iPetroSS 542 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am serously thinking of moving to P3D V2.5 from FSX. My question is as simple as that ... Is it worth it ? Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 In my opinion that is a definite yes. 3D clouds and fog and the cockpitshadows make it 100% worth it in my opinion. Be aware that not all addons you got in FSX also work in Prepar3Dv2 though. If you want to fly PMDGs you need to buy new licenses, for others you may miss lights.

Deputy Sheriffs Jeroen Doorman 1763 Posted May 18, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have it and it looks great but if it's worth it I don't know ... I said when P3D came out that I wouldn't get it untill it's a 64bit sim. I managed to hold on to that untill V2 came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acra24 83 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 P3D is better than FSX in many respects, lighting, scenery and textures. But AES does not work in P3D and I miss having all the jetways working. It isn't perfect and I still get some CTDs and other issues but I'm glad I made the move. At least it is supported and updated which FSX isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPetroSS 542 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes, I am seeing too many friends move to P3D V2.5 so I'll give it a try. As for the PMDG addons...this is going to be costly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesrob 37 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would love to use P3D but I get Fatal Error when it loads. Despite posting on the LM forum on and off since last year I've had no usable advice, and very few responses. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Unfortunatly we can't really help you with that Rob. I had very good experiences with Lookheeds support. Maybe you should try it again and there was just some miscommunication between you and the staff. If you do not get answers probably a PM to one of the staffmembers may help advising them of your problems. I know myself how easy it can be to miss a topic in a forums that is so active as theirs.

jonesrob 37 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks Emi. I posted again last week but no real response. I'll keep trying, it can't be impossible to make it work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPetroSS 542 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Is it normal that I get more FPS with 3D sea than with low sea settings? This is odd...but good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite posting on the LM forum on and off since last year I've had no usable advice, and very few responses. Rob. Success. Found by a user on the P3D forum: My third monitor is VGA - it is this that causes P3D to crash. Disconnect it and all is well. If I start the sim with the VGA monitor disconnected and then connect it later, the sim will crash after a minute or two, so there's no doubt that is the cause. This didn't happen with v2.4, and of course I've never had the chance to use v2.5 until now. This may only happen with a few users, but for two of us at least, VGA is the culprit. Rob.
