Making it more attractive to the average Tom, Dick and Harry. When the dust clears, we'll see.

The sim future does look like Prepar3d.

So who here is a "professional"?? A student? A developer? Honestly...there is no license for Joe Schmuck who wants to sim it up at home. So you want this, you got to lie, and really if you're going to do that you're going to go for the cheapest option aren't you?

Which is pretty much the same as piracy...and we all love that right??

Well, I'm glad there was a note about a price adjustment for those who purchased in 2012 (whew I got mine 8th january so just get in the door). Looks like I can request refund for the difference.

Well I bit the bullet and downloaded it. Beware though as it is a big download. 3 zip file totaling 9.62 GB.
FSX coming off and Prepar3D going on.

Hi Cowpatz,

Note that if you have NZSI you will need FSX to run the sidebyside license (if you have purchased it from ORBX). Also, if you run the NGX you will need FSX to install in first so you can port over the relevant folders and you will need to create a dll.xml file (like the one in your appdata-roaming-fsx folder) and put the pmdghud.dll file inside it.

Let me know if anyone has issues. I have been running p3d for 3 months and i am familiar with it.

Kelvin

No worries, one more thing i forgot to mention. NGX (if you have it) will need to be activated in fsx first. You won't be able to just copy over all the folders/files and create the dll.xml file without doing this. Prepar3d doesn't seem to cope very well even when the activation window pops up, it just doesn't seem to accept the activation (at least for me anyway).

Is this with the very latest version of P3D?
Can you run FSX and P3D together on the same drive OK?

version 1.3 is the very latest version. you can have both FSX and Prepar3d installed on the same drive but cannot be run synchronously.

Think you missed my point. There is no license covering "gamer" or "entertainment" use. So if you're not a Professional or student pilot, or a developer, then you're going to technically be in breach of your license, no??

by **Ian Warren** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 11:27 pm

Maaaark ! + 2 ...

get with the program .. its good news .. Im Tech Joe Schmuck , a professional entertainer at Calender Girls

Yeah it is nice. To be honest though it is pretty much neck and neck with the 2700k except faster in video rendering and encoding and it has 6 cores. But yeah it does fly.
