November 23, 201510 yr Hi all if I upgrade from 2.5 to v3. Will I have to re-install my add ons one by one. such as orbx sceneries and my pmdg 737 and Rex etc Is v3 worth splashing out on?
November 23, 201510 yr It's a personal opinion, but I defintely think that V3 is worth the price. And yes I suspect you will have to reinstall your addons. And some you will need to get V3 installers.. But take a look at the many topics that have already been posted on Avsim about upgrading to V3. My system specs: Intel [email protected] - 5.2 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler,1TB Seagate SSD, 4TB Seagate HD, Windows 10, Asus 32 inch monitor, Saitek Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, Rudder Pedals and Trim Wheel Sims: MSFS2020 Preferred Aircraft Black Square Bonanza, and Baron, A2A Comanche, PMDG DC-6, Red Wing L1049

November 23, 201510 yr P3Dv3 has better VAS and FPS, for starts, so that's deferentially a nice bonus. Because v3 wants addons installed outside the root folder, you can link folders from v2 to v3 with the .cfg files, but some addons, like ORBX and PMDG need to be installed in P3Dv3, with updated installers. I've got quite some aircraft and scenery installed in v2, that also appear in v3. Cheers! Maarten
November 23, 201510 yr You must uninstall 2.5 first otherwise you will get loads of errors. Not true, I didn't uninstall 2.5 and in fact still have it, and zero errors installing V3.

November 24, 201510 yr Author Cheers guys. Only reason I asked Wether it was worth it, was i saw a video of a well known u tube person comparing v3 to v2.5 and he did not really get any improvement on VAS and FPS it did utilise his GPU more and that was about it. Which I thought was very dissapointing.

November 24, 201510 yr Love V3, the HDR settings for me was worth it alone, and sure you have your little avatar man as well :smile:
November 24, 201510 yr Yes, being able to adjust the HDR settings is a great feature.
