Not only that, but if you request and receive a refund, you forfeit the right to a refund should you later decide to repurchase it...

 

Just a "heads up" for those who don't know this!

Well, I suppose it's too late now but why the heck did you ask for a refund now...??? 

 

It's $60 that will be spent somewhere else.. LM isn't a bank and I'm not letting them sit on my cash no matter how small of an amount for 60 days for software I have no intention of using right now. 

 

I'm aware of that Bill...  B)

I don't understand why you are wasting your money.  In my opinion it is not worth it.  Spending over £300 on a top end graphic card and spending $199 on the professional licence P3D.  So you have already spent approximately over £450 and then you have to buy the rest of the addon's, I just don't see the logic, while you have already invested a lot of money on the FSX.  Now people are getting refunds and going back to FSX.

 

No need to give yourself headache and stress.  Spend your money wisely.

I'm not going back to FSX.. I'm going to continue to use my Prepar3D 1.4 license..   I don't want to stick around and "help development" of a global Aerospace company. They're big boys.. They can handle it themselves.. 

 

First suggestion I would make to them is ditch every beta tester they had. 

Well for me its about the future and supporting lm as somewhere down the track p3d could be awesome something that fsx will never achieve if i have to spend some money to be part of that so be it

I did. I bought a license for P3D. ^_^ And most addons I used in FSX will work (now or later) in P3D. There is no 'logic' anyway in spending money on a hobby. If there had to be 'logic' no one would have a hobby.

Amazing how someone can complain about 60 to participate and enjoy the development of a sim that is actually being supported and has huge potential plus we can use our fsx addins, may have some issues now but they will be fixed, im used to spending 300 an hour hiring a twin lol so the money i spend on hobby is marginal, a combination of both does explain why im broke lol

I didn't spent $60 to participate in anything. I paid $60 for what was supposed to be a properly beta tested flight training tool. It's far from it.. I for two days looked at it with rose colored glasses pretending this thing was a-ok.. Fact  is, it is far from it...

I respect your opinion and view, but :-

 

• if you are a serious simmer, hugely into this hobby, and;
• you have a half decent Graphics Card with at least 2GB, and;
• you have taken the time to follow these threads and apply the temporary fixes, and
• you have actually bought and tried this platform, then;

 

........you will never look back.

 

Ask Brian Doney to show you the screenshot of the Airbus X Extended VC, with max AA/AF, high quality shadows.... oh and 84 FPS, (that's not a typo, that's 84 FPS),  that he's just showed me in a PM, and you'll see why some (not all) of us are so excited.

 

Cheers.

Froogle has a way with words, and he pretty much answered all my questions!

 

 

I didn't learn any more about P3d2 than I would have from reading a few key posts on AVSim. Froogle somehow gets away with saying that 64 bit is "better" than 32 bit, without justifying why this is so. He makes some odd statements about P3d2 and whether it is "multicore aware".  This is hardly a journalistic approach.

 

Honestly, I have no idea what people see in his blog or reviews, other than he seems like a glib fellow.

This is hardly a journalistic approach.

 

Correct .... it's called "froogleism"

 I envy those enjoying new sim without facing any problem. I am a big supporter of Prepar3d and I've been using previous version for a long time. I can't simply get v2 to work. It's giving me too many fatal errors and I've tried every trick known.  

 

Considering lack of support (yes, with all due respect there's virtually no support at official forum), I am going back to v1.4 . I'll try it again when they release the first service pack. 

Maybe you had a bad / corrupted download? Sounds like some files are missing, as you've got a more than capable pc.

Possible. But, I've downloaded the install package 5 times already at 2 different PCs. At my last try, I've downloaded all components separately but nothing changed. Unless, the original package itself corrupted, I don't know what else I can do.

Did you update / install all drivers for hardware on your system, like motherboard chipset and graphics drivers? Also, I see you run Windows 8. Did you run the installer as administrator? I always disable "User Account Control" settings within control panel.

 

Just thinking broadly trying to help you. My gut tells me your fatal error may be operating system related, like drivers, or some setting. If you are running the graphics driver that came with your graphics card on your original setup cd, maybe you can download and install the latest driver available on www.nvidia.com. I believe it's version 331.82.

 

Yes, I agree, the probability that you had 5 corrupted downloads is near to zero.
