Pointrelease for P3D.

Yes, just noticed.....will download tomorrow.
-
Seems there‘s already an open beta patch for Active Sky with 5.2 compatability.
-
Yes.
But I will rather wait until FSLabs and MadDog works.
Karl

Always good to wait a month or two if possible before major updates like this works for me in many ways
Time for Addons to be updated-WX Radar etc
Any major bugs show up

PS Nicks (Orbyx moderator) method of installing a P3D Hotfix update works for me
Someone could put a link if it is thought worthwhile

Actually, not sure if I should update at all. Aircraft are now coming in to MSFS very fast.
I was waiting for PMDGs DC-6 to be updated to V5 but it looks like as if it comes to MSFS faster. I still fly FSLABs A320 a lot in P3D as well as Leonardos MadDog, but I don't need to update for it.
Also, the update process is tricky as I have a lot of custom tweaks in V5. I could just update the Client, though, as this is pretty straight forward and updates the weather engine.
Updating the Scenery would make a reinstallation of Tongass necessary, also the scenery.cfg will be reset. Updating the Content will leave you with defaults for, as an example, effects and textures that have been changed by 3rd party software. Means reinstalling those addons.

Definitely not going to update. Yep DC-6 for MSFS but there are already many good planes done and more coming. Turned on the old sim once to check something in the last 4 months and was so disappointed in just about every regard as compared to MSFS. By the end of this year it will be format G:\the old sim and saving a 1TB SSD cause it is a waste of space.
-
I updated. Mistry Moorings (checked PAKT, CGA and Misty) - OK (I had manually loaded it in 5.1 so I don't know if that made a difference). P3D v5.2 - OK but a touch slow in loading. Active Sky BETA - OK. Maddog X - updated. F1 GTN750 updated to 1.21. Accu-Feel - OK. Chase plane - updated. RAAS - OK. GSX2 - OK. Haven't checked all my add-on aircraft yet, but the Carenado C185 and PMDG's worked.

Updated to 5.2 now a week ago.....I notice better performance in VR, so I‘m happy with it so far.
RXP GTN‘s and ASP3D work. Only the Milviz weather radar does not.
The VR performance is really much better now for me. I have integrated some camera and FLIR sensor views into the VC cockpit of the Cerasim UH60 Blackhawk. one of these views is a split screen of 4 cameras for checking mainrotor, tailrotor and the two side doors, which are quite a stress test for the sim.
Activating this split screen in previous versions in VR turned the sim into a slideshow. In v5.2 in VR I only get a few stutters, but the sim is now running quite stable and fluid........
Also LM a few other items for VR users for better comfort in using the sim, e.g. Onscreen messages like the weather injection messages of ASP3D are now displayed in the VR lenses......
-
You may want to try driver 471.11 (if you use NVIDIA). It is said to fix some VR problems in MSFS, maybe it's also better in P3D?
Karl
-
Yes, I have it already installed. It should fix possible stutters concerning SteamVR if GPU monitoring software installed on Systems.
The netter v5.2 performance was already with the previous nvidia driver noticable.
-
Hi Klaus,
Have they fixed the pixellations issues that used to occur between the clouds, the terrain horizon and objects when the intersected each other?

Well for the first time since P3D arrived on the market, I will NOT be downloading. In fact, I have just finished moving all P3D items to an old drive and removed it from the computer. There is no going back.
-
Old sim all uninstalled, add-ons removed, drive formatted etc etc. And saved almost 1.5tb in SSD space for a Sim and accessories that hadn't been used for 6 months or more. That reclaimed space can be much better utilized. All to say the old sim installation is totally gone.. and really for me there is no need or reason to update or get a new version of an old sim that has the same old problems and outdated graphics. Might as work in the new sim that will be around for a long time rather working with an old SIM.

So how do you fly the MFC tours in MSFS then? As an example let's take MFC0054 leg 24 from PF03 to PF47.

Well, I found this an interesting thread for those still using the „old SIM“. Some might do this for reasons...
And I might be willing to share my experiences with the actual version. But if this is not wanted by explaining how to save wasted space on a ssd, then we will not........
-
Well MSFS has most of the landing locations that have been used as per previous rtmm locations.. the locations but not the buildings where applicable. Might miss having a lit barrel and no runway markers but again find that vanilla MSFS is still way better than the previous sims loaded to the hilt with add-on scenery of every and any sort. And really, in the past 6/7months haven't even turned on the old sim.
-
I'm still unsure what to do. My V5.1 HF is perfectly set up, going to 5.2 is quite some work to do.
I could wait for V6 and do a complete installation. The drawback is that I will probably loose some more aircraft. I have already lost many when I went from V5 to V4. Who knows if in V6 RealAirs Duke is still working or Just Flights C-46 or Flight 1s Islander, or Aerosofts Catalina. Even worse, who knows if those aircraft work in V5.2?
I stay with what I have and will decide later. I have everything I need in order to fly in Alaska visiting RTMMs scenery. Just missing some Milviz aircraft like the Beaver and the Twin Otter from Aerosoft.

New experiences come so thick and fast with MSFS 2020 that I have not had time to return to P3D and XPlane
So by default they(P3D and XPlane ) are dying for me
Sad but true
The Customer is a brutal judge!

You miss people they have a Cocpit and stay on FSX or P3D or Xplane ...
i have P3Dv4 and v5 + MSFS2020
for P3D only for the 737 NGX and NGXu to do some flights .. 1hour and half maximum ...

If any of you did the update to 5.2 (HF1) not only for the Client but also for the Scenery I would be interested in how it went. Are there any incompatibilities you know of? Like elevation problems? I ask this because LM made some changes to the scenery in Alaska.
Thanks,
Karl
-
I made the update to V5.2 HF1 today, Client, Content and Scenery. It worked nicely.

Those of you who have moved to MSFS2020 how have you dealt with the poor ground handling during takeoff and landing. For me the aircraft is all over the place when on the ground and the speed is above 30 knots. I can barely keep the aircraft on the runway......

This sounds like a topic for the MSFS2020 thread. ;)

I'm sticking with P3D for four reasons. First, I've got too many $$$ invested in it to let it go so easily. Second, when I see how many add-ons for MSFS are for sale I can't help but wonder how satisfactory MSFS actually is in many respects. Third, when I read the MFSF forums there are many problems with it too; so it's not just P3D that has problems. Fourth, when MSFS has updates, they sometimes break the coding add-ons require. Losing aircraft or add-ons and waiting hopefully for updates, or stopping developers from producing add-ons midstream in their development is a problem no matter what sim you use.
From what I read here and elsewhere, flying VFR at lower altitudes with MSFS beats P3D visually. I tend to fly mostly higher than 10K so I imagine that makes little difference for me. Besides, having lived in SE Alaska I like all the detail RTMM has invested with their time/talent in creating (THANK YOU). If it all could be produced in MSFS then maybe I'll have a look.
Congrats to those who went MSFS and love it (which is the point of simming). I'm staying with P3D.

This thread should be discussing the Prepar3d v5.2 update. Please keep threads on topic. Thanks.
(It makes it easier to find answers etc later.) ;)

Hi,
I do not know why so many people here and on other forums are having problems with 5.2 HF1. Following installation instructions to the letter, as well as having the proper hardware solves these problems.
