The installers recognize V3 since several months by now...we only had to keep the Addon Manager .DLL updated for all the Beta builds, which we have been doing basically every weekend since July :)

I made a quick test with KLAX:

P3D 2.5

P3D 3.0

And with FSX:SE as a comparison:

FSX:SE under DX9

FSX:SE under DX10
http://update.fsdreamteam.com/images/fsdt_klax_FSX_SE_DX10.jpg

I tried to match P3D settings as close as possible. I loaded the default F-22, with no AI Traffic and no other 3rd party sceneries installed, but it's the same in both sims, so we are really interested in the differences under the same configuration.

And yes, there's some significant VAS optimization from P3D 2.5 to 3.0.

While FSX:SE (under DX10 only) is still A BIT better, I don't think it's a fair comparison, since the graphic quality in P3D is so much better, there are no proper shadows in FSX, weather is far less detailed, no cloud shadows, no HDR, Bloom is unusable because of the fps impact, etc.

Dimon:
Yep, ~600Mb between v2.5 and 3.0. That's truly nice number to read

Quick question - did the folders' structure change much?

Michael Moe:
That sounds really nice  :) , but can we have the license active in both 2.5 and 3.0 at the same time to test the differents our selves ?

Thanks

Michael Moe

You can install P3D 2.5 and 3.0 without any issues, but they are separate licenses.

jgoggi:
Umberto, in order to switch from FSX to P3D v3 I would just like to know if I will be able to use Rome X scenery some way. Will I have to rely on a yet-to-come migration tool? Or do I have any hope to be already able to use it? Or will you make an installer for v3? Or can I roughly move the scenery files from my FSX folder to the P3D folder?
Thank you.
