How I Know P3D 4.0 Is Just Around The Corner

It would be somewhat amusing if P3D v4 releases with ORBx FTX Global base scenery textures :smile:

I'm kinda hoping that LM will re-work/overhaul the lighting engine in P3D v4 ... but we'll see... I'll probably buy FSW also (especially since it's only €24.99)

Best regards,

I am thinking ORBx works side by side with LM to do the texture but ORBx won't give that free with the simulator, we probably have the "lite" version of FTX Global or just some aspect of it.
Anyway it is free of charge to upgrade for current customer.

Id be very surprised if FSW was in the same league as V4. Speculation of course but it seems irrational to me that DTG wold be able to put out a product of the same or nearly the same quality as LM when LM have had a massive head start. Im betting that DTG throw out the baby with the bath water so probably zero backwards compatibility. LM on the other hand seem to see backwards compatible as a major asset. As indeed do I :biggrin:

Prob more the fact that DTG understands that allowing backwards compatibility will be restrictive of DLC sales and therefore ££ and LM just aren't bothered as they are in a different ball game...

that may be so but I would still be of the opinion that LM are in the business of adding features, improving realism both visually and simulation, improving performance and compatibility with modern hardware and maintaining manageable compatibility with existing highend addons which I assume they see as an asset. And that they are doing this for their target market and not us. But coincidentally many of us want the same thing as their target market.

Flight simmers ARE the 'target market'. 

A pretty obvious observation.

No, they make a flight simulator for commercial, academic, and education "simmers" not folks using it for leisure. 

Let me guess.... you want 64bit.

Thanks for a good laugh! I needed cheering up today. That's the funniest thing I've read on Avsim for some time. 🙂

That's why I come here. For comedy gold like that above. :)

 

People need to realize that the Commercial and Military customer's of LM have absolutely no use for V4.

They don't have out of memory errors, don't need a new lighting engine and any other bells and whistles V4 will have.

LM's licencing policy may be a bit vague, but saying we aren't their target market is an incorrect statement IMO.

C'mon guys.  The target market isn't a person or group of people.  The target market is a spirit, man.

Commercial and militairy customers are there primairy target ; we are the beta testers after release of each version/update.

At Schiphol several simulators are running XP , so LM needs to keep on developing to stay at the top. Flightsim evolution....

Do you have any proof to the contrary?

hmmm we are all just speculating either way.. I'd like to see some actual numbers though..

Like how many Academic Licences are sold for every Commercial Licence. 30? 40? If so the numbers would be very equal, and that's not that far fetched. :cool:
