Time to move on to V5
« on: May 03, 2020, 07:12:34 AM »
For me it's now time to leave V4.5 and migrate everything to V5. Will take some time, many sceneries and planes to be uninstalled and the installed again in V5.

My first 1 hour leg for MFC was perfect, I will not fly in V4 anymore.

I'm just grabbing my planes from my V4.5 Simobjects and pasting them into the V5 simobjects. What you will lose are EFFECTS and GAUGES if you have special ones like I do. I just zipped the original Effects and Graphics folders in V5 and copy/pasted from V4.5 contents and overwrote the V5 effects and graphics ... most everything is working.

Ditto Karl..  the old sim gonzo: uninstalled and the other folders deleted.

Doug, I did the same as you did, just not overwriting any files. This makes sure that V5 specific files with the same name have priority


And, there is more as just effects and gauges. E.G. fonts, sound and scripts.

Enhanced atmospherics does contribute so much to the immersion of the sim.

Or put all of the folders them elsewhere: IE: Outside the sim and either build an add-on.xml for them to fire or use the sim .cfg files to set up alternative paths to these: Effects, Fonts, Gauges, Scripts, Sound and of course the simobject locations (paths) - so your sim can find them and fire them.

You are right Norm. That's a bit more work to do, so I just copied.
