Here's a fps comparison video from an Avsim guy. Perhaps watch it bigger on YT to really see the fps counter. It pretty much sums up of what I saw in P3D so far, but maybe there's more about it.  :-[

I recorded the flight with FSRecorder played it back in FSX and recorded with FRAPS, then installed 1.4, restored the config files so the settings are identical, then played back the flight again in 1.4. Note that this is meant to stress test P3D so there will be blurries and stutters.

some independent tests showed it was "up to" 85% faster than fsx

Got a link for that? If that's the case, it would be nice of course. But why doesn't the video show it for example?


The T-6/A Texan II they've included in P3D is freeware for FSX.
