Any reason NOT to upgrade to P3D 4.5 now?

Ok Thanks all. I think I'll be giving it a go soon.

As  new P3D user, this is my first update I'll be appying. Can you tell me what happens to my scenery addons config and .cfg tweaks during the update? Do they all get vaped and need re-entering?

 

Start by only updating the Client.

No damage to your scenery and other add-ons.

Cool. I suppose it comes down to when the patch is likely to be released. If it's months away I may take the plunge soon. But Environment Force is looking tempting and needs 4.5 🙂

 

Both 4.4 and 4.5 are supported when Environment Force is released.

I updated the Client Scenery and Content as I only did the Client  in 4.4, but now I can have PBR, with my PMDG aircraft and soon GSX2.

There is a Hotfix for 4.5 coming soon, so better to wait..

Anyway, REX EF is not released yet, as is the hotfix for v4.5, so it´s better to wait.

Cheers, Ed

Just a +1 here on lower frames and occasional blurry textures after 2+ hours of flight. Didn't see any obvious problems with VFR A2A Cherokee, but with the performance heavy jets in my case. The issues I've had are gone after reverting to 4.4, so I'm hanging on for the hotfix.

4.4 runs fine for me, so that's my reason for not updating to 4.5

I got my frame rate issue in 4.5 sorted out,( Sound device settings) but I have a lot of small pauses. Hopefully the hot fix will address those as well.
