February 12, 20188 yr I see in the change notes some optimization has been done for dynamic lighting, I’ll be interested to see how much performance has increased. Lots of fixes for time zones too, perhaps that will fix the issues some people have with trans Atlantic flight and ctd’s over Labrador.

February 12, 20188 yr I've downloaded the update but i'm going to wait to see what other people make of it first. i.e. is it worth updating looking at the changelog i'm not so sure?

February 12, 20188 yr >>>then we can install only the client, like v4.0 to v4.1 update? yes, you can, but you will not have the new updtes in the Content and in the Scenery. Yet these optional. See here: https://www.prepar3d.com/news/2018/02/114621/ Edmundo Azevedo
February 12, 20188 yr Darn it! Why no updates to airports? A.

February 12, 20188 yr Looks like quite an under whelming patch. At least it means we can get FSlabs patch now

February 12, 20188 yr Wow, lots to like in this one compared to 4.1. Ones I like: 1. Minor improvements to terrain paging performance. Hopefully this will help with the slow autogen loading on arrival. 2. DL improvements. 3. Cloud shadows fix for multiple views. Hopefully when turning my head with Track IR I can now see consistent shadows instead if them disappearing. 4. Ultra water performance with 10 series Nvidia cards. 5. All the time zone and DST fixes.

February 12, 20188 yr If you have ANY add-ons that require a specific P3D V4.x version, then you need to contact the vendor, not LM. There are MANY 3rd party add-ons that do version checking ... a short list ChasePlane F1 GTN 750/650 HiFi AS4 REX Weather Radar FSUIPC (yes Pete is on vacation and will be back 12/20) and more ... There were many fixes that several 3rd party vendors were waiting for in order to complete and/or update their products. There was some Dynamic Lights performance tuning that in my testing did help performance but don't expect miracles. CUDA libraries was also updated to v8.0 which should benefit nVidia 10 series GPUs (CUDA is used for water processing, Ultra). I would STRONGLY ADVISE you wait for your 3rd party vendors to have updates available BEFORE you update to V4.2. Cheers, Rob.

Pete already said last week that the newest version of fsuipc will work with 4.2. Eric
