Has EVERYONE now got P3D v4?!

Thank you very much for your help guys! I installed my C-47 in the airplanes folder in P3Dv4, and then did the gauge.dll switcheroo and it works! I can only find one thing that doesn't work, which is the ability to change fuel and cargo loads in the Shift+2 window. Not a big problem, as I can modify that stuff in the P3D fuel and load window.

OK, now to continue on with my flight! We'll still be in Japan, but at least we'll be on the move again.

I have been an FS2004 and FSX simmer for many years, and invested in quite a few addon's.

I purchased X-Plane 11 last December and am enjoying it more and more. I have been looking at P3D v4, but have a hard time forking out $200 for a sim that needs at least FSUIPC for my switches, and who knows what other add-on's.

And like many others I have add-on's that I just can not part from.

FSW still has a very long way to go, and I am not sure they can keep up with the competition.

So, part of the dilemma is; do I invest $200 in the purchase of a new sim (P3Dv4), or add-on's for a sim that I already have (X-Plane 11).

decisions, decisions.....
 
Why does everyone call sim purchases an 'investment'?

It's actually just a purchase. it is just a sim 'engine', for want of a better explanation. It's intrinsic value is dependant on what you buy to feed it.
It certainly does not increase in value.

Or is it a nice way of justifying money spent on something that is 'not for entertainment'?

(only an investment for P3D, & a purchase for FSX, as FSX is for entertainment?)

Semantics, maybe, but please excuse me, I have not had my morning coffee & donut yet.

For the longest time I had the P3D developers license at the

"LOW LOW PRICE OF ONLY 9.95 A MONTH, CALL NOW, OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY!"

Sorry, about that, but I continue. 10$ a month is pretty easy even if it does add up to 200 by the time the next version comes out. I finally ended up getting the academic version for 60, many because some add-ons were cheaper in academic and others, like tacpack are only available for academic. I was also worried that when V4 came out I would not be able to by V3 and paying the monthly fee forever. Turns out that's not the case, you can still buy V1 but I don't regret getting Academic over Pro, only difference is a small white 'Academic Version' watermark in the upper right corner of the screen.
 
I tried X-Plane 11, was really impressed by the frame rates and detail, hated the lack of seasons and airports. I went with P3D4 Pro over XP just for A2A. They've said they won't develop for XP, so it was an easy decision. After flying the Texan in P3D, no regrets, looking forward to more of their aircraft. And surprisingly, my frame rates in the Texan over NY are even better than XP's default Cessna over Seattle.
