June 29, 20232 yr Since I've never bought the Academic version of P3d, I am unfamiliar with the "watermark" that I am hearing about. I've always used the Pro version. Exactly what does the watermark look like and is it a distraction in the sim itself. The new pricing is attractive in the Personal version, and I would like to purchase that version if the watermark is not affecting the sim's realism. Are we absolutely sure that the Personal version will have the watermark imbedded? Stan Edited June 29, 20232 yr by spilok
June 29, 20232 yr I’ve used academic versions for years. The watermark is in the top right corner. on my 4k screen it is barely noticeable, but at a lower res it may stand out more. it does not bother me as it is quite small and you just don’t really notice it.

June 29, 20232 yr Watermark is not an issue at all. I have been using P3D since 1.3-1.4 release. How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
June 29, 20232 yr I too was concerned about the watermark showing on V6 personal. However, when I checked a few minutes ago, the line saying that personal includes a watermark has been crossed out: https://www.prepar3d.com/news/announcements/2023/06/121250/ Does this mean LM has had second thoughts on this????

June 29, 20232 yr Wow, must have had 2nd thoughts on this - either that, or an administrative error.
