Re: P3D vs FSX
I own P3dv2 Pro and still have FSX running only until my favourite aircraft are all P3d capable or purchasable under P3d after which I remove FSX.

Re: P3D vs FSX
for what it is worth I have got rid of FSX and P3d v1.4 only P3dv2.2 from now on,It just works great for me,so smooth ,no micro stutters or graphic issues and with Orbx scenery looks terrific,most of my FSX aircraft work well and what doesn't I can live without,as a person with limited pc knowledge that's all I ever wanted from my Sim, FSX didn't deliver a good experience to me ,lots of hrs spent tweaking this and that,just seemed to sort one issue only for another one to pop up,LM are very involved in improving their Sim and I believe things will only get better,I no longer purchase anything without a dedicated P3d installer,I run a 32" hd tv at around 50FPS on an old asus gtx 570 graphic card and my intel cpu o/c to 4500,

Re: P3D vs FSX
Tried P3d V2 , deleted it and went back to FSX. Cannot see any benefit in using both and with all the add-ons to FSX including programs to make it more responsive , it ok for me...
Now , in saying that , I'm not into airliners or the larger planes, so dont know if these larger planes need to grunt of P3D which FSX does not supply.

Re: P3D vs FSX
I've tried P3D v1 and v2 and deleted them after less than an hour of flight.
I have a rig with Gfx cards in SLI, and LM does not offer support for it. So I'm a happy FSX user.

Re: P3D vs FSX
I now use P3DV2.3 exclusively and love it and am very pleased that Milviz support it.
I am a recent new member having just purchased the B55 and MV407. It's great to have a platform which is constantly being developed and an aircraft developer which is leading edge. Thanks for the GTN support

Re: P3D vs FSX
seem all developers are asking this question Orbx results were fsx 617 users against 457 p3d v2 ( inc 17 v1.4) users,I suppose an 8 yr old sim should be ahead of a approx 12 mth old sim (v2)should it not,

Re: P3D vs FSX
P3D only. Never say never...but I can't see myself going back.
I have been able to live without certain vendors' product. However, with very few exceptions, the suppliers will move as well. I must say though, that the participation rate on the Steam forums gives an idea of just how comprehensive their ecosystem is.
Should a debugged DX11/12, 64 bit version of FSX SE or a worldwide, serious version of Flight (the visuals were excellent) show up; it would be difficult to resist. That all assumes LM will be sitting on their hands.
Oh yeah....this is a poll and not an invitation for editorial comment

Re: P3D vs FSX
I dropped FSX when P3D version 1.4 came out. While I lost some aircraft and a few minor areas, I felt P3D was the future and have not regretted my decision. I have flown P3D in Nvidia Surround in both landscape and portrait mode and it works well in either. Since P3D utilizes the GPU versus putting the load on the CPU like FSX, the frame rate and stability is fantastic.
I use REX4 for scenery/cloud textures, Orbyx scenery, Ultimate Traffic and Opus Weather. It's as close to real as you can get with current technology and will only get better. It's hard to imagine not seeing shadows across the cockpit, cloud shadows on the ground, volumetric fog and real world multi-layered clouds. Multi-player works fantastic (including shared cockpit) and I have enjoyed buttery smooth flights with up to 4 people stretched across the US with one of us being the host.
Never worried about the "not for entertainment" factor. It seems LM knows a lot of non-commercial flight simmers are a large part of their audience.
That's my 2 cents on the subject. Happy 2015 everyone!

Re: P3D vs FSX
Hi,
1 month ago I switched to PrD v 2.5. After some understandable beginning problem and an awful water colour (like the Dante's Inferno Stige), I'll never come back to FSX. The main reason is a different management of the graphic card, that helps the processor, so avoiding or reducing those damned OOM. Of course, waiting for something like New World discovery, or - just to say - a new 64 bit platform. And I'm quite sure that the Lockheed Martin people is on this way.
Best regards,
Fulvio Arman

Re: P3D vs FSX
Our Wing,CVW-8.com, has been into P3D now for about 2 months (2.5). Using Living world, all addon from FSX(A/C and scenery), multi play, using CW3's Comms. Had a few growing pains but now running smooth, fast and FUN! "Try it you might like it"!!!!
