good hearted users who provide unofficial support, right Bert?

:rolleyes:

 

Let me be more specific... the RXP gauges do not work at all in P3D,  which is a bigger problem..
