Thanks, John H. I would suggest installing now. P3DV4.3 is worth it, it is stable, smooth running, especially on a newer gaming computer, even my year old computer with a slower cpu than more current systems. I have had no issues since installing it a year ago and many hours of enjoyment. The cloud shadows look great, few bugs (Phoenix Sky Harbor airport is missing its control tower, only real issue I have noticed, since that is my home airport). I especially enjoy MSE's photoreal scenery with it and photoreal scenery I originally made with FSEarthtiles in FSX, like my Colorado scenery here in Avsim's library. Xplane11 is also worth it on a new system, I run both sims although I have more add on aircraft for P3DV4.3. John
October 27, 20187 yr As long as development continues, there's always going to be a new version on the horizon. 4.3 is in a really good place right now. No need to wait, IMHO.

Thanks, John H. Based on previous patterns, I would expect to see P3D v4.4 release by end of year. I would also expect version 5 to release in the third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2019.

Wish they did Mexico..... P. I am using the default KPHX, I am interested in an updated airport, preferably freeware. Xplane11 has a great rendition of KPHX which I enjoy alot, very detailed, yet very framerate friendly, it has lots of static aircraft on display to go along with it, and the downtown Phoenix buildings as well. John Edit: As usual the Avsim Library provides, I found some Sky Harbor scenery for FSX that works in P3DV4, and adds the missing control tower back to Phoenix Sky Harbor Edited October 27, 20187 yr by John_Cillis
October 28, 20187 yr When Pete Dowson is on vacation a new version is close to releasing. I thought LM said this year for P3D4.4? 4.3 is the best now but performance with dynamic lights has become worse for me and at sunset and sunrise also low FPS.
