So, here is your chance to make a difference to our sim!

 

(Maybe Rob Aiscough will abandon his retirement plans to join LM  )

He'll even get support in relocating!

 

And yes, while I bought XP11 I'll stay with P3D as my main sim, too. Not only because of the 1000's of Euros I invested into it including some stellar ORBX sceneries I am in love with, but also as I still prefer its overall visual impression,

 

Kind regards, Michael

Incredible how all those XP pilots keep visiting this P3D forum.

Why would that be ... ?

 

Just kidding

 

:LMAO:

 

As for the op thanks for sharing great news :-)

That's great,to bad i just made my move to X-plane, and i love it  :smile:

 

Lots of  luck with that sad looking simulator. 

XP is a sad looking sim compared to P3D. Like lipstick on a pig in my opinion. Every Time a new version of XP comes out, the claims that it is better than sliced bread start popping up, and they still wind up with a microscopic market share once the dust settles, and then the promises begin for the next version. Same old, same old. 

Agreed. Tried XP11 and it looks and feels rather cartoonish in comparison. Only spot it's better for me is night lighting.

 

Anywho, glad the P3D updates continue, and look forward to "something new" in 2017... :wink:

I am glad to see the update and improvements in regards to VAS, and also good to see a company hiring people local and not having their developers offshore. I will continue supporting LM, I am still unsure about X-Plane, I am waiting to see if we get an airliner at the PMDG/FSL level gets released as I haven't seen anything to my taste yet. Competition is good for us the customers

Happy landings!

How disappointing it's only a hotfix. How different is the current version of 3.4 with say 2.1?

 

I don't think it's very different. Feels like P3d is more or less standing still. Not going to x plane though. The addons are no where near as good as P3d. Just wish p3d would make bigger improvements rater than the odd tweak.

All,

 

In the upcoming v3.4 hotfix 2 we have reworked an area of code to more aggressively purge data when traveling large distances. We believe it might improve some of these VAS reports. Feel free to continue to report use cases and any specific reproduction steps.

Adam

Good news. It almost seems like there won't be a version 3.5.

 

I'd like it to aggressively purge data on short flights, 60 mins is the best I get with the pmdg NGX less with the 777 and that's with all the sliders backed off. Never ever experienced OOM or VAS issues before 3.4.

Ditto Steve,

 

Three weeks ago I gave up my flawless 3.2 - for 3.4 - now the longest sustained flight I can make is 1.25 hours - and I don't fly PMDG... Shortest flight a mere .25 hours... My PC might see even a shorter flight in the near future as it flies out my second story window... Maybe the silly 3D airspaces eat up resources when not in use ?

 

Regards,

Scott

Folks, this topic is about an upcoming P3D hotfix, not a P3D - XP urinary olympiad.  Please don't make it into one.

Beat me to it Bob!

...a P3D - XP urinary olympiad...

 

Brilliant. 

 

Permission to use that phrase under license?

 

On topic - have just migrated back to P3D and haven't yet flown any segments long enough to be VAS-challenged.  With luck, hotfix 2 will be here before I get a chance to hit the limit.  Question for more experienced friends - how long does it typically take between a mention of a patch like Adam's and the actual release?

The last time, for Hotfix 1 it took from October 17th (the first official mention) to November 7th. The delay probably has to do with beta testing, so there is no way of knowing how long it will take to release a  Hotfix. But a Hotfix is supposed to cure an immediate issue, so it isn't going to be months.

Thanks - sounds like a late December-early January thing, at least as a rough ballpark estimate.  Good to know.

 not a P3D - XP urinary olympiad. 

 

Not to be anal about this (pun intended) but an olympiad is the time between olympic games. So we are actually in one.
