P3D V2 Straw Poll

[simon747 185]

Prepar3d v2.0 is much better.  Not gone back to FSX.   Been using that and Aerosoft Airbus X Extended with it.  Plus all my FSX add-ons for the most part.  Once and awhile I get an oom message; 15-20% of flights,  it warns you at least.  You can save game and come back.  Hope they get the water fixed stat and the get invidia inspector to work properly sometime soonish if they can  Miss some decent AA.

FSX reinstalled and P3Dv2 binned, having given it one more (long) go today. LM and 3rd party devs have much to do to make this truly viable, and its going to need some take up to make it worthwhile for all concerned.

 

At this point I can get FSX looking (building and cockpit shadows aside) and running better, with greater stability and all the addons I want, so its a no brainer. I'm well beyond the myth of the need for constant tweaking with FSX - I use four cfg entries, and the tweaking is done and dusted.

 

I will keep an eye on development, but I am not obsessed with having a 'new' platform, that in reality changes very-very little; scenery, environment and aircraft are not going to look much, if any, different under P3D.. a revolution it ain’t sadly, which is very dissapointing.

95% P3D 2.0. I jump into FSX for comparisons. They are equally as smooth and FSX works with more add-on aircraft, but P3D is so visually appealing to me, I can deal with its bugs. Firing up FSX cause me to instantly miss the DX11 features in P3D...and it's a no brainer for me too.

fsx until the pmdg 777 issue is sorted.. and I have some leave in January to spend a week reinstalling everything all over again

I have been able to get the Duke 60 running good on P3D and will be getting rid of FSX when the next Patch or two comes along for P3D. Looks like it is the thing to go with.

[Jimmy RFR 406]

98% FSX, 2% P3Dv2.

 

I was initially thinking that I'd be able to make the switch, but no.  For me to be able to convert I require 100% compatible add-ons, not just add-ons which natively point to the P3Dv2 file system.

 

When FTX Global becomes 100% compatible (no white boxes, no texture issues), the percentages will likely change.  And as the FTX regions become native to P3Dv2, and the various FTX Global landclass and vector add-ons become available, I'll likely be able to reassess which my primary platform will be.

 

That said, I do think P3Dv2 will be the future.  I just think it's not quite there yet.

I'll never have a single Flight Simulator -- if that's what you mean by "sole"?

 

First: P3DV2

Second: FSX

Third: XP10

 

As more 3rd support and updates for existing products becomes available and LM release updates to P3DV2, FSX will probably move from 2nd spot to 3rd spot.

Would like to use P3D but I need to call the exterminator and spray my PC.

 

 

Gave up trying till they fix/kill some bugs.

Will always keep both sims going (both are running smoothly for me now)

 

P3DV2 - for GA flying (now using 90% of time but will be 100% when ASN P3D comes out)

FSX with DX10 Scenery Fixer -  I will keep using for airline flying at least until 64-bit P3D released. Only then I may be tempted to pay the likely-to-be higher prices for 2nd copies of quality airliner, P3D-dedicated versions)

P3DV2 100% like I said I uninstalled FSX long ago and never looked back.

Was "sim less" until P3DV2 released.
Yea i have prob over $300 in incompatible addons from FSX sitting on a hard drive,

but sometimes you gotta sacrafice for the next best thing.

True since all the addons will have to be redone once 64bit comes. I don't see a point in buying the PMDG 777 3 times.

[Warmbrak 5]

P3D v2 as my primary GA sim.

[Clutch Cargo 384]

Been using P3D  since the day it came out and haven't look back.

[kevinc5 15]

Not yet. I'm still getting random black screens and click spots have never worked.

FSX, P3D v1, P3D v2 ..... why give up something what's quite good and there's plenty of space on PCs nowadays?
