  1. Quote from addman " But I guess it's tweakers paradise right now with P3D recently so I'm glad you guys enjoy it, " end of quote. Wrong Hook, I do not have any opposition/access to P3D for the general public, to whom want to buy it just need to knock themselves out, one of my VERY good friend got it, he asked me to look at it with him, we tried it together/tweaked it, he has a top of the line PC (he can afford to buy new hardware at released) with 2 Titan in SLI (we tried everything, SLI/single card), we also compared testing with his 780Ti and that's when we came to the conclusion that V2.0 was not ready for released. Did V2.0 performed somewhat good on his PC, the answer is yes BUT that was without any 3PD add on as they bugged V2.0 beyond believe, (I know.... different folks different stroke) and that was NOT with sliders as far as we would have liked to have them, I mean seriously who want to buy V2.0 or any other game for that matter if they can't use it maxed out on a top of the line PC....not me, I can seriously understand that not everybody can afford a Titan (or 2) with all hardware to follow these card, and from there users of mid range PC can't expect their sim/other games to be maxed out and they know that but to whom is the exception and do have a $8,000.00 PC should NOT have problems with any game/sim unless they have to many bugs. Do I also understand that P3D V2.0 is a work in progress...yes, and that is why I said that V2.0 was not ready for released yet, LM's decision = more unhappy camper compare to the happy one. As for your last question, I do not have it as I personally do not qualify for it, that's all I have to say on that. Am all rooting for you, I'm not writing here to tell anybody that they should not buy/use P3D, if you are please with what you have I'm sure you don't need another version/upgrade. My point exactly, I don't need to beta test something else.
  2. You are right J, I can also play Crysis 2 or 3 without any tweak at all with sliders to a medium range but I can also play these games with full sliders something you can't do with P3D with a top of the line rig. I remember before V2.0 was released, most here (and you know who you are) were saying that V2.0 would run on a medium range PC with decent perf. including their favorite add on, V2.0 was to be the best thing since beer in a can. As addman said, V2.0 is tweakers heaven not flyers heaven, if you are a tweaker enjoyV2.0, we can all debate these points for ever but the fact remain that V2.0 was NOT ready for released, FAR from it, enjoy been a beta tester, that is the main reason why I'm sticking with FSX DX10 and I have not buy XP-10 yet, still to many things missing in XP-10 for me.

  4. You are right on that, I agree with you and I am sure you will agree with me that if Window 7 had been released without been compatible with other software/games some would have raised hell, was Window 7 or FSX in beta stage when released, were they compatible with other software when released? The bottom line is that LM should have never released V2.0 when they did, there is no way they did not know about most of the bugs V2.0 is having right now, where are the beta tester, lets ask them about it....where are they? V2.0 was not ready for released, period.
  5. The question is, how can you easily update all SDL_Surface, each one independently? The answer is, by recoding.....how long are you welling to wait for this.
  6. Here is what I have from Orbx, did I put up enough? Hatred...... :lol: Orbx - FTX: AU YMML Orbx - FTX: NA WA79 Walter Sutton's Private Strip Orbx - FTX: NA KORS Orcas Island Orbx - FTX: NA WA56 Israel's Farm Orbx - FTX: NA 3W5 Concrete Municipal Airport Orbx - FTX: AU YBBN Brisbane International Orbx - FTX: AU YCDR Caloundra Airport Orbx - FTX: AU YCNK Cessnock Airport Orbx - FTX: AU YHBA Hervey Bay Airport Orbx - FTX: NA 1S2 Darrington Municipal Airport Orbx - FTX: NA 7S3 Stark's Twin Oaks Orbx - FTX: NA Blue USA/Canada Pacific Northwest Orbx - FTX: Australia SP3 DVD (Pre Order) Orbx - FTX: AU YMAV Avalon Airport Orbx - FTX: AU YMML Melbourne International Orbx - FTX: AU YPEC Aeropelican Airport (Pre-Pay) Orbx - FTX: AU YWVA Warnervale Airport Orbx - FTX: AU Gold Subtropical East Orbx - FTX: AU Green Tropical North Orbx - FTX: AU Blue Temperate South Orbx - FTX: AU Red Central Outback (Pre-Pay) Orbx - FTX: AU YSCH Coffs Harbour Airport Orbx - FTX: AU YPJT Perth Jandakot Airport (Pre-Pay)
  7. Everybody is saying that P3D is not FSX, maybe that's why you can get a refund? Have you tried Orbx forums. Everybody's on the same page over there, no sand kicking in your bowl or your out, nice place to sing cunbaya, not sure but I think they have animated fire camp.
