are we still going to need 3rd party reshade products to enhance visuals?

In XP 11 the answer was YES. I can extrapolate that you will have more options to make the sim look the way you prefer with a 3rd party addon like PTA.

In the interview, Adam Breed also mentioned that P3D v4 will be used for a while before version 5 will see a release.

Prepar3D v4 still has a lot of life left in it and it will likely be the longest active release we have done.

I think that v5 will not be released before mid-2020, and if you ask me, I actually prefer a 3-year release cycle over the previous 1.8 year, even though I still use v3. Imagine if LM released v5 in mid-2019 - most add-on developers have not yet fully gotten warm with version 4, and they would need to invest a disproportional amount of time to make their add-ons compatible with the new version if it were released so soon.

Don't think I have seen this ask.  Will PBR fix the sunlight and shadow effects sometimes going away when you are panning the view?

I think we will still need reshade software but we wont need reflection models like those that came from TomatoShade.

I think Rob Ainscough confirmed that  the cloud shadow bug hasn't been resolved 

No, that's a projection accuracy issue that can be solved but at the cost of significant reduction in FPS ... so in other words is a performance compromise we'll have to live with for now.

Cheers, Rob

Thanks, Bummer,  What about cockpit and plane sunlight disappearing when panning?

Rob, during testing how did you get on with VA Interface?
