Now that I have tasted FSW, all I can say is hurry up V4 P3D, there is nothing to be concerned about.

<t>Saitek's support is awful, always has been, don't get me wrong I like their hardware, I have an X-52 , their Cessna yoke, their Proflight panels and 3 sets of their throttle units. On the other hand why not just program everything through FSUIPC. It is much more accurate than the quirky s/w suppl...

<t>Surely 1/2 the problem is that LM do not advertise under the illusion it is not an entertainment program. So in effect it exists by word of mouth amongst a diminishing audience. Or so it would seem until recently with the injection of life given to FSX by Dovetail Games. And now there is speculat...

Quite astonishing. The sim has come a long way.

TrackIR is great but of more functional use in light aircraft and fast jets. In tubeliners where the systems are more important than looking out the window, TrackIR can get in the way.

Piracy is the main reason, if it were not for thieves and vagabonds then we would not need licensing. The wait? LM is not a game company with oodles of staff on hand.

<t>Well if that is the case then I for one will not be suckered into buying it. I have been disappointed with every P3D issue thus far. It is just too unstable. I have a boxed version of FSX with an absolute ton of add ons (328 Gbs) and it rarely crashes. And btw since I have been trying out this PL...

Haven't a clue as I don't have it. Not knowing what it was I found in my travels this instructional YT maybe that could be of help.

Yes 99% of buyers probably don't even come here with problems. They may come for latest news etc but most have no issues.

<t>+1 re your attitude towards the logbook. In your editing of it, I think that like FSX and FS9 beforehand, if you try and do things out of sequence, i.e. not delete from the latest entry going backwards, it will screw up the logbook totally. There are fixers/editors available at Flightsim.com and ...

<t>I have found it best to do the mapping through FSUIPC which is more precise than the in built sim settings. I think it has to be the payware FSUIPC though I may be wrong. It is at first a bit fiddly to get it done especially if you have a lot of equipment to program. e.g. I have a Saitek X-52 J/s...

<t>It is my experience with FS9 FSX and now P3d, moving from a 32 bit Windows (Vista) to 64 bit (W7) is what causes my oom. Never had them before. I maintain a widget on the desktop for freeing up RAM which seems to work after a fashion. Have to be mindful to use it though or else "Kablaaam". Sim ju...

Wow you guys! I run v2.5 just fine on my 4 year old i7 2600K.

<t>d/l is my shorthand & just means "download".<br/> It takes a while to get the hang of all this and it is made harder if you are not a native English speaker. There is a tendency to presume that everyone speaks or at least understands colloquial English. Totally wrong as flight simulation is v...

One of the drawbacks in their licensing I'm afraid.
