Prepar3D V 3.4 Released
Indeed. Although VC interaction needs a better solution.

Active Sky Cloud Art for FSX & P3D - Released!
Thanks for the review Jim. I know what I'm doing tonight....

New Rex SkyForce 3D - The ASN Killer?
Ahhh, well that is good and bad in my view. ASN+REX was stunning in FSX. Since switching to P3D, I have never regained that sense of "wow." Was hoping for a new weather engine designed to work specifically with REX textures. Based on my experience I would expect this to look amazing in FSX and decent on P3D. I've still never really wrapped my head around why cloud formations look so different in P3D (vs FSX) despite using the same plugins. The clouds render smaller and tile more often in my opinion.

New Rex SkyForce 3D - The ASN Killer?
Looks nice. I hope everything is scaled and placed as beautifully in P3D. If so, I will buy without hesitation and drop ASN.

Dovetail Games Presentation @ FlightSimCon 2016
Certainly yes. I bought Early Access the day it was released. And yes it is fantastic. I was more referring to the frustrating Dirt years. Credit where credit is due... Codies restored my faith in their ability to produce a rally game. However I do sense that I will be similarly frustrated with DTG offerings to flight simulation. Hope they prove me wrong.

Dovetail Games Presentation @ FlightSimCon 2016
That's all you had to say. I've been down this road too may times with F1, TOCA and CMR. [turns and runs]

Ezdok - Terrible view system
I love everything about EZDOK and am trying really hard to see it any other way. But I can't. It's versatile and 100% customizable. It does take patience to understand. Personally, I have a ton of fun setting up all of my custom camera views for every aircraft, each mapped to hat switches. One hat controls basic views, like front, back, right, left and forward. The other hat gets me close to panels, gps, etc. Couple that with TrackIR, and it's the next best thing to Oculus. It may be useless for flying tubes for all I know. I only fly prop GA aircraft.

DTG released their Flight School today
Honestly, I am considering purchasing this game just for the flight instruction alone. I have been simming for years but still lack some of the basic procedural knowledge. I don't really care much about the graphics because my P3Dv3 works perfectly with 99% of my addon library. I am not looking to replace that any time soon. So... question. Forget graphics. How are the lessons? Deep enough? Would it be worth 15 bucks as a mission addon for FSX/P3d?

Carenado Shrike
I haven't purchased a Carenado since the C207 was released, but this may bring me back.

Today is a sad day...
I'd consider this a good day. Good luck!

What's your favorite airport? (RL or sim)
Real Life: KEMT, San Gabriel Valley Airport (formerly El Monte Airport.) Amazing breakfast and pie at http://www.anniaskitchen.com/ about 100 yards off the runway. My kid's love watching the planes. Me too. Easy, fun morning activity. Sim: KTNP, 29 Palms Airport, GET IT HERE Combined with Blue Sky freeware photoreal scenery of the desert is Socal flying bliss. Plus I can easily travel to some of Orbx's latest and greatest. This is my default airport in P3d.

Why LM still recommends Windows 7 for P3D V3?
I finally upgraded to 10 last week with a clean install. Navigating the OS is very laggy compared to 7. I am getting terrible performance in After Effects and Cinema 4D. I am currently looking for solutions. P3Dv3 with Orbx/BlueSky/ASN/REX/A2A is running splendidly, however. That's all that matters, right?

Realair Legacy Release
I've been focused elsewhere for a while so I wasn't aware this release was happening. Fair price indeed. I'll pay the premium for RealAir and A2A any day of the week. Looks great guys, thanks. Will get this (and an updated installer for the Duke) once I get my P3D v3 installed this weekend. Cheers.

For your viewing pleesure, Is it real or Fake?
X-Plane is certainly delivering at night time. Great video.

Mitsubishi MU-2B from KTNP to KSEZ
Awesome pics, amazing flight. Very often I fly out of KTNP (by 29Palms) and explore the socal deserts (Blue Sky). Haven't flown to KSEZ yet. I missed the holiday sale and the discounted Sedona :mad: How was the transition from Blue Sky scenery to the Orbx scenery? KTNP matches beautifully with the patch. Cheers.

Still using P3DV2.5
Still using 2.5. I was a heavy ORBX user, which caused some framerate annoyances (avg 20fps), but not a deal breaker in the least. But I have recently switched to photoreal scenery (mostly socal and desert areas) and average around 60fps with REX/ASN/A2A. Very very happy, and I feel like I am actually learning about my surroundings. That said, I plan on moving to 3.1 very very soon. I want the dynamic reflections, improved water and VAS.

Any new GA aircraft before the end of the Year for P3D?
A2A Cherokee or Comanche. No corners have been cut. Period. http://www.a2asimulations.com/#

Have ORBX done something.....?
Well this is good news.

DCS World 2.0 - Another Morning at Nellis AFB
Stunning photos. Incredible sim. I own 6-7 planes and simply can't wait for the WW2 map. I still find the terrain textures to be extremely lackluster, however. Maybe it's the LOD. I haven't modded or tweaked my DCS so maybe there is a solution for my taste. Cheers.

Aerosoft Flight Sim User poll
Surprised but pleased with this poll.

What happened to the DC-6?
Looking forward to my first PMDG purchase! Aaron

I'm a P3Dv3 Believer!
Congrats. I am still sitting on 2.5, but plan on using some holiday free time to upgrade. Looking forward!

Virtual Cockpit vs. Hardware Cockpit
For me, VR is not the way to go for simming. I want to see my hands and hardware. Augmented Reality is perfect, however, since we can be selective as to which elements are projected in to view. Furthermore, moving an object in the VC (like a GPS) is as easy as moving a QR code printout to another location on your desk.

Carenado working on new installers.
Good news. From what I understand it may not be necessary. But I'd love to have an official v3 installer for all of my Carenado aircraft. Even the old 185 please!
