Am I the only one using P3D that just wants to log flight hours and don't give a hoot about all this technical jive stuff? Load plane, enter flight plan takeoff, fly and land. Im happy.

With respect to LM but honestly I would say that the user interface of P3D is very UGLY and something is still wrong with this sim.

I think that's the goal.

 

Unfortunately, in my case, if I don't worry about (or at least manage) the technical jive stuff, I don't get theah from heah...

 

But yes - I dream of a world without tweaks and narrow tolerances and system management.

 

The good news is that P3D2, at least in my case, is better in that respect than FSX.

 

If your mileage varied, I wouldn't be surprised at all...  B)

As with everything, your mileage may vary is always the case!  FSX is simply 'load and fly' for me.  I haven't spent any time tweaking it in a long, long while.  The time I've spent in P3D since the patch has proven to be quite similar... as long as I resist the temptation to make it just-a-wee-bit-nicer-looking.  ^_^

 

At this point, the only thing stopping my P3D from being fly n' forget just like my FSX install is a lack of native planes. One of my hopes is that LM gets the platform stable enough that the 3rd party developers will stop testing patches and start releasing some stuff to fly!!

Its quite easy to top the GPU and the CPU with P3D if you're not carefull about your sliders ...........

 

.......... So you have to determine what of the multiple choice of graphics setting you want to keep considering your system. 

 

The trouble is, that very simple piece of common sense is obviously way too hard for a lot of the kiddies in here to grasp. Either that, or they just like to whine incessantly for the sake of it?

Just so everyone knows: I clicked on the Keeping My Eyes On This! icon beneath that post only because that would make the row of icons complete: I just thought it would be nice to see a post getting all icons for once. Looks nice, doesn't it? Must be a record. 

 

Or: how much TIME was spend on for instance the F-22 before it was 'bug free'...? The time spend on P3D (from the moment they started working on it, not since the release of v2) is utter peanuts compared to the time spend on getting the F-22 to work right. You should have heard the testing crews complaining for years, if not decades... :rolleyes:

 

I am not telling this for you only J van E but I do not know why people make example like that.

 

This not about how much time to spend on P3D and compare to other product like F-22 F-22 was test with test pilot and when ready was use for all pilot in air force F-22 was not tested with test pilot and at same time use by pilot in air force.

 

Can imagine pilot calling base and say my fuel is leaking on my F-22 I do not know if I can land at airport and base telling him we working on it just hang there it is a computer problem now slow down plane.

 

Will air force buy plane like that and if they do and find problem like that they will stop plane from flying until problem is fix.

 

LM do have test people for P3D and P3D maybe release when ready with small bugs but not with memory leak people buying P3D are not test pilot for LM so why LM selling P3D when not ready for flying.

 

I read post here on Avsim and all the same people testing for solution for lot of problem or not happy with P3D because P3D do not work good so why LM do not wait a release P3D when working good maybe with small bug like other product.

 

Big problem are with P3D not small problem why other people telling not happy people P3D is ok if P3D do not work and LM stop P3D is because LM can not make P3D work good not because of not happy people.

 

If people want to wait maybe 5 year and maybe less before P3D work good and LM is ok working on P3D for 5 year again is ok with me and I buy again in 5 year if nothing better but now P3D is not good for me and other people can say here if not happy with P3D.

I think it probably is a record for a single post. I note also the usual suspects members who selected 'negative' icons.

 

I received an email from Wes Bard early this morning that said that they will probably be releasing the "hot fix" a few others and I tested for them sometime today.

 

I've noted a slight performance increase from this, but more importantly the error reporting system is no longer consuming VAS like a kid with a huge bag of M&Ms...  :He He:
