From what I found, the only Dassault Falcon 7X that is currently available is the freeware PAD Falcon: http://www.premaircraft.com/ Wilco's payware Falcon 7X has been in the works for a few years now and is expected to be released sometime in the future: https://www.facebook.com/WilcoPublishing/

Have you checked the FSUIP support forum? Pete did indicate that there is a problem with P3D v3 not recognizing axes calibration. http://forum.simflight.com/forum/30-fsuipc-support-pete-dowson-modules/

The questions that I have are: Can you hear the avatar's footsteps and do the footstep sounds vary with the walking surface?

This thread could fold nicely in the P3D V3 speculation thread. Now my two cents/pence/pfennig... unless most of their corporate customers have upgraded all the flight sim computers with the DirectX 12 graphics cards, LM will not implement DirectX12. LM is first and foremost a business-to-business enterprise -- not a consumer gaming company. Adding the Win10 requirement guarantees that it won't happen since IT departments are very conservative about upgrading to bleeding edge operating systems. Wishful thinking won't change that corporate reality.

I'm starting the rumor that P3D will be upgraded to DX12 in 2020 -- around the time that the IT departments of LM's commercial customers stop dragging their collective heals and upgrade the flight sim computers to Win10.

The thread title could be changed to "P3D 3.0 non-News plus other stuff". Since this is a speculation thread, I am speculating that the P3D 3.0 release date will be based on when LM's major clients have the budget to purchase new licenses. That would be sometime during or slightly before the new fiscal year (Oct 2015 for the US federal government and Jan 2016 for other clients), since the clients would need to include the purchase into their upcoming budget. Also, based on the V1 and V2 release dates (01 Nov 2010 and 15 Nov 2013, respectively), I predict that the release date will be 16 November 2015.

Yes and no. Assumption Place and Bell Aliant Tower do exist in Moncton; however, the Tower is really 127 meters (~381 ft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Aliant_Tower

Leefree, I found that you need at least 12 to 24 hrs to build a system before it's ready for use. First, test as many components as possible BEFORE closing the case -- the last thing you want to do is install everything only to discover that the motherboard is bad (should take about 2 or so hours). Next, after installing the operating system, install a few burn-in programs and run them over a 10 to 20-hour period. If everything is stable, you're ready to install your remaining programs. You could discard the burn-in programs as well, since it's unlikely that you'll need them again. There are a number of Youtube videos that walk you through building a PC, including the burn-in programs to use.

I'm adding to the thread for completeness. For runway lengths, you can download a cvs file from ourairports.com, filter within a spreadsheet and save a new csv file, load the revised csv file into Google Earth, then review the overlap between the ourairport data and Orbx data. http://ourairports.com/data/ Gary
