I've just delved into the world of Prepar3d V4, so forgive me for the beginner questions :) First off, I'm using a 34-inch ultra-wide Acer predator monitor, should I set my default views for widescreen on the settings menu or untick the box? Second question: how can I save my custom views to automatically come up the next time I open up Prepar3d? And the third question, I did purchase Orbx Vector, Global base, Open LC North American, HD Trees, isn't there another company that competes with them perhaps? Or any recommendations as to what must have scenery enhancements to buy next? As a regular X-Plane 11 user, I appreciate "photo real" scenery. And finally, what is the best airliner to purchase and the best GA aircraft? Responses will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Hello,I am a new member to the avsim.net forums. I would like to take this time to introduce myself and explain why I joined and also to explain this post.My name is Gabe and I haven't played any hardcore simulation airplane games before. I would like it noted that I do OWN Microsoft Flight Simulator X: GE but I played it with, get ready, a game controller. I recently heard about Microsoft Flight and relished the opportunity to continue my meager experience at an easy level for flying. I downloaded the game and was pleasantly surprised at the game. The graphics are decent, though there are some stutterings, and the planes look good to me. The lack of content is a little surprising as is the price of the DLC. However, for what is free, I don't mind the game.Now I have noticed posts on this forum that are hating on the game in an extreme manner. Taking note of this I, a noob, have come to you to ask for help and advice. Here we go:1. Is Microsoft Flight worth playing without the additional content? I really like the Mustang but is it worth a go?2. Is Microsoft Flight bad for me? Will playing this game ruin my abilities for more "hard-core" sims and will this game make me less likely to enjoy those games?3. Should I buy a joystick or is a game pad useful enough for me for where I am at currently in my skills?4. What other flight sims would you recommend for me? Should I just stick to Microsoft Flight or are the better ones out there for MY style?I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this and for helping me with any thoughts, comments, or criticism (positive please).Regards,Gabe

Well, some time ago I purchased a copy of FSX Gold, with my brand new laptop (Toshiba R835-P81, i5 2435, Intel HD3000). I'm getting good performance with FS9 and addon sceneries and aircraft, but I'm getting tired of the limited autogen range and the blurries at the distance. I understand FSX is better in this aspect. If I want to try FSX with this laptop (yes, I know, thou shalt not sim in a laptop), what should I take into account in order to not having to look back at FS9? I mean, settings, addon recommendations, etc. PS: I hope the FS9 people don't see me, they'll charge me with high treason :P
