windows 10 & P3D

[gooo 0]

Hello everyone,

 

As per topic, I'm buying a new pc to run P3D, pmdg737, REX and few scenarios. The specs for the pc are:

 

• CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3,5 GHz (Haswell-E) Socket 2011v3 - Boxato
• PSU: Corsair Professional Platinum Series AX1200I PSU - 1200 Watt
• Motherboard: Asus Rampage V Extreme, Intel X99 Mainboard, - Socket 2011v3
• GPU: 1x GeForce GTX 980 Ti, 6Gb DDR5
• Memoria: Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 PC4-21300, 2.666 MHz, C16 - Kit 16GB (4x 4GB)
• Storage:
  1x OCZ Vector 180 SATA III SSD 2.5 - 1T.

Do you guys recommend window 10 for this?

Also, will P3D the right choice to run the 737?

 

Thanks all for the help

Hello everyone,

 

As per topic, I'm buying a new pc to run P3D, pmdg737, REX and few scenarios. The specs for the pc are:

Could do a little better on the RAM and the processor (mainly to the point of diminishing returns, I think), but otherwise you should be just fine. FSX/P3D won't really take much advantage of the 980Ti since it's more processor dependent anyway.

 

I use Win10 on my new build, and as long as you install the simulator outside of the Program Files directory, you should be just fine.

 

Also, will P3D the right choice to run the 737?

 

If you have the P3D version of the 737, then P3D will be the right choice. If not, FSX/FSX:SE only.

Hello, and thanks for the reply. Can you please explain what does it means: as long you install the sim outside the Program Files directory?

When you go to install FSX/FSX:SE/P3D, do not let it install in its default location. Tell it to install in any other location. As an example C:\FSX, C:\P3D, or similar. As long as it's not C:\Program Files (x86)\ you should be fine.

Ok, that is clear now. So can you please confirm that I need just to buy P3d v.3, and I follow your instruction to install it, then pmdg 737 ( P3D version ), and rex 4 with some scenarios with winds 10 and I shouldn't have any problem?

Correct. When you buy and download the P3D version of the NGX, it will have a file called "P3D Users Read This" (or something along those lines). Make sure to read it, as it will have you install some additional important files to get things working.

Kyle thank you so much...really last question will you recommend P3D or FSX?

...Also, the on the pmdg page  it says that is compatible with v 2.4 and v 3.x so I guess that the link with common mistakes was before they released the v3?

P3D or FSX is up to you based on which you see as a best fit for yourself. Have a look at their licensing options to see which one is best for your specific application.

 

...and no. The common mistakes are for V3, mainly.
