Sir Blackbird

Hi, I’ve recently bought p3dv5 and installed it on my main SSD, on which I only have 160gb of space remaining (my xplane and windows are installed on this drive too). So I’ve been wondering if I should reinstall p3d in my 2tb HDD or if the 100 gb are enough for the sim. Would the loading and performance hit be large on the HDD?

thanks

Hello everyone, yesterday i downloaded the quality wings 787 for the first time but have had a really bad problem when starting it up. Whenever i start a new flight with it i get a 'startup error' on the PFD and FMC, meaning i can't use the plane. Everything else works and i can fly it perfectly fine but this problem is really getting the better of me. I have tried to reinstall it several times but nothing changed. I am using P3D V4. 

Help really appreciated!

I am torn between the QW 787 and Q400. I just love the way the 787 looks but from what I've heard the Q400 is more realisitic....

Does the 787 FMC have Holds, airways and directs? 

Yes, the Maddog is nice but its even more expensive than the PMDG. I will hopefully get the Q400 today and write what I think about it.

Thanks @Chock for the great explanation! I think that for now I will try the q400 and get the FSL a320 later on If decide that P3D is really better for me. I did consider the Aerosoft but as you said it is probably better to getting 1 good product instead of many mediocre  ones. 

Alright, so yes I think its gonna be the Majestic Q400.

I presume the FSL prices are in USD? So yeah I think its either the PMDG 737 or Q400.

Well as you said, you are an airbus person, so you just have to experience the FSLabs. There is nothing quite like it in the market in terms of simulation and is a huge step up from the ToLiss that you were flying in XP11.

The price is well worth it, especially the recent update that has a lot of improvements and it is finally a great performer now in terms of FPS in P3Dv5 DX12.

But its 140 USD= 200Aud. Sorry, that's just too expensive.

Still, I think I am stuck between the PMDG and q400. I know the 737 is more expensive but not by much.

I just looked at the Maddog and it looks quite nice! I think I will decide for the q400 though. HiFly 737 doesn’t look the best in my opinion and there are little up to date videos of it on yt.

Well it seems like the Q400 is popular, but I would like a good FMC for vatsim so does it have directs, holds, airways etc? So nobody recommending the PMDG?

Hi guys, I have been using XP11 as my main flight sim platform for many months now, and have had many happy flights on the ToLiss 319 and FJS727. I have also recently started doing a lot of vatsim flights. I recently decided to try a go at P3D because of the way the sim looks and Orbx scenery. I am pretty sure there are quite a bit more study-level airliners for Prepared to. I however don't know what my first airliner is going to be, which is why I came to this forum to ask about it. I generally fly short haul and I'd say I am more of an Airbus person but I am certainly not above flying a Boing (haha). I have taken a look at the FSLabs 320 but the price is just insane, since I live in Australia it is over $200! So yeah, I just wanted to get your opinion on  a reasonably priced immersive tube liner for P3D. I would very much need a good functioning FMC because of my Vatsim addiction. PMDG 737 looks nice, or maybe the Aerosoft 320/321? Also, I would need a plane decent on frames.

Thanks in Advance!
