Hi guys so i am stuck as to wether i should install fsx steam and addons or wait for p3d 64bit but the question also arises will they make all my addons compatible with p3d 64bit?

 

Fsx as for now tweaked is perfectly running fine

 

Any advise is appreciated

 

Thanks

Do you want simulated flight or would you rather tinker with new installations that will, in the short term, deliver the same experience, give or take a few addons? And I realize that for many here, tinkering does seem to be the point of all of this.

 

If your current FSX installation is delivering what you want, then stick with it until something that's actually and demonstrably better arrives. But that's just what I think...

With FSX: Steam at $5 on sale I would suggest purchasing if you want FSX with multiplayer or if you don't already own it. You could still get Prepar3D later.

You could wait, but for $5, you could install FSX-SE now and enjoy using it now while we wait for a 64 bit P3D.

 

I have no idea, but I don't think we will see a 64 bit P3D for at least another year (and maybe even longer).

 

P3D 32 bit addons  will not be compatible when a 64 bit P3D comes out, so if the choice is between FSX SE or waiting, I would get FSX SE and have fun using it

There's the answer!

It's Five Bucks man, buy it.

Thanks for the input guys

 

Guess ill be staying with fsx

 

i dunno im still leaning over to try p3d

 

 

Its not the money but paying just to use multiplayer is stupid i am currently on vatsim anyways

Its not just multi player. There are a lot of reports on better performance especially OOMS with no tweaking

You dont know even if there will be a P3d 64bit or if current add ons would be compatible. If they are I will be straight there faster than a dog shot in the arse and put my $5 down to a bad financial decision  :rolleyes:

Is there even a release date for P3d 64bit?

$5 dollars wasted, is still $5 wasted..

 

If you want something new to play with, by all means, go for it!

 

If you have a well running FSX install, why screw it all up?

Good guess but probably more like 2 years would be my guess and even then developers would have to make the 64bit compatible products and we know how long that takes so we are talking some serious time before seeing a P3D 64bit version main stream

Buying FSX SE does not screw up your FSX install. I am going to run them side by side to see what the difference is. $5 is less than most spend on a cup of coffee that ends up down stream later. I think it is worth a look. FSDT's addons all will work with no fuss. I am sure others will follow.

Yeah and by that time we will have 128 bit operating systems.  :blink:

P3D 64 Bit obviously.

I hope that there is still a push to get true SLI support for P3D.  That is more important to me than 64 bit.

And fsx will still be 32 bit, right?
