I am somewhat peeved at the moment after having shelled out some $$$ for a couple of add ons that are list as Prepar3D compatible on the vendors website when they are not...at least for Version 2. It doesn't help my mood either when I find out that I have already purchased one of the add ons (FTX NZNI) back in 2012 when I was dabbling with FSX (and then giving up and going back to FS9). That was all on my old computer and things either got lost or omitted in the clean out and transfer to the new one.
Why do retailers just state Prepar3D when there is now many versions of it. It really irks me when these retailers wont refund your money after having been duped like this either.
These retailers should really tidy up their act and be quite specific as to what the add on will and wont work with.
In the meantime back to my vanilla P3D it is......at least until they are patched.

Over two years back the chat was P3D the 1.4 .. then 2 version come out, .. I simply looked and stuck with FSX , a well set PC can do all it at moment with all the cookies.

Not quite Ian but I take your point. The lighting in P3D is far superior and OOM errors are few and far between. P3D just has that smoothness that FSX lacks.

Exactly what the boys at "Flight Experience" pointed out ... the weather dynamics are spectacular .. during their lunch break I took the 737 from NZCH out to Timaru and back and landed in Wigram .. the viewing was gorgeous in P3D

They really should treat it as a new version. Just like FS9 to FSX.

On the plus side, Orbx NZNI and NZSI will soon be P3Dv2 compatible. Keep an eye out on their website. I believe it's currently in beta testing phase.

I've never had an OOM with FSX DX10, and I actually find FSX to be smoother because I can enable 1/2 vsync which can't be done in DX11 (which is what P3D uses). However, the lighting is much better in P3D.

Even with whooping PCs running the FE Sim there was still issues regard to P3D, sure updates will be soon .
