I will LOL like crazy if the first P3D v3 OOM thread appears on the same day Then I will cry

 

Hilarious and horrific in equal measure for sure :smile:

Edge is written by the company that created Windows Exploder, what did you expect?  Get Chrome, and you will never use anything else.   :wink:

Chrome works well, in fact it's good until you spend several hours downloading a program and chrome decides its dangerous and deletes it without giving a reason! Then what do you do ? why use Explorer of course.

No use Seamonkey, a very nice browser and email client, like Firefox before they ruined the UI

That's exactly what I am using now. So MS lost me as a Browser "customer".

I actually quite like Edge. It is quite resource lite, better than Firefox & Chrome.(for me, anyway). As for the comment that Edge is written by the company that created Windows Exploder Explorer, so is Windows 10, & it's on over 75 million devices at the moment.

 

No-one really expected P3D's forthcoming update/upgrade to be DX12 or 64bit anyway. Speculation only.

IF it is going to be a v2.6, then obviously it will be free as an update.

If we get a v3, then obviously it just might cost us to upgrade!

 

Mmmm, actually, a 64bit & Dx12 release could be quite entertaining, as there have been indications that a 64bit release could be problematic with 32bit add-ons & compatibility issues, & DX12 will obviously have to run in Windows 10, with suitable graphics cards. We know that there are die-hards still with Windows XP(?) & Windows 7!So, will that happen soon? an April 1st release?

Hi,

 

you probably did not try to import and manage a huge collection of bookmarks in different subfolders. 

 

Kind regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

 

No, not really. I had all my bookmarks on Chrome & Firefox. I am also using K-Meleon as well, as it also has a small footprint.

 

I stated to use Edge just after my Windows 10 upgrade, as I found it quicker than Chrome & Firefox, especially when starting up. So, I'm using it as my primary browser & slowly adding bookmarks as required. I found that I was not really using a lot of my previous bookmarks, & I I really want them, I can add them or use Chrome or Firefox.

 I also found that too many add-ons in the browsers slowed them down.

I'm using an i5 4GB Windows 10 64bit laptop,& I'm finding the 'new' look quite refreshing.

 

Cheers,

Robin

I only ran Edge once after installing W10: to download Firefox. :wink:

Granted, Edge was the minor disappointment of the two as I can do without ist. However, having to wait for any DX12 enabled Flightsim for another 1-2 years, if any, as it looks now, is pretty dull given the improvements I've read about.

 

Kind regards, Michael

the improvements I've read about.

What improvements have you read about that actually have been demonstrated by actual products?

75 million out of 1.5 Billion windows users,  pretty small percentage. 

Ed,

 

there are no actual products available, as we all know (up to maybe 1 or two I've overlooked). I referred to articles like this one:

 

http://www.pcgamer.com/what-directx-12-means-for-gamers-and-developers/

 

But I am all but a hardware guru, well possible this is all Voodoo, We'll see.

 

Kind regards, Michael

 

 

 

Thus far what I've seen is that Dx9/10 games will see significant improvement. Dx11 games will see minor improvement.

 

It's not that Dx12 is a bad direction to go, as it does indeed provide some serious advantages over prior versions of DirectX... however, the performance increases are based more on how old the game's current DirectX methodology is more than anything else.

 

I don't expect Prepar3D to see a massive shift in performance when moving to DirectX 12.

That's an argument,

 

I still dream of getting the transparent ATC window back with DX12. You never know ... it might happen.

 

Kind regards, Michael

That's not bound to DX12
