Hello everone on AVSIM,
I have been away from flight simulation for a very long time due to not having a descent PC to run any sort of sim on. Today i ordered a brand new custom PC designed for flight simulation which is expected to be delivered by the end of the week and i really need some advice before i start spending money on sim software.
I am either going to install FSX or P3D and i'm really not sure which to install although i'm in favor of P3D or if my new PC will run P3D so i'd appreciate any help and information/advice from you guys who have been using either.
