February 13, 201511 yr I am really enjoying version 2.5 - P3D is coming along very nicely and I am so pleased to be part of this journey. Colors have become more vivid, and compared to the bland coloring in the initial versions, this is a totally new world. The lighting at dawn and sunset is much improved. And now daylight feels like daylikt, unlike the gloomy winther daylight of v2.4. And even with quite high settings my dear PMDG 777, performance is quite smooth. Now I am just waiting for ORBX compatibility. And at some point I Really wished LM would enhance the precipitation effects - the snow and rain looks quite horrible! However, I dont wanna end on a negative note - prepar3d v2.5 is amazing! Well done LM! Enclosed a few screens, all v2.5 vanilla except the one with ORBX Norway which is from v2.4
February 13, 201511 yr Nice shots! Weren't you in the Matrix, Thomas Anderson? Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

February 13, 201511 yr Great shots Thomas. BTW, you can get improved rain/snow effects in P3D through PrecipitFX.
February 13, 201511 yr Yes PrecipitFX is the answer and for $13.00 USD you can't want for more. http://fsfx.oldprop.com/en/precipitFX/
February 13, 201511 yr Just tried v 2.5, for the first time, after v2.4, very pleased, even on my modest rig, just awaiting Orbx and ASN now! Cheers, Mal... Mal Walsh
February 13, 201511 yr Author Yes Phillip, the 777 behaves very well in P3D. Generally between 20-30 FPS with high settings (so a big penalty compared to less demanding aircraft, but still super flyable). If I turn the settings down a few notches I can maintain 30 fps. And I have never had a OOM or crash, something thats a big problem for me with FSX Steam. The shadows are a nice bonus too Awesome shots dude. Does the 777 work good in 2.5 for you?
February 13, 201511 yr Very nice pics Thomas, thanks for sharing Yes PrecipitFX is the answer and for $13.00 USD you can't want for more Is that the same thing as Immersion, Rain and smoke effects? Never used it, must try it

February 14, 201511 yr Author Ok, also after a long flight (8 hours or more), still no OOM / problem? Dont have the time or patience for 8 hours flights..prefer to keep the flights short and sweet even with the 777. But no OOM within 2 hours at least. That was definately not posible with FSX on high to max settings
February 14, 201511 yr Agreed! 2.5 has been the best update to date. Crisp clear graphics, smooth performance and great HDR with Rob's tweaks! Awesome! Simon
February 14, 201511 yr Ok, also after a long flight (8 hours or more), still no OOM / problem? Just did 7.5 hour flight, CYYZ-EDDM, with the PMDG777 in 2.5, no addons besides the 777. And no OOM.
February 14, 201511 yr Awesome ScreenShots. Can you tell me what settings do you have Shadows and Lighting in 2.5 How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
February 14, 201511 yr Nice shots! Weren't you in the Matrix, Thomas Anderson? I'm going to enjoy watching you... crash, Mr. Anderson. If it ain't broke, i fix it until it is...
