As a recent newcomer to XPlane i completely agree i have been truly blown away by how awesome the sim looks out of the box. I still fly FSX/P3D but i can definitely see myself spending more time in this awesome sim. The community seems awesome too!

I'm new to the world of Xplane and I have been blown away by it, these betas are coming thick and fast and am really impressed with how the sim looks. Am loving the lighting!

As a long time FSX/P3D user i also like to keep an eye on the other sims. I bought Xplane 12 fairly recently and it looks amazing! so I've managed to download the Level up 737-800NG (I still can't get my head around the fact that its free!) now all i need to do is learn how to fly it. Can anyone recommend any good tutorials that i can get started with. I'm still fairly new to tubeliners having flown the QW757 in FSX/P3D and have never flown any PMDG aircraft so I am not sure where to start. Any advice would greatly be appreciated as i take my first steps in the world of Xplane Kind regards Daz

Good Morning hope you guys are well. I am looking for some advice and wasn't sure if this was the right place to post so do feel free to move to the correct forum. I'm a long time FSX/P3D user who has an HP compaq 2530p notebook that my late father gave to me. I would like to use this to run little Navmap but the OS is Win 7 and cannot be updated to a later OS as far as i am aware. Before installing any software I am wondering if its actually safe for me to network this to my Windows 10 machine. I really don't want it to go to e-waste and it would be good to have a use for it but i am not sure how risky it would be to use it for this purpose. Any advice would be greatly appreciated kind regards Daz

That looks really nice! as a P3D V4.5 user I skipped version 5 bit concerned about VRAM though as i only have a 8GB card i run at 1080P is it easy to get addons desgined for V4/5 to work in V6? i take its fine to have V4 and V6 installed at same time?

Thank you for the input guys, I have decided to purchase the 146 Professional with the points I have in my account so it cost me just £3.31 bit of a no brainer 🙂

Hello I have just received an email from Just Flight regarding some pretty pretty big reductions for their P3D products. The 146 Professional has definitely caught my eye and I am wondering if anyone can tell me how it compares with the Quality Wings version. I have the QW version and it's one of my favourite aircraft. I currently use V4.5. Kind regards Daz

I have my steam library on another drive rather than C (Operating System) i think its better practice to do this way re folder permissions. You can just fire up steam and hit the install button. I dont use anything special re firewall, it will all work automatically.

That is good news 🙂

I'm a big fan of the QW757 and fly it regularly in both FSX and P3D V4.5, i also have a soft spot for the 146. The 757 is one of the few aircraft that i can fly pretty well and it feels quite immersive with the inbuilt announcements. I would buy the 787 but i am kind of put off by the asking price.

Absolutely, in fact i've spent more on scenery and add ons for P3D/ FSX in the past year than i ever have. My ORBX library is beginning to get quite extensive.

I went for the 767 for both FSX and P3D, i have the QW 757 so the 767 will make a nice addition to my hangar. Seemed crazy not too that the price!

Im not really suprised with the survey results, i'm one of those few people that regularly use FSX aswell as P3D V4.5. Im happy with the aircraft and scenery i have and i've probably bought more add ons this year than ever for both sims. I also feel im getting too old to learn new tricks 🤣

What would you recommend for P3D v4.5?

I use v4.5 and occasionally FSX. I skipped v5 and i must admit that i do like the look of the updated v6. I'm very tempted to give it a try. I do have one question will 8GB of Vram be enough? I have a RTX 2080 and run a single screen at 1920x1080.
