Some previous simulators - including the original FSX - were barely usable even with a state of the art system at release. Kind regards, Michael Yes. I think when FSX came out we were quite a bit lower down in the hardware performance curve back then. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com

Kind regards, Michael Correct I for one will go for V5 🙂 Happy to have multi simulators installed amazing times for us virtual pilots 🙂 André

When FSX was developed the hardware philosophy was core speed. Back then the idea was single core cpu pushing above 7 ghz at some point ind the near future. The same year FSX was released Intel released their Core 2 Duo, starting the multi core race and lower clock speeds than expected.

April 9, 20206 yr Commercial Member As I understand it, all airports of version 4.5 are installed without problems? Only without new features. (inclined runways and PBR grass) In jurisprudence, there is a principle - you look for the person who benefits.
April 9, 20206 yr I know Tues is right around the corner, but I ask if all 24000 airports have been updated to include new parking and such? The reason I’m asking is for years my home airport (KRME) has had no parking besides the single fuel box...frustrating because all the traffic programs don’t include traffic for it due to no parking.

I would like to know also! Really annoying flying into airports and the data does not match the Navigraph charts! 🤨 Would expect from a professional simulator to have at least this data correct!

April 9, 20206 yr I might actually purchase this and give it a go. And I’m a dedicated XP guy since way back in fs9. I once tried p3d v4 buy it only lasted 2 weeks, was too stuttery. And looked bland.

My CPU and motherboard are now 8 years old but I'm on my 3rd GPU during its lifespan. The GTX 970 is the only one I kind of regret buying because I didn't pay attention to the fact that it is basially a 3.5 + 0.5 GB card, rendering all ram abover 3.5 virtually usesless because the last 500 MB are abysmally slow. Currently I have the GTX 1660Ti which was kind of a compromise, because I knew it was going to be the last upgrade before motherboard, cpu and ram get changed in the not so distant future.

After watching that video I had to google "timelapse cloud videos" to see what the clouds should look like in time lapse. I was amazed at how close ASCA was. Except for the animation. Didn't I read that there was an option to not use TrueSky? What do you get if you go that route? Hook Larry Hookins Oh!
