So, Out of curiosity and an abundance of impatience over the seemingly-forever-near-release of Aerosoft's new F-14 Tomcat (which I'll probably wait on for awhile and assess how much work needs to be done post-release on this no-doubt complex aircraft), I picked up P3Dv2.1 today (latest), and tootled around in it for awhile. The opaque ATC comms window is an absolute non-starter for me. Sigh. Aside from that, though, some nice graphics features, and it's good to see the ORBX and REX stuff in there purely from a visuals point of view. Graphically, there are definitely changes and improvements with DX10 and DX11 just not obtainable with DX9. Aside from that, though, I think it'll be a good, long while before I consider abandoning FSX for P3D. Clearly lots of progress is being made on the latter, but in a lot of subtle ways, from interface design to overall control, look and feel, there's still a lot of work to do. I'll be happy to keep an eye on it but count me as a definite, decisive vote for the FSX versions of any add-ons upcoming for the future, if there has to be a choice (nice that many developers are not forcing one on us). And I continue to thoroughly enjoy an FS engine I am very familiar with; there are a lot of subtleties I've gotten control over and can adjust dynamically for different situations, and at present I'm not seeing any kind of quantum leap in experience (just a small leap in graphics, really) with P3D. Keep up the good work, though, and best of luck!

Seeing something new with a fresh install of 2.1. In this first pic you can see a VX A320 which is correct. As we move closer, the texture is changed to that of a DL A320. This is just one example, but testing here I am seeing this occur whenever 2 AI aircraft that share the same model, in this case the A320 CFM model I am using, are in the area. The actual DL aircraft on the other side of LAX was swapping in VX textures in a similar fashion. Is this something on my end ? (before I post over at LM ) -
A little Medevac EC-135 action: Approaching Peachtree, the 85/285 interchange below us (love those Vector roads). Downtown Atlanta is 11 o'clock in the distance.
