I am loving it too, but has anyone been able to get either xp 3d airports in view, or a 3rd party addon airport to blend with the ortho? Bob

Everyone wants a good looking girl friend, and most also want someone with brains too! Bob

You know somethings up when a add-on Aircraft shows you all the images of the cabin and outside first and the last image shown is the cockpit. I noticed this with the flysimware learjet Bob

Ok, maybe I got it wrong with you. Maybe you should just wait a little bit. Calm down, take a deep breath and maybe wait till tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day. Bob OK, maybe a different softer approach. Add constructive criticism like this: "I think if the dev's had more time, they could put a little more detail into the coastlines. That IMO would really help the Norway scenery. Other that than that it's looking OK" Bob

Somebody has had a bad day. I think sometimes we criticize sometimes when we are disappointed. Looking forward to something and then it's not what we expected. I did that a lot when I was younger. (-: Bob

What was b3 supposed to fix? Bob

Any Idea when v11 will hit the streets?

Jose, please let me know how your testing goes. I am really interested as I have the same processor you are using. OC'd to 4.5 Really interested in the results as I am running a 4 gig 760 and have been thinking about a new Video card. Bob

I thought so. Thanks Ed Yep, still waiting. Now I am forced to vacuum the house. Bob

Hi Bob, Now my personal machine I do backup and insure I get everything to the cloud. I keep all my addons on a portable drive, nice and organized. This is the first time I have had to reinstall the OS in 10 years. Anyway, thanks Bob for chiming in, I do appreciate it! Bob Hey Poppet, I have always stayed on the side of caution and was not going to do anything unless I got a definitive answer. I don't believe I have ever seen this question asked before, but then again the 5013 error will only arise when something major changes with your hardware, or when you did not uninstall P3D properly for whatever reason. Not sure if the uninstall is really true but it sounds logical. If P3D sees another install on a single license but did not see the uninstall, then this type of tracking by them is certainly possible for sure. Thanks Bob

Hi Bob, Hi, yes I was aware of Backups but do not bother anymore as I have always thought that if my gaming machine HD ever goes bad, it will be a good thing to reinstall the OS as it becomes cluttered through the years. There is always something going on inside your OS that you are not aware of. Now that sounds like something from the twilight zone LOL! The reinstall is a snap and it gives me something to do. Do you know the answer to the question I asked? Any input? Bob

Hi, I installed 3.3 when it first came out and had the error 5013 "No More Activation's remaining". P3D support fixed this and I was up and going. Now, this Last Thursday My HD crashed and I had to reinstall the OS and of course P3D. On Friday when I installed 3.3, I got the same 5013 message because it seems the something changed and of course and of course I was unable to properly uninstall. So one of those reasons have prevented me from launching. With that known, here comes the $1000 question. Since P3D has not been launched and scenery file index have not been built, and whatever else takes place on initial load, can I during this waiting period before P3D support can fix me again, can I install all of my addons even though P3D has not been launched initially? At least I can get something accomplished. Regards Bob

LM fixed it. Installed and ready to go. Thanks Bob A2A Cherokee installed just fine. Have not test flown yet though. Bob

Geez, just tried to activate after a full install and got the following error. NO REMAINING ACTIVATIONS(5013) Bob

LOL Rob. Don't Shoot! Just kidding. Hands are up. Please, I want to live to try P3D v12 release Bob

You know maybe the big buyers, maybe military, or whom ever the big buyer may be. The may wish to have many of the 3rd party add on's as well, and for whatever reason, just do not want or are will not be willing to mess with all of the update hassles. So we all need to protest Bob

You would think that they would have the ready. Cart b4 the horse.

9.8 gigs. Oh my. I guess I will go have lunch then paint the house. No hints anywhere about the content? There must have been some chatter on their forum wouldn't you think? Bob For those who will be doing a complete uninstall, please delete the following folders after the uninstall: C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 (or the modified install location) %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 %APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Prepar3D v3 Files Bob

Such a beautiful aircraft. Those were the days my friend. Bob

There is still a lot to do with AeroFly, but from what I have seen, I can say it may very we be a formidable contender in the near future. The graphics are simply beautiful. Is it ORBX quality? No, but very close. The lighting has a way to go. I don't mean the lighting is bad, most is just not implemented yet. Reflections and shadows are really well done. No water movement as of yet. The airports are outstanding and plenty of them. They are taking this slow but sure and you should go check out some of the 3rd party videos. There is considerable input from the video authors and most is very positive. Bob

Good idea! You could think of it as an investment maybe? Or, maybe if everyone spends the 15 then Martin may bet a bonus!

Hey Martin, I am now aware there are 2, but did not when I started the thread. I had no idea this would create such a firestorm. I of course will wait until I can get some positive feedback from those who actually purchased. I do think the price alone may allow me to just give it a try simply because there is a 3rd party piece of software for training which I did try, and I may just try FS just to compare the 2. I read a couple of your threads and many here have really enjoyed your enthusiasm and eagerness to get involved with the community. That alone at least for me Martin, keeps me very interested. Just so you know. Bob

I wanted to address p3d users specifically. Seemed logical to me. Sorry. Bob

Geez, I have not really follow this much since they mentioned steam, but I just noticed that there are 2 products LOL The school and the flightsim. Wow, I should stop my skip reading. So, knowing there are 2, when will the Flight Simulator be released? I found a thread where Martin seemed to answer every question thrown at him and is very will liked and respected here in the community. It sounds like the Simulator is going to be a long term commitment. So all of you that have said yes your getting the school version, but what about the sim itself? What is the most exciting thing you see in either of these 2 versions? Bob

Just got an email stating that if you buy now, you will get the DA42. Someone said it is 64bit, but looking at videos is not always the best way to truly see the product. Bob
