August 13, 201312 yr Using Shade for FSX can fix that. It will make the shadows darker, much nicer in my opinion. If I understand it correctly Shade influences the light and shadows of the environment and terrain only; it doesn't add or subtract anything in terms of autogen or cockpit shadows. So from the VC, you'll still lack any contrast between light and dark as the sun moves around your cockpit and fails to produce shadows at the bottom of your dials, and the feeling of being in a 2D world will still be there. If DX11 in P3D brings shadows and more stable performance at higher resolutions, I'll jump ship in a heartbeat. If I have the money that is... i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
August 13, 201312 yr If DX11 in P3D brings shadows and more stable performance at higher resolutions, Is DX11 confirmed to be included on the next update? It will definitely be interesting to see what "the other platform" will bring with DX11. Interesting indeed!!

August 14, 201312 yr dx11 will be included in Prepar3D 2.0 It should be good but we'll have to wait and see if it's worth upgrading to. If it is successful Flight1 will have to change its policies or lose out to a potentially large market. Charging 2x the price for a product because it's P3D will not cut it with the punters.

August 15, 201312 yr Charging 2x the price for a product because it's P3D will not cut it with the punters. Dave, am I reading right? Is P3D thinking of charging for v2 upgrade?

August 15, 201312 yr Dave, am I reading right? Is P3D thinking of charging for v2 upgrade? Carlos It's going to be a huge upgrade. They're basicallly creating a new platform, with independent scenery, FDM, intruments, components for the future intergration of complex products. I'd say you're paying just like we paid to upgrade from xp9 to xp10, and one of these days to xp11.... Not being 64 bit isn't really a problem as far as I'm concerned. The P3D we already have is stable and performs perfectly with even highly detailled add-ons, provided you don't fill it with zillions of scenery add-ons, AI traffic, etc... But even in X-Plane10, if you ask for 10 AI aircraft and use OSM-based scenery at crowded cities, the fps will drop to single digits easily :-/ Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Ahh, I see, so in a way its not really an upgrade but complete new version. Well in that case it does make sense. I'll keep a eye on all the feedback once v2 is released. thx jcomm.

Carlos Hi Carlos, no I was actually referring to Flight1's policy of (for example) the iFly 737NG: http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=iflyfsx http://www.flight1tech.com/Products/AircraftSimulations/737NGforPrepar3D.aspx FSX= $54.95 P3D= $79.95 Exactly the same product. (hiss, boo etc)

August 16, 201312 yr they also had a limited time upgrade price(for FS9/FSX buyers) several months ago for $19.99 or $29.99 for the IFLY P3D version. Exactly my point Five, asking people to cough up when most other developers provide compatibility at no extra cost. I think that fact that PMDG will not make the NGX for P3D (even though it works anyway) that it was seen as a nice potential earner. Anyway off-topic!!
