Good news!!! Waiting answer from FI ))

yes, and hopefully with full hdr support this time.

Guys don't rush into this too quick. So many features bugs and fixes across all platforms before a version for V4 will come along.

Yeah its just fsx over and over again. About as disappointing as fsw, but at least we get to keep our addons. What it means for me and a majority of others is that we will be able to use pmdg and fslabs aircraft without running out of VAS, a problem only exacerbated by FI. Hopefully it wont be to hard to port FI over, pretty much all of the other p3d V3 addons are going to be updated pretty easily.

I read over at Orbx that everything is clickable in their VR camera now.

JV of Orbx stated that VR is already supported and the user can use the mouse to click and move things. that is great news as it will get us up and going. However, FlyInside will be able to do things for us beyond the simple stuff so all in all we are off to a great start.

P3D V3 had VR also, but it was unusable due to low frame-rate. Did they talk about this issue?

Well, I am sorry. Flying exclusively in VR, I would love to use XP11 as my main/only sim, but the black-screen bug and other minor issues just make that a hard task. At least with P3D, things are a bit better and I can finish a long-haul flight without resorting to any "hacks".

With P3D4 we are getting two important features, the obvious 64bits and dynamic lightning, which should reduce the graphic gap between XP and P3D.

PMDG and other high-end developers also make it hard to leave ESP platform completely.
