Anybody tried it out? reviews? information? sounds like an FSX engine thats actually updated with better graphics/flight model... maybe that means it won't crash as often?
I've been debating picking it up -- anybody know if it works with PE?
Prepar3d?

Re: Prepar3d?
P3D works with PE, but we don't have an installer for it yet. Zane posted a note in the AVSIM forum about how to get it worked with P3D, I'm sure he can post a link for you if you're interested.
Basically, you install it for FSX, then apply some changes to the P3D config file (one reference to a DLL to kill AI traffic, and another reference to the PE transponder and com panel). Then, you copy some aircraft over to get the basic 3d model sets for multiplayer aircraft.
I would wait for a while until they put out a more comprehensive update. My understanding is that it hasn't diverged all that much from the FSX code base yet. If they continue to support and develop it, it might go in an interesting direction, but they aren't moving with much of a pace yet from what I've heard.
