November 25, 201312 yr I think its more of a generalized post even though it is not FS9 related... More to say to the many of us who don't use or gave up on FSX and returned to old faithful that when the time comes to upgrade or change sims that P3Dv2 will be the way to go bypassing and skipping FSX altogether. I for one will probably head that way when the wife gives me approval for an upgrade lol, especially after the PMDG announcement... But for now until everything is completely up an running in P3D (addon airports, AES etc) Im sticking to FS9
November 25, 201312 yr FS9 still has some miles left before I retire it! And even then I will not throw it out but keep it around for nostalgic reasons. Heck, I have used it daily for a decade ... Sascha Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
November 25, 201312 yr FS9 is still going strong for me. But I've been feeling the itch for an upgrade lately. Next year may be the year for a new system if I can manage the finances properly. I will most likely be bypassing FSX if the addons become more widely available for P3D.
November 25, 201312 yr Yes no doubt there will be a flood of good payware for v2. A little surprising that it is still 32 bit, if one is to leave FS9, then surely it must be to a future-proof platform? Like many I will wait to hear that making the jump will not repeat the FSX experience in any way...
November 25, 201312 yr I'll give it a year before I even think about it. My FS9 and FSX runs just fine for now so no rush here. Bert dela Merced
November 26, 201312 yr I was supposed to get a new computer this past September but didn't (had to pay for something un-expectedly). So when I finally do get a new computer I just might get P3D 2.0. I have a GeForce GTX 275 graphic card now and I don't think that card will be good enough for P3D 2.0.
November 26, 201312 yr Author I have a GeForce GTX 275 graphic card now and I don't think that card will be good enough for P3D 2.0. Thats right. The GTX275 is not DX11 capable.
November 26, 201312 yr especially after the PMDG announcement Very interesting in this context: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/427010-multi-platform-pricing-policy-expectations-fsxp3dxplane/ Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
December 1, 201312 yr Maybe wait for V3.0? You'll be waiting for a while, P3D is being developed by people who actually care about the FS community. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
December 1, 201312 yr You'll be waiting for a while, P3D is being developed by people who actually care about the FS community. LM could care less about the FS community. They are in the business to provide a simulator platform to their clients and to make as much $$ as possible for their stockholders. They could pull their support at a moments notice and you'll be holding an empty bag with nothing to fill it with.
December 1, 201312 yr LM could care less about the FS community. They are in the business to provide a simulator platform to their clients and to make as much $$ as possible for their stockholders. They could pull their support at a moments notice and you'll be holding an empty bag with nothing to fill it with. You must remember that LM is actively listening and working with the FS community to enhance the sim further. We are their best resource of what is and is not working. We get a sim which can be used for simulation of flight while they get a phenomenal product which they can sell to training programs. Win-Win in my book. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck.
