Guys just quick question! Since P3D is now available for 49 usd, is it worth buying ? What to do with all my addons in original FSX? thank you!

P3D doesn't interest me, but like anything else, that's why we have so many colors in the spectrum, for your own personal pleasure and taste. Half a dozen one way, half a dozen the other way, I'm sure you will find a split in this subject either way you look at it.

LM purchased the rights to FSX from Microsoft, P3D is nothing more than FSX on steroids.

I have no need for FSX on Steroids. It's just more resource being drained out of my system, and besides, I want to fly 3D, I can do that by hoping on the real thing. lol ;)

P3D utilizes the GPU much more then FSX does, so there is a boost in frame rates.

For more in-depth reviews and opinions, go to the AVSIM forums!

I'll go for the P3D  ;) It's faster than FSX and more stable.
