There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"Is there a major update forthcoming?"
Yes.
Yes.
Time of release; unknown.
Will you have to buy the new version; yes.
Why do you have to buy the new version; because its an entirely new platform designed to run in 64 bit, with quad core computers (up to 4 computer cores or perhaps more) and using as much RAM as you can put in your machine. The platform had to be totally rewritten and at this min, it is still being rewritten, thus its not ready. Hopefully this year.
This will be like going from from a Volkswagen Beetle (1970's) to a Corvette, but with Prepar3D 1 to Prepar3D TURBO.
No more staring at jittery low frame rates....
Perhaps they should call it Prepar3D Quad or perhaps P3D-Q (quad core computer useable).

Lets hope that the new "improved" P3D will still accept port overs from FSX!!!! NC
I believe Wesley Bard gauranteed this already, that P3D would, for now, always support FSX models as well as FS9 models though the performance and functionalities of FS9 models are of course slightly limited in P3D just as they are in FSX; clouds visibility through props, etc.
