General Prepar3d questions

Featured Replies

I have been following p3d for awhile and have a few general questions.

1. Does it have the ability to do free flight hate to use this example but pick an airport to start and fly to another destination like in fsx for virtual airline purposes? IF so what license offers that?

2. Can it support 2 video cards? i saw it is directx 11 compatiable?

 

Thanks for the help

This is "as far as I know" as I don't yet have P3D:

 

1. Yes, any license will let you do that.

 

2. You can use 2 video cards although it does not take advantage of SLi/CrossFire yet, although it is planned in a near-future patch. It is only compatible with DirectX 11, so any video cards that do not support DX11 will not run P3D at all.

Any type of flying you can do now in FS9 or FSX is possible in Prepar3D v1.4 or v2.0.

 

It can support as many video cards as you have slots for. It is only DX11 compatible!
