yeah the Orbx sale is great i want to buy AU sp4 but i have to wait till the end of the month but i did pick up NZ south today. I missed the last sale they had.

I picked up the academic version of P3D as i had the spare money but all we know about v2 of P3D is that it will support dx11 which is not much to go on and does not say anything about compatibility of current addons.

When i post to someone who is thinking about buying P3D i always ask them what they expect to get from it and if there flight sim is running fine is it worth swapping over as P3D is not perfect even though they have already fixed a lot of bugs that is in fsx, Some people do have a performance gain while other might not. While i have had a performance gain and the sim runs smoother than fsx for me some have had the opposite and found it worse than fsx, if i was to put that in terms of fps for me.. in the CS757, 727 and 707 i have seen between 3 and 10fps more in the VC with my current hardware.

Oh the other good thing about P3D, if you ever get board of flying in the air you can fly under water in a sub :)
