Are you Prepar3D®?

[@ownageDan]

Was the music made specifically for this trailer or is it available somewhere else? It's pretty cool :)

[@N0616JCProductions]

The aircraft manufacturer that bought the engine made the C-130, C-5, F-117, F-22, and F-35. Also, Microsoft closed the team that made the "game" and tried to make a new game base off of Flight Simulator X, which - obviously - was failure. Another thing, if that is just a game, then why would Rod Machado, a flight instructor hold lessons within the "game" and will fail you if you don't follow his prompt? Also, if it's a "game" then why pilots use it as a learning tool?

[@signmanbob2]

I believe P3D will the future of flight simulation for the many enthusiasts that love to learn and explore the different areas of aviation. FSXtoP3D Migrator is a handy tool that can be purchased at Simmarket and can easily import both payware and freeware addons and scenery into P3D without problems. More and more, payware developers like Aerosoft and Orbx FTX are making their products compatible with P3D. I'm very excited about P3D and very impressed with Lockheed Martin.

[@kevinsoto15]

God how did you predict!

[@jman036]

FSX is NOT a game..its a way of life

[@fighterplanes]

in this trailer what is the version prepar3d?

[@wholsdrunks9102]

1.0

[@SupaBlank]

Please tell me this is Oculus Rift compatible. This and outerra are awesome.

[@TurtleDucki]

It is.

[@FSXtremeVideos]

What F-35 are they using in this trailer?

[@dbaboun]

Which airliners does the P3D included and what airlines?

[@austben]

Diego Baboun www.prepar3d.com/vehicles/ + many other great freeware and payware aircraft

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Is v4 coming out soon or should I buy v3?

[@VexedPikachu]

Academic version is $50 (meant for home use), Professional version is much more expensive because of the licences that allow it to be used for proffesional training purposes

[@Croatiair]

If I want use it like Fsx for online flying with airbus which version do I have to buy?

[@N0616JCProductions]

If FSX is a game, then why would an aircaft manufacture purchase the engine that is used to created the simulation!?

[@82ndairborne100]

Is this available to the public?

[@MrDavid4998]

are there only lockheed/martin aircraft?

[@ateh1]

Well, I think the best improvement is, as a 32bit program FSX was originally not designed to be used with high end multicore systems, and unfortunately less RAM can be adressed by FSX. I may be wrong, but I think Prepar3D is a 64bit program, and therefore more RAM can be adressed. I experienced slightly better framerates in Prepar3D, not much though.. You need a quite good pc anyway to get a constant good frames of at least let's say 30fps. No matter if it's FSX or Prepar3D what you are using.

[@WillHeidt]

this looks beast! its alittle expensive.... but what i want to know is can u do a free flight like fsx??

[@anonymous10011]

It's just MS ESP with some tweaks, ESP is identical to FSX, but the licence agreement is tailor made to allow for things like redistribution and re-coding. ORBX (a large FSX developer) now gives cross licencing free of charge on all products, the EH101 is the default FSX models and the C206 is a Carenado model.

[@NCPilot]

Can you use FSX aircraft in this simulation?

[@BLRooster]

I sure hope you made it function a lot better than FSX without a supercomputer

[@PaoloMarinelli]

do you know when it will be ?

[@TheSkyline35]

Yes but this is the last way of life we have, since microsoft destroyed in the studio responsible for FS, and licensiment began during the development of FSX, and that the source of many bugs and the fact that there is no patch fix. Everything is based on Lockheed Martin geniuses now.

[@xDustyRocker77x]

What is the song lockheed martin?

[@VexedPikachu]

Um when did I say anything different? Only tweak i've done is through nVidia inspector as I do with just about every game. Have you turned off bathymetry? Its a fps hog and only used for the subs

[@vittau]

Why are some home users interested in this? Is there any practical difference from FSX at all?

[@Napoleonic_S]

the problem is that there are actually many classified things in these newest military jets that preventing some simulator developers to create realistic consumer simulation based these certain jets (for example, many doubted that DCS F-22 will be as true to life as DCS A-10 due to many classified things in F-22 compared to A-10)... while prepar3d isn't exactly a consumer product as long as it use windows and other public OS it will risk leaks.

[@ocseong818]

please upgrade the graphic, especially the lighting and shadow effect, that you can see in xp10.

[@ateh1]

Wow awesome pc .... !! But I guess, Seattle is simply way too detailed ... 20fps in Seattle seems legit even for a high class pc like yours ... (wait we're now talking about FSX, right ..?) Have you ever tweaked your FSX.cfg a bit ..? And are you using an external fps limiter, which might help a lot .. As well, I try to keep my pc as clean as possible. Get rid of crap you don't need and defrag your system after huge installs, such as orbx or planes from pmdg.

