Thx for the link, great tool. And really easy to use. I do a lot of VFR flights and the update of the magvar table is great.

Done.

I have no problems with Realair Legacy and Realair Duke v2 except the missing sounds (same issue in v2.0). Officially these aircrafts are not supported for P3D v2. I will check the gauge error log later.

Even in overcast weather ? I have a 780ti with an i7 overclocked to 4.8GHz and in overcast my fps drop from 40-70 to 15-25. In any other weather condition, I do agree with you. That would be a good excuse to buy a Titan :-)

That's not the point of this thread. I could try to explain why the immersion in P3D is better but I think that will go into another thing A vs thing B. So let's stay on topic. The flight model in P3D is the same as FSX because they didn't what to break the compatibility with FSX add-ons (at least not much). The consequence of this decision, for me at least, is that the X-Plane flight model is better than FSX/P3D. I really hope that will change over time.

Just a point of view from a student PPL. X-Plane flight models are way above FSX or P3D in terme of realism. Do a crosswind landing in both sims and compare to a real life one and the best flight model will be obvious. But the flight environment in P3D is incredible. That's a big problem with X-Plane. And I need a good flight environment, the more important factor is the Weather and I cannot live without OpusFSX. I found a fix for the P3D flight models : RealAir. Theirs planes are spot on, I really don't know how they do it. That's the only planes I use in P3D. In short, if X-Plane had more payware editors that would my sim of choice.

It's a known bug and it's fixed in 2.05 : http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=4373

For weather I use OpusFSX. Before v2 I was using AS2012 with FSX. Prepar3d has been a good excuse to try OpusFSX and so far so good. And I'm not so sure now to buy ASN.
