May 22, 20206 yr Sounds like Torsten has a personal vendetta against P3DV5... He may be astonished... but guess what.. many of us are delighted with P3DV5, and based on LMs record with fixing P3DV4, I am sure that V5s shortcomings will be fixed also. As for FS2020... it is not even in Beta yet.. so I would not bet the farm on that sim, much less its performance characteristics.. It is still running DX11, so has a ways to go.. 😉 Bert
May 22, 20206 yr 2 hours ago, PhotoReal Earth said: Several important developers have announced, that they have switched to MSFS and would not develop for P3D furthermore. Really? And who would that be?? There were announcements from some of the best scenery developers (Flightbeam, FSDreamteam, FlyTampa, et al) that they were dropping further development for 32-bit sims, which means FSX, FSX-SE, and P3D v3 and earlier, and moving forward only on 64-bit P3Dv4 and up. PMDG and FSLabs have, likewise, announced sunsetting of their 32-bit products with all continuing development focused on the 64-bit platforms. I've seen nothing from the real players in the development community announcing abandonment of P3D in favor of the still unproven MSFS platform. For the OP--for years we endured generation after generation of big improvements in PC hardware--faster CPUs, more cores, faster storage, massively faster GPUs--and FSX was unable to take advantage of much of it. P3D brought us the ability to actually put those big improvements in hardware horsepower to beneficial use, and quite importantly did away with the 4GB RAM limitations that were crippling further advancement of mo-faster-better FSX addons. P3D has a no-questions-asked 14-day money back guarantee, so you can try it, and if it doesn't do it for you, you're out nothing. You can also buy a month-to-month developer's license which would allow a longer trial for the stifling cost of $10/month. You could buy P3Dv4 that way and use it for a few months wile you wait for P3Dv5 to mature and work out most of the growing pains. Lots of add-ons are compatible with both v4 and v5.