[@FSXtremeVideos]

I have no idea. I mean, it is the training simulator from Lockheed Martin, created to train pilots, including Lockheed Martin pilots, so I would guess it has to be.

[@Pixel968]

And can i know wich aircraft manufacture? This "simulation" have a pre calculated engine, an irealistic engine. fsx is not a simulation, it's a game. In the same type (same engine), you have train simulator.

[@HolyOrangeJuice]

For all of you people who think you have it out they pretty much have the rights to game, made it better, and now you have prepar3dv2. You can get the academic license for $60.00. This is simply licensing for what you can use the game for. I understand that some of your minds can't wrap around that concept but $60.00 is a hell of a great price for this. Go to the forums and you can find modules to FSX to P3D and then you have a better version of FSX and all your favorite stuff.

[@DaRealStiffhand]

The sole reason Lockheed wanted this software is to sell it to the military (Probably not as a stand alone app but as part of a flight sim setup with hardware as well). Lockheed has no real interest in gamers. Their business is defense. When you think about it, this was a very smart move for them depending on what the cost was. MS has already done all the grunt work and created a very realistic piece of software. I guess being focused on a different market, they didn't see the potential left.

[@Doogiereid]

Bravo mate I take it that was the LHM edited one? :)

[@ateh1]

thank you Doogie, yes this is the edited one by Lockheed. Good job guys.

[@EscapeLifesGravity]

LM obtained the license for it, and have been developing it and refining it.

[@ateh1]

As already mentioned in the description, Prepar3D uses the Microsoft ESP technology. Of course it looks like FSX mostly. Still, it is much better than FSX, and x-plane crap is not even compareable to Prepar3D. It is way more stable than FSX, it can be used as a platform for developer, last but not least in Prepar3D you can go down under water.

[@LTF85199]

Graphics are truly amazing, but Lockheed can you mach realistic physics like on Xplane's.. that would be cool

[@vtwinbreed]

It's $49 and you download it from their site like almost all game manufacturing companies are going for.

[@ElHyperion]

It looks just like FSX. Do I understand it correctly that this is a continuation of Microsoft's Flight Simulator, which stopped being a simulator (see Flight)? Is it at least 64bit compatible, or will I get the same crashes and errors I got in FSX under Windows 8? If yes then I guess it's time to abandon FSX. One reason is the new X-Plane and this is making it a definitive decision. Will be glad to finally fly a not-outdated simulator, compatible with FSX addons

[@CnopAviation]

LM bought FSX engine, and continues to develop it. This is basicly FSX service pack 3 now, and it's getting better all the time. They're adding all the features we missed from FSX.

[@ElHyperion]

CnopAvia New features? Which means longer loading times and way lower FPS than I got in FSX, even if I disabled AA, filtering and set it to medium details? And I can run FSX on 30+ FPS with max details and REX installed... And not to forget that it even has no menu, which also adds more time cause you must spawn with the annoying F22

[@CnopAviation]

I guess you used an old version of the sim or tested it for 10 minutes without really understanding how it works or what it is. Check their own change logs for updates, there are a lot of them. Prepare3D supports for example submarines and has multiple improvements under the hood. Also, it's not a finished product and won't be for a while.

[@EnDSchultz1]

Jiří Fišer My understanding is that it has been updated to take advantage of 64 bit OS's as well as DX11.

[@shotgun9922]

Jiří Fišer My FSX runs actually fine. It really depends on your computer wether the loading time is long or short. I also got FSX installed on a separate Hard Drive.

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@Skysprunk]

Soooo... Nothing changed with Prepar3d why am I gonna want to buy this if its FSX with another name?

[@bebook2012]

Is there going to be a app android/linux/mac/ipad

[@novemberdelta1282]

Well, mobile devices can't handle that much stuff, so no.

[@AlexFHDVideos2]

It looks as though REX is used for the Sky, various add on aircraft as well.

[@nickc.8814]

Is this compatible with Mac?

[@nickc.8814]

***** thanks for telling me. That's too bad.

[@lukaar929]

Nick C. BootCamp FTW

[@iRyanInSpaceN1701D]

cost way too much 199.99?