  8. Not only that but next year will be the DDR4 memory years....a new ball game, smaller die with 16GB per module.. eeeeeeeee
  9. I know, even the Titan will be over run soon, there is more fun stuff coming next year.... :ph34r:
  10. Guys, my comments above were NOT to talk negatively about LM or Orbx, I was making a comparison with the amount of peoples visiting Avsim's forums compare to LM and Orbx, from there the amount of complaints about their products here....
  11. Ronnie, you are right, the 780 is the way to go, the Ti model is even faster for a extra $100.00, up to you to decide if you'r welling to spend that much, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487003 they all come with 3GB, this is the card for P3D right now BUT what will P3D be in 6 > 12 months, will you need more GB? The card to beat for P3D as far as speed/ GB is still the Titan. The 760 is not a bad card but this card is already obsolete speed wise if you have P3D in mind, I'm not saying that a 760 would not word, it's just not up to P3D standard. If you are staying with FSX any of these cards will do, my saying was always "There is no such thing as overkill when it come to PC's" Hope this help.
  12. Your guess is as good as mine, if I had to guess I would say that there is less peoples complaining on P3D forum for the same reasons that there is less complaints about Orbx products on their own forum compare to Avsim's forum....just a guess.
  13. Hey Stephen, I have not seeing you lately old friend, is everything OK? PM me.
  14. More power to you, and I mean it, I've never said that P3D V2.0 (vanilla) does not work, I said they have major bugs to ironed out, I know for a fact (after testing) that P3D v2.0 at medium settings > low is OK, try to set it with HDR + and more of the sliders to the right and crap start happening, as for my friend (including me) we know how way around a computer, just take my word for it. It's not about what I remember, the data is still available to him and me, look at all the threads here on this forum and tell me what is the % of peoples not having major problems with V2.0 (vanilla or not) compare to peoples like you who are very satisfy with it, there is your answer, again, I'm not trying to be negative here but I won't say that P3D is worth the switch from FSX as I know it's not there in it present stage, whom ever can't fly without their favorite add on need not to jump in P3D band wagon yet, I'm not saying that P3D will never be the sim. of choice, what I'm saying is that P3D still has a looooong road ahead to get there, how long will it take for P3D to get there with all your favorite add on (and new one) working without a hitch....your guess is as good as mine.
  15. It is good to know for all of simmers that have Orbx sceneries that they are in contact with LM, what kind of contact we don't know, I don't know what purpose closing their thread can serve, wouldn't it be better to leave it open to reassure their customers by posting on what their talk/plan are for the future of their existing add on? I don't want to be a party pooper but I remember a lot of add on developers having talks with MS Flight developers, we all know where that went, lets hope for the best. Great points, I've been tagged as a troll here for giving my opinion several months ago to the fact that add on will not work 100% as they did before V2.0 as expected by the majority of P3D users because of the simple fact that LM was making major changes to their/FSX engine including the DX11 mod., well, today is here and major problems with add on are showing their ugly head as expected. It will be up to the developers to make modification to their add on for them to be compatible with Pd3 V2.0, not LM, LM will have to fix their own bugs in P3D. In my defense let me say this, I know I rub some members here the wrong way, maybe because I'm to blunt or else but the fact is that I have nothing against P3D, :sorry: I want P3D to succeed for the right reasons, :cray: I always said what I was thinking and if wrong I don't mind been corrected at all, it may have been corrected one or twice before in my entire life (not according to my wife but that's for another thread). I do not own P3D but I did some extensive testing with a good friend of mine who do own it, he has a VERY good top of the line PC (he can afford to get what ever new hardware is released the first day, and he does) so I think I can give my opinion on P3D here and there, and by the way, saying something that some do not want to hear may look negative to them but informative to others.
