Some people will find it easy to give up FSX, a lot won't at the moment. It depends on what you use in FSX, it might take a few months to get Prepar3D to the same stage.

Overall, is P3D "easier" on performance than FSX?[/quote]
Very difficult to answer -- but if I needed to give a simple answer, I'd say Prepar3D is heavier on performance, depending on your hardware. Not being CPU-bound really helps, but it does need more grunt than FSX. If anyone finds that FSX struggles on their system, I don't think that Prepar3D would help.

Another way of looking at it is FSX at is introduction was more prolific regard to the freeware, transition only a few months simply because many files could go a 'Portover" where if you go to the freeware sites there is very little solely designed for P3D tho many can can transferred across tho plenty of payware.

The laptop I have really struggled with FSX yet with P3D V2 it looks significantly better and I get an almost solid 30FPS. Definitely glad I made the switch. I have the Academic Licence