[@Legoflightwars24]

I'll be getting the $50 academic version soon! :D

[@dukeskylar]

You must be getting wrong infos. Take a look at their website. 50 bux is 1 time payment only

[@ElHyperion]

I wish some simulator developer finally focused on adding more Russian planes, than just those F-22s, F-35s etc... Why no MiG-31/29? Su-35? Or the beautiful helicopters such as Ka-52 or Mi-24? If anyone knows any nice release of those, please tell me

[@ElHyperion]

I know, my point was a bit more objective, talking about modern sim devs in general who rather focus on the western planes that it became a bit boring for me... Imagine Sukhoi or Tupolev developing their own sim! :D

[@harshlens]

Objective... really ? You're complaining like a bitch and also smartass, this is Lockheed Martin product !

[@ElHyperion]

I feel sorry for you to call me a bitch and smartass for a simple constructive criticism and for having an opinion on a flight simulator. Did I really say that I want Lockheed Martin to include Flankers in their flight simulator?

[@runninggames771]

Jiří Fišer lol there is something called fucking dcs do your research next time.

[@ElHyperion]

runninggames771 There is something called fucking calm the fuck down, is it such a problem to type it politely? I meant russian planes for X-Plane and FSX, not a separate simulator. DCS won't give me a Tu-444 or Sukhoi Super Jet 100 airliner

[@matthayes5854]

What piracy? how is making a patch for fsx piracy?

[@N0616JCProductions]

Oh they will, don't you worry about that. Also, you have a better temper than a controller that was talking about an AAL flight landing at KJFK: /watch?v=ereeYM0cNGc is that video. And I salute you for that. Still I would said this is a simulator. Also, KJFK is my second home base.

[@guitarplayerforu]

For all you guys saying fsx engine! Prepar3D is based on esp technology, never before available to public, fsx never used esp! Esp is what all the motion sims use and military and all training schools! I have Xplane 10 and the dynamics of xplane are way better than fsx, however people say prepar3D may look the same or better but the dynamics of prepar3D blow both fsx and xplane 10 out the water! Im gonna buy it

[@williamaviation1565]

Is this compatible with Windows 8.1 ? i5 4440 @310ghz HD readeon 8570 8 ram windows 8.1 64 bit please help fsx crashes

[@danielkoiki245]

No

[@jerrodcorey25]

Source code bought from Microsoft and tweaked to LM specs. No difference from FSX SP2 with FULL ORBX scenery installed

[@randydonnelly7076]

Most aircraft designed for FSX will work just fine in P3D.

[@ateh1]

no that was for FSX .... :)

[@lucasemepe]

What exactly is this... An fsx with all carenado's planes, rex, photoreal sceneries but named prepar3d?

[@digitalbios]

3:10 on-forward: "we never forget who we're working for". What a shame Microsoft.

[@Pwnzistor]

Prepar3d performs much better than FSX- it's an updated and optimized version of FSX essentially.

[@ralph_f16simulator]

Maybe, maybe LHM's P3D has a fully functional F16 in the near future?

[@ammaram47]

this simulator is partly owned and designed by microsoft

[@Pixel968]

So lockheed martin buy the engine of fsx to do prepar3d? I hope they did some modifications... I know about flight. "why would Rod Machado, a flight instructor hold lessons within the "game" " --> money. "then why pilots use it as a learning tool?" --> i'm a pilot. Me and most people in my aeroclub (dunno if it's that word in english) agree that it's a game.

[@VexedPikachu]

Good for you, mines a lot less and it runs as smooth as butter with just about everything maxed out except water.....A lot of the settings are actually higher than what FSX offers as well such as global texture resolution, level of detail radius, water, antigen levels

[@JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

To all of you think is just "FSX with a different name" think again. Although it is built from FSX, correct, but this is for more proffesional use, more stable than FSX, runs better than FSX, this is not intended for home entertainment

[@ChrissonatorOFL]

I'd love to buy it, but if it's not to be used for entertainment purposes, I see no need, which is unfortunate since I hear great things about Prepar3D in terms of improved performance, etc.

[@fabianlehr292]

Is it much better than fsx??

[@jviation737]

People say it is

[@flightrulez]

Willing to dish out $200 to use it?

[@FSXtremeVideos]

No it doesn't. This is the FSX engine but improved. Its basically a newer version of FSX with newer features. You know that as soon as Prepar3D v2.0 is released, so many people will go for that over fsx because there are tons of add ons that support Prepar3D. PMDG, Flytampa, Flightsim Commander, REX, Orbx. Everyone will eventually go for Prepar3D.

