May 23, 20179 yr At this stage, I think the Avsim P3D v4 buzz is self-perpetuating, we've got a whole lot of threads at the top of the forum speculating about the 'impending new release'. I've just been over to the actual Prepar3d forum and I note that there's no talk at all about v4 there!

The upside is that looking at the threads of late on the P3D forum, there are almost zero threads regarding some problem with P3D Version 3. It would appear for the vast majority of users, that very few if any problems are occurring. That is pretty good for a flight sim.

Surely, I have some wishes for an improvement especially for LOD and AA, but I'm happy at 90% level with v3.4. Even if V4 is released today, I don't see myself on the new platform until at least Fall, since I do want to fly, rather than beta-test :-) 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
May 23, 20179 yr I'm also happy with my 3.4 setup at the moment, but I'm also getting bored with the bottleneck in the addon development pipeline. Maybe it's just me, but I think there hasn't been a lot of new airports or updates to existing sceneries lately. My suspicion is that devs are waiting until post v4 release. While there are plenty of payware airports I can fly in and out of, the rate at which new ones are showing up seems to be slowing. Meanwhile, I am also looking forward to the day that I don't need to restart the sim before descent to release all that VAS memory in order to land at a detailed airport. It's a tradeoff I've accepted in order to have my settings where I like them, but it's time to move ahead with 64bit. How D'Andre got word of an imminent release before other devs or beta testers released any information makes me suspicious that it's just clickbait. We shall see. Hoepfully I'm wrong. John
May 23, 20179 yr I honestly can't see myself purchasing any 64bit version of P3D on release day. Compatibility with my aircraft and scenery addons is extremely important to me, and expecting this to be 100% perfect on Day 1 of the v4 era is just fantasy. I am looking forward to seeing any improvements and upgrades that will be included, and also reading the comments from new users. I am sure that they will be interesting Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
May 23, 20179 yr Well, while laughing at our self-generated hype, I am also genuinely excited (which is why I'm here I guess!). I will absolutely, always be a day 1 purchaser for a new core sim update. IMHO, you guys with your 'lets wait two months until it's stable/practical' have some sort of 'newsim under-appreciation disorder', I'm pretty sure that's in DSM V and you can likely get therapy for it.
