P3D v. FSX

[foxhound_66]

Hi all,

First post here but long time FlyInside user!

I have a quick question that I wasn't really able to find an answer for. In FSX, FI disables options such as DX9 preview, aircraft shadows, light bloom, etc.

I am wondering, does this happen in P3D as well?

I have FI for FSX and XP11. While XP11 looks better, FSX seems to work better with FI in general. Since I was hoping to have a bit of a graphic increase, I was considering P3D but want to know if there are any distinct advantages.

It disables the dx10 preview most graphical enhancements don't work with Flyinside to well. I think some of our users have had luck with sweetfx but not tried it myself. P3d has PTA by Matt Davies but again, this doesn't work. You can tweak the graphic settings with a good trade off with performance with both sims. It's all down to personal choice really. I'm sure somebody will pop on and give you some good pointers

Tony, thanks for the quick and great reply!

So as it seems, for right now, I am ok to stick with FSX:SE. My performance is beyond acceptable at this point, the only reason for switching would be to get some eye candy but I suppose that can wait.

Myself, like many others, can't go back to 2D so until something revolutionary comes along I will stick with what I've got!