[@PchanStitch]

Technically, though, that argument could be considered to any game, period. Think of all the people who spend weeks upon weeks modding Skyrim and questing in it, or compete for recognition in Battlefield 3. Gaming in itself is a way of life, but the programs used are still the games, regardless if you're slaying dragons or flying a Cessna. :p

[@bluefireyourself]

Its 49 bucks for the acedmic version

[@M0DiFiEDZ]

I want this simulator.

[@lucienpapercraft5171]

That cessna with gear tho...

[@FSXtremeVideos]

I think Lockheed Martin is careful with putting that in. For instance, the only thing they have to put in for the F-22 to work properly is the exterior and cockpit design, which is nothing special, new or classified. Then they have to intergrate the flight dynamics of the aircraft, in this case, the F-22's super maneuverability. The material that makes is stealth is classified, and they don't show that in this simulator.

[@dimasrahadian]

is it just me or what. X-Plane / FSX graphics looks better?

[@shadows987987]

$49 a month isn't it?

[@anonymous10011]

Whoops, sorry, thought you said "how is this?", my bad...

[@ateh1]

I am at work and not at home, sorry. :( I can try to contact you later or tomorrow ...

[@strikeeagle345]

lockheedMartin bought the rights to FSX and built off of it. you can get it at the prepar3d website

[@edenbriand8]

Yeah it's a flight sim... actually, it looks exactly like FSX without REX..

[@ijjpfsx17]

But... This is exactly FSX with addons...

[@ateh1]

recently I purchased SBGL by Tropical Sim ... my framerate around Rio de Janeiro dropped to 4-8 fps (!!!), I couldn't believe this happened to my i7 core pc ... I uninstalled that immediately.

[@woweffet]

9.90 monthly OR one time 50 dollar. Doesnt matter...Its worth every cent by the factor of 4. It only gets better and better. Get it. In a year u wont remember fsx;)

[@TankNutJohn89]

How about the description? Visit prepar3d.com.

[@ateh1]

Just think of all the video artists, using FSX to express their creativity, I don't think they would consider FSX as a game, but more as a tool ... ;) Anyway, just my own thoughts ... :)

[@ateh1]

btw, sorry my english is not at its best .. :)

[@Napoleonic_S]

wondering if that F-35 is as real as it gets lol... honestly I doubt it... how ironic that will be though...

[@cieloaltoa3405]

Is a FSX copy

[@nixiang915]

Kind of feel like...lockheed made a mod for fsx...and that's it...

[@tomasflow95]

I want it for my computer :D

[@Jonathan.R.Pereira]

In that case my 1000$ PC beats the heck out of your 5000$ PC ... Prepar3D Has been working well for me, I got great performance gains after switching from FSX (Mind you with all the Optimizations I could do) .. I can imagine what the performance would be like in Prepar3D after some of the same optimizations :P ... Specs : GTX 670 Direct CU II 3570K @ Stock frequencies 8Gigs of 1600Mhz Ram

[@Napoleonic_S]

but 100% realistic maneuverability can also be a classified thing, it can be used to analyze the performance and limitation of F-22 and used against them all at uber cheap cost, countries like china for example would love it lol. and then the avionics and other man to machine interfaces they are usually classifieds; there is a reason why we haven't seen any AESA radar in consumer simulators. but then again I'm sure these companies and governments are not that dumb lol.

[@Eurekaairline9205]

I want to become a Pilot

[@gizmosellschickens]

its the 64 bit interested in prepar 3d

[@10svenk]

website

[@ateh1]

it is much more than this ...

[@JesusSanchez-re8br]

But it's not available to the public? it's very very expensive, normal people cannot afford it? where can you buy it? the marketing strategy of Lockheed Martin is more than bad, is terrible. Why this simulator is not in every computer store of the world? These guys know very well how to create aircraft but I think they are really bad selling computer programs to the people. They need help in that urgently.

[@VexedPikachu]

Must be your PC then....

[@jman036]

umm, just a joke man didn't mean to upset you

[@hellzone100]

Your $200 program is not wroth it. Get it to run a VALID FPS with my Hardware and i might consider actually buying it myself. Reprogram this thing for X64, take advantage of all my hardware.

[@jman036]

Well I mean it sorta is in real life :? It is kinda hard to play a game in my dreams :S I personally prefer cappuccino over coffee but its whatever.

[@Nahid125]

Looks like X-Plane 10

[@DiamondAviation727]

+Nahid125 no it doesnt

[@alphafoxtrot787]

DiamondAviation Minecraft and FSX!! maybe because you havent played xplane 10 and compared this

[@zebroum]

Someone bought the rights from Microsoft flight simulator. Sorry guys, the future is X-Plane. Thank you MFS, for all those years...
