That video made me start to wonder if electric paramotors are coming down the pike and lo an behold, yes!

I'm going to have to start a good diet.   

Another one with a very cheap priced motor

Yazzy's post mirrors what I've read about P3D. 

I have a pretty significant investment in FSX so I haven't upgraded; FSX meets all my needs at the moment from a time/cost perspective.  But if I spent a lot of time in civilian simming, I'd invest in P3D, but be prepared to spend a LOT more money pimping it out.

I will say that I have overwhelming felt that my investment in add-ons had greatly enhanced my FSX experience.  Once you try it with upgraded terrain and a PMDG aircraft, it's pretty hard to go back to vanilla.

Some of those terrain companies have little trial terrains so you can see for yourself before you buy.

I just purchased P3d4. My orbs and mega earth scenery all ported over from FSX, so no additional expense there. However, you will have to buy a lot of your aircraft again. If you want to check out megaearth scenery, I am doing a virtual tour of CONUS in  Piper Cub and posting screenshots at the Mutlley's Hanger website

I've been on P3D since I got back into the hobby a few years ago but IMO P3D going 64 bit made FSX even more obsolete. Would have been worth upgrading just to make OOMs go away. I had to rebuy a few addons when it went to 64-bit but luckily most companies offered the upgrade for free.

If you don't have it already, I highly recommend FreeMesh. Works great with OrbX Global in areas not covered by a regional mesh. Warning..its a huge download.
