Today I got a hold of my friend who built my computer (he know way more about computers than I do) and asked him if my computer can handle P3D v5 and he told me that he don't see why my computer wouldn't handle v5, so I am going to go ahead and buy it. Now I just have one question. Can v4 and v5 be on the same computer/drive at the same time? I would hate to delete v4 completely then find out v5 don't work right or something like that. Then I wouldn't have v4 to fall back on because I uninstalled it before installing v5.

I can honestly say that even with Orbx Global base textures and openLC that P3D v5 is starting to look very nice. I can use this alone for IFR flying tubeliners. But for VFR and general aviation True Earth is a must. With Orbx full regions being in between the 2, I don't really see a reason for them anymore, can anyone tell me what added benefits that I would get from using an Orbx full region vs using Orbx Global Base with openLC?

Hi all- I've got V5 installed along with ORBX Central 4.1.6 and all thats fine. Nothing else. ORBX Central has created the V5 folder under ORBX Library with the two installed airports, KSAN and KTVL which are compatible according to the ORBX list. Installed and verified both of those. Green circles indicate installed. Open V5, neither are available. Open Lorbi's Manager under packages, nothing there. Documents > V5 Addons is empty. Checked ORBX forums this morning regarding this, including the directions that have been posted here several times and didn't find a reference to this, yet. Probably something simple but can't seem to get a…

Hi anyone using EZDOK V3 with P3DV5 any conflict?

When I upgraded to Win 10, I reinstalled v4.5. I then calibrated all my three joysticks in Windows game controllers first, and then assigned the various axis to the sim's functions. I recalibrated a second time to make sure that Windows and the sim are all synchronized with respect to joysticks. My throttle quadrant, as well as my other controllers, are the same ones I used in P3D 4.5 in Win7. I have Xplane in Win 10, and things are fine here, too. All my axis work well, except for the trim wheel. When I have the trim wheel assigned in the sim, the trim behavior in the sim( in all the aircrafts) is erratic. The trim tab in the sim simply goes crazy as soon as …

Anyone have an idea as to how to delete a grayed out area in the v5 scenery library? I get an error message that p3d can find this file everytime I open P3d, and there is no way that I can see to get rid of it. But, there must be. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Okay, I have resolved this. The path shown in the Scenery Library was wrong. I went into the xml file and fixed the path and everything is good to go now. Cheers, Pete

Hi, Bit of a long shot but I was just wondering if anybody had both of these sceneries and which one is the better buy. I know the FSDT version has been out for a long time and the Latin vfr version only a couple of months, but has the airport changed much since FSDT release. I would like to get this airport addon but i'm unsure which would be the better option Thanks

1)What sloped airports have been added besides VNKT? 2)what mesh LOD resolution is used in P3Dv5?

weather seems to work in custom with opus

It's up on the store now (it's very slow at the time of writing): https://www.prepar3d.com/prepar3d-store/

Just got the v5 ready to run. Everything works on v4. V5 keep Crashing after loading screen is finished at 100%. Also something strange is happening every start of the app makes the sim generate scenery things ( I can't recall the name sorry ). Everything is out of the box. Regards S.

What's a good AI traffic program that fully supports and is 100% compatible with Prepar3D v5?

Could a kind P3d v5 user please post shots ( with default scenery, at most + ORBX Global and / or Vector ) of approaches to: LPMN ( Amendoeira ) final rw 03 LPSO ( Ponte de Sor ) final rw 03 Thank you!

Hello Please would someone inform me if TrueSky in P3D v5 has a intregrated weather engine to generate live weather whilst flying? Clive Alexander

My texture settings keep changing from 2048x2048, 1024x1024 or 512x512... it varies, anyone else having this issue? I have plenty of vram to spare.

I had this same exact issue with FSX before I moved over to P3D. There seems to be some elevation issues a KPDX. I do have ORBX scenery installed, but disabling it does not solve the issue either. How can I fix this?

I recently installed P3Dv4 and Ultimate Traffic Live. All UTL aircraft are shown properly, however the ATC still speaks to the stock AI traffic such as Orbit, etc. How can I remove the stock AI traffic files so that ATC actually manages UTL please? Thanks for any help.

If I have both P3d 4.5 and P3d 5.0 on my computer (different SSD's), how do I share my ORBX Library so that both sims can access it and use it? I hope there's a way. Stan

Hello guys, a generic Q related to updates for ENV series stuff: After updating any or multiple ENV apps through ENVDIR, is it necesary to reapply your settings into the sim? E.g.: You launch ENVDIR updater and ENVSOUND gets an update. Do you have to hit the install to the sim button for the updated sounds to be applied into the sim or it's enough that you updated it??? BR, Gerald

Vanilla install, no addons. It's weird because the in-game overlay said 3.7 GB out of 6.7 VRAM (GTX1080), framerates were superb (70's), I was cruising along and then it just stopped. "Not responding" is what task manager told me. My Core0 was pegged. Sliders pegged right (almost all of them, save for things like draw distance), but I would think if that was the problem I wouldn't have had framerates in the 70's. Any thoughts?

Anyone with V5 noticing stutters? I'm getting many.

Has anyone noticed major differences in terrain features in v5? Flying out of KIND there are two reservoirs in the area which are missing in the latest version. I thought that v5 had improved terrain data. Have also brought this up on LM forum.

Hi folks, - I am not using any external program to limit frames. - Fps are set to Unlimited within P3D. ....And whatever the plane, weather, location, season... my frames are limited @30. Any idea?

Can somebody confirm this.
