4. Significantly improved multicore support
5. DX12
6. New lighting engine

+1

Oh, and btw - no problems what so ever with Windows 10 here, either... 

64-Bit, new lightning engine, including light effects being displayed onto the aircraft, and my biggest hope: An Anti Aliasing exclusion for clouds, if that is possible today. Would make the performance so much better.

Win10 doesn't play nice in training sims... issues with hardware, drivers, etc.  If Prepar3D went DX12/Win10 only... they'd lose their primary customer base.

works fine here...

Good for you... are you running an actual commercial training sim with specialized hardware?

So then... let´s stay with Win7/8 an DX11 forever...? Or how should that work exactly?
P3D v3 works wonderful with Win10 x64.
Years ago when first users started shouting for a x64 version because of coming up memory limitation problems lots of users replied: "No need for, I don´t have OOM problems". What we then got was years of struggling with VAS consumption and OOMs, tweaking several config-files and installing/uninstalling uncountable versions of Nvidia drivers instead of what we actually wanted to do: Flying.

Technology is always moving on and so shall we.

No Thank-You! Directx12 means downgrading to win10 from Winner7. That is something many users are not willing to do. 

Maybe in 10 years Microscrap will get their crud in order and build an OS that actually does what it is supposed to, without breaking other software.

As always, just my .02c.

If you do a cursory search, you'll find a boatload of people who are using Win10 with zero problems. A few steps below...

1. Get Macrium Reflect Free, create the rescue disk and image your drive to an external one.

2. Install Win10

3. Install OandO Shutup

4. Download all available updates prior to installing anything

5. Disable Windows Update

6. Done

7. Don't like it? Restore and you're done.

sloped runways

Well if it does go to 64 bit ( pretty sure that is going to happen), hopefully they can sort out the terrain bugs in 3.4 (KSNA and surrounding area), plus hopefully will be able to run ORBX NCA, KSFO HD and not get the DXGI_DEVICE_HANG message, better autogen, better LOD, less stutters, accurate airport data (KORD).

When it is released,  I will have to probably figure out how much RAM to buy to run with my Win7 Pro, GTX 970 rig (and if I can afford to buy v4, plus upgrade my aircraft, airports, scenery).

One of my highest hopes is in updated and updateable navdata and airport data. I am pretty sure I'll not get them though

I know this. And where are the fitting (closed/modified/new) runways, taxiways etc?

Kind regards, Michael

 

Bobsk8,

I hope you live in Indonesia matey, because I know a dentist here who can make your root canal procedure as painful as Swindles10 and I mention this just so that you can MAXIMIZE the fun LOL.

What is it with people with these damn sloped runways?

I don't want a lot, 64-bit and rewritten ATC, for now...

Why are they damned and why wouldn't you want them? They're not something at the top of my list but they would certainly be nice to have.

It's nice-to-have but I don't understand people going literally crazy over this in their wish lists, there are so many other areas that need improvement.
