Upgrading to the 1070 GPU would be a very cost-effective upgrade. This GPU and your 4790K CPU are very competent to run P3d v.3 or 4, and run it well! You don't need a new system, just the GPU and RAM.

I've been waiting a long time for the release of the Tabasco for v.4.3! Hope it integrates with the Flight 1 GTNs! But seriously, it's a great hobby either way you go. There are new add-ons that may not be compatible with v.3, and you can get decent results with your hardware and modest adjustments to the settings. I have a 4790K and a 1070 GPU, and all is good. Try Bert's settings if you go this route - they hit the sweet spot for hardware of a certain age. Rich

Are the A2A aircraft compatible?

But with HDR lighting off, I can then adjust the overall brightness of the display with the Nvidia display driver's color/brightness settings, and accomplish a consistently pleasing appearance, which I can't seem to get with HDR lighting enabled.. Rich

Count me as another who finds that turning off HDR lighting is preferred as the way to eliminate the washed out effect of the lighting in Prepar3d. You can also try turning up the brightness slider and turning down the bloom slider with HDR lighting enabled, but my experience is that turning it off produces better results, and produces a lighting effect more comparable to that seen in FSX.

Thanks. Will definitely check these out. Rich

This only started with a recent Windows 10 update. Waiting for a complete shutdown of Prepar3d before closing Windows seems to be the cure.

In fact, I have found that once you learn how to use the MCP and the Autopilot of the NGX, an ILS is in some respects easier to accomplish with the NGX than it is with some simpler aircraft where it requires more attention to the intercept angles and the like.

Or how about installing it into the Carenado A36 Bonanza that is a default aircraft in Prepar3dv.4? The stock A36 in Prepar3d has two GNS 430's, and while I can get a 650 to fit in the space of one of those units, when I try to open the 650 in a pop-up window, I get the two 430s to pop up instead!

I am likely one of the few users who found the scenery update in 4.1 indispensable. My home airport is Baltimore (KBWI), and prior to the 4.1 update, an aircraft approaching the terminal area would physically "crash" for no apparent reason. I and a couple others complained to LM, and imagine my surprise when they fixed it! Thank you, LM. Rich

No. Should not be a problem for your aircraft addons, as the install locations for the aircraft are independent of the client and content modules, so their replacement should not affect the installed aircraft. Have not seen problems reported by others, and my aircraft were all intact after the 4.1 modules were installed. Rich

Just don't anyone suggest it is "imminent."

Based on what transpired here over the first couple days of the 4.1 update, the verdict seems to be that you need to install both the client and the content modules. Those that installed only the client experienced some issues. Rich

Doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. Install P3dv4 on a separate drive (recommend SSD), and go easy on add-ons initially. See how the 64-bit experience suits you, while continuing to use FSX perhaps for much of your everyday flying. In time, you will want to add additional aircraft, scenery, Active Sky, etc., for reliability, performance, or eye candy reasons, or not. If and when you find you are spending more time on P3d, you will likely begin to invest more there and wean yourself away from FSX. But do that on your time based on your preferences. Good luck!

UT is compatible with Global. It's Ground Environment that conflicts with Global.
