Well, I've read you post too fast, I thought $10 upgrade price if you own the FSX version...

$10 off isn't the kind of deal that makes me taking out my credit card... ;-)

 

I know, and I feel your pain! At least it's something I guess...

Thanks for the comments guys.

I agree the up grade price was not really much of an upgrade, but every business has their own ways of injecting their approach to the P3D platform.  That being said, I have not had a chance to take take her on a long flight within the ORBX regions, which I am sure may prove to be taxiing on one's system.  I am only running an i7 2700k stock with a 2gig NVidia GTX 670 adn 16 gig of ram.  I tend to stand by NickN's guide for performance guidance.  I did however notice that I was running low on VAS after doing a few touch and goes at Orcas Island (my settings are set in conjunction with my systems).

Will do some more testing on my days off.

@Brendan, we need to get some flying in   Its been a while

Am having great fun with your Q8-400 at the moment. Will be interested to read of your experiences with the F1 B200 specially in Orbx areas. If this beats the Q8, then I will sit up and take notice.

The Q4 handles this region for me much better and I rarely experience OOM issues, unless I am doing a photoshoot and almost everything is maxed out.  Personally I think one of the keys to enjoying the KA B200 is to ensure that textures are set to 1024 in the cfg.  I have not noticed too much of an impact with REX running, but then again I did not have any clouds in the sky with the images posted.  Personally I prefer the KA in FSX, and I not fully sold on the P3D version, but time will tell.  The ground friction issue within FSX and P3D is an annoyance as one has to apply too much break away power to get the aircraft going.

Its like this Rick, I'm rocking P3D V 2.5...5.0 pumped with ASN 5589 injecting REX Textures....1210 boasting a full Orbtx Suite (even freeware :o ) All topped off with strong coffee, sticky toffee tarts, oversized Ray Bans and pure poppet awesomeness.

 

I almost thought I was reading a Sesquashtoo (Mitch) response, lol.

Thanks, Simeon. That is the objective feedback I was looking for. Like you I have not had any OOM issues using either your company's Q8-400 or any of the P3D-rated PMDG aircraft, but I am not maxed out. I already have enough props in my hangar. Do not really need another one, not at $60, or even less. The Q8-400 was a beast to master but that has been the best part of it. Cannot seem to put it away. Once I get the total hand of the Control Panel, I'll be in Nirvana!

Mitch is just another one of my personalities, he is the evil one:)

 

 

It's been a while since I have posted a shot, dont get to play as much as I used to.  Lets see if I still remember how to.

 

Lovely shots there! I picked up the B200 myself just the other day.

By the way.....

Neil,

You need to have that cough looked before you get a bronchial infection which will render you unable to do your YouTube episode of the Q400 PRO .

The Q4 is coming along nicely still working on the HUD, and should be pushing a new beta hopefully in the near future.  There are a few more issues to address from that point on ....but the light at the end of the tunnel should be closer.

Great videos by the way (very informative)...keep up the good work

Simeon, will there be an Upgrade path to the PRO for current owners, vis a viz, an incentive, such as coupon off, etc?

 

 

ill render you unable to do your YouTube episode of the Q400 PRO

 

 

Oooow, I'll watch that one for sure ... great shots Simeon and excellent choice of location.

 

Cheers, Rob.

All vendors will have a upgrade policy in place for owners of the PILOT Edition - which should be in the range of about $25.00, for the PILOT to PRO

Oooow, I'll watch that one for sure ... great shots Simeon and excellent choice of location.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Thanks Rob.....taking a mental break, and enjoying my love of Turbo-props

Thanks very much Simeon, that means a lot! There are very few reasons why I wouldn't do a Q400 Pro video (even bronchitis couldn't stop me ). I'm already planning a Pilot version, but murphy's law dictactes that as soon as I finish it, you guys will release the Pro version! So, I'll hold off for a while.

 

uh-oh hang on...
