Great stuff mate. Theyre pretty quick with getting you the forum access usually

[Chris Sykes]

Im really tempted to get P3D but was wondering what licences have you all gone for?

[TSR2]

Most folk have gone for academic I believe.

Technically we are using it to learn how to fly, which is... Technically correct

Do we get student discounts on anything?

Probably not, but since the weekend I find myself in a darkened room a lot, listening to Yes, eating pot noodles and drinking Tesco Esssentials lager.

[Chris Sykes]

Grand thats what i wanted to hear, didnt want to fork out the pro version if we didnt need to!

[DaveG]

Academic version here too

BTW, V1.4 is just around the corner, so it may be worth hanging on a bit as it's a 10gb download

[Chris Sykes]

Crikey! 10gb? Might do that! BTW whats everyones specs on their PC's who run this? Would like to see whats their systems are running this at? As i keep pricing up a Scan overclocked X79 bundle to replace my Q9650.

Hi Chris,

I'm running a Intel i5 2500K with 8GB and a NVidia GeForce 560Ti. All my disks are SATA 6GB/s; 2 x 120GB OCZ Agility 3's; 1 x 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 and 1 x 640GB 7200RPM Hitachi HDD. All of my FS stuff is on the SSD's, as is the OS.

Not withstanding the SSD's, the CPU / GPU / Memory is fairly modest by todays standards.
