Yes, but for almost all, no need to buy a new license, which is what the OP was concerned about I believe.

don-t know about UTX (even though I have it, didn't really look into getting the P3D4 version), but Active Sky, being he has purchased Active Sky 2016, he should be entitled to a free upgrade to ASP4

Yeah, sorry I don't really wanna be mean, but it doesn't seem like you bothered to check the minimum requirements in terms of hardware to be able to run these softwares properly... Probably the excitement of "getting it", but considering the amount of money, should have read a bit first. Not sure what you can do about it at this point if you wouldn't be able to upgrade your computer, and maybe depends on how long ago you purchased it yuo may be able to get a refund from some of it (like P3D itself)

Not quite sure I understand the point of this post... Is it just a rant/tantrum? Clearly the OP is not even asking for help, so not really sure what he wants by posting this out here...

Yes.. of course.. You actually think I'm NOT lazy enough to go back and edit..? :D

Also, not to the OP'squestion but to the guy that asked "what's the fun of VR", you can also give AF2 a try...

NO, actually NORTH America has had enough... there's pretty much squat for South America. i would rather have that than Asian stuff...

Yeah, change is scary...

Interesting. Good to know, thanks.

Why would it be X-Plane when he has said (for quite some time now). That "project X" was cancelled and that they won't be releasing anything into X-Plane..?

You mean the same forum this thread is on...?

What? Not really sure where on earth you heard that from (or why even there would be a problem between a motherboard and a pmdg product for that matter...). Asus motheboards are among the best around.

Devs have implemented measures to fight piracy for decades, this is nothing new. Requiring a mandatory constant connection borders the ridiculous, and especially because as it has been pointed out numerous times, this only affects the paying customer, pirates get around it anyway one way or the other...

I will call your "naive" and raise you an ignorance. If that is your particular case, I would avise you to get more savvy with your computer, networking in general, and run packet captures once you've figured out how to lock your computer...

I welcome you to unplug your computer from the internet and see what (if anything) stops working when you sim.

Many addons check online? Actually almost all of them do not... Sure, to validate on install, but not every single time! Thanks for the heads-up OP, I did not know this and will definitely NOT be buying the product if that's the case...

So I guess then what it does bring to the table is still awful in vanilla P3D? (rain for example)

Heard back from them, they said it does not apply to that either...

Actually the physical size of the monitor would have absolutely no impact in that....

Not sure where you get the "much better" from... I've seen some side-by-side video reviews of the two and the conclusion was that it was definitely *not* better... (worse at some things, better at others), and there was no clear winner. Will have to see what this v2 improves.

Not working for me. Checking to see precipitfx and *says* it will discount 30% but in reality discount is $0

Hi, I was looking through the products, and and I'm trying to understand the differences. I see precipitfx has contrails, jet wash, etc. and the same about immersion. What exactly is the difference? What does immersion packages provide that precipitfx doesn't? Also is it mostly for ppl that like watching the plane from the outside mostly? (Or do videos, replays, etc) Lastly, as of now (oct 2017), and with p3d v4/v4.1... does precipitfx *really* provide things p3d doesn't ? (Or at least improve on like the crappy rain fsx has for example, or is p3d rain now better?) Thanks for whatever info you provide, trying to decide if I should purchase or not.

Don't breathe into the headset (j/k)

Guess also "no one" noticed he already sad in the OP vram was at only 40% Also, 980Ti is an awesome card... on par with the 1070s.... Wouldn't use it for 4K, but still not the problem since he already stated he tied other resolutions too... Maybe drivers issue.

No two people have the exact same hardware and addons (and also additional software installed on their system which can also interfere/incide with oerformance); the results will more than likely be less than relevant to your particular use case. Edit: maybe instead reading the "long list" you can just read the part that you pretty much have 60 days to try for yourself and if you don't like it / don't see any improvement, you can get your money back.
