I for one think the cost is a little to high for myself. I can see where this product would be a good choice for the serious pilot but that is just a little to much for me. If I want to fly I will go signup at my local airport and get in the real thing I do have about 25 hours in a piper Cherokee. The flight lessons just got to expensive. And $200.00 is a lot of money for a game.

My advice to anyone wishing to get P3D is to get the Academic version - for most it will be that or nothing. So make it the Academic version rather than jack squat ..... .

Hello garymbuska,

Here is a form that may help !

This pretty well covers all aspects of prepar3d !

as far as cost - $10 a month is pretty cheap - and if you really like it - go for the academic version - You said You were taking Flying lessons - therefore You are a Student !

Just the fact that it is FSX that is alive - and is being upgraded - means it has potential ! It is every bit as good as Fsx and is being improved as We speak !

I plan to stick with it !!

Hi Bruno

Not aware of any demo or trial -- but remember P3D is basically FSX but it has been added onto bit by bit and as johnman says - it is in development from LM.

(But let's not forget FSX (..Steam) is also still alive, kicking and still being developed - just not by microsoft - & with a long potential in front of it too)

The difference I think is that P3D now has serious money behind it and is being developed in the direction serious flight simulation/pilot training/world scenery realism, etc.

The potential in both FSX and P3D, however, is virtually unlimited, with user/developer input. (we've been saying that since FS95 and before that I think .... )

Thanks Pete for the comments..................

"The new FSX compatible Flight Simulator"

yer,right

Have to eat my words.
Got P3dv3.1.. Most of FSX aircraft just fit right in.
On the whole.. very very pleased

I have enjoyed mine, overall it has better graphics and I am able to use most of my old FSX aircraft. Customer service is ok also. I start out with MS 2004 then FSX and Steam. It is very stable platform for me with little to no trouble .

Question:

Since it is LM doing the development and RCAF is using it, does it have a combat interface?
Is P3D going to be the newer version of CFS-CFS2-CFS3?

Just curious on whether we combat flight simmers might be looking at our CFS4....
