New runway textures are nice as well. Somebody went airport to airport updating the scenery.

April 15, 20206 yr Oh wow, one of the airports they updated is a CFB Greenwood (CYZX), a Canadian Air Base in in Nova Scotia. In P3DV4 it had no buildings, and no parking spots except the fuel pump. I never expected this to be ever be touched up in the base game. I mean I'll be replacing it immediately as soon as MAIW is updated to V5, but still it's nice to see.

April 15, 20206 yr What about Johannesburg? Is it finally designated as FAOR? And are VTBS, OTHH and ZBAD there? Just curious...

April 15, 20206 yr Once I can get a shader to fix the colors/saturation as well as some replacement water textures I'll be one happy camper. The performance increase is well worth the price in my opinion. 9800X3D | 5090 | 64GB DDR5 | LG C2 42"

April 15, 20206 yr Some comments now I'm flying: 1. Reports of poor graphics. Be aware that P3D shaders may not work well on the first run. Don't be too hasty to jump to conclusions. 2. Interface is new and shiny - feels quite different, though you'll be able to find your way around. Default slider settings are pretty low, so you'll want to move some to the right. 3. Started with the Carenado AC12 Commander (GA) at Sion. 50cm per pixel orthoscenery and autogen added, along with the Pilot's mesh. Running at 100 frames per second, nice! (2080TI) 4. Loaded my control profile from v4 for the Warthog HOTAS, no problems except brakes seemed to need to be toggled on and off in settings to get them to release the first time. 5. Shadows in flight with DX12 look nicer to my eyes than in v4.5, then again I could never get truly smooth flight with much in the way of shadows in 4.5 6. How does the ortho look - well, beautiful. The default landclass arounf Sion looks too "arcade" - colors too bold. The ortho of the Alps looks just right. Looks as good in this sim as i've seen it, certainly prettier to my eyes than my Ortho4XP in XP11 for the same region. 7. VR time. Where has the Oculus option gone?? Running in Steam VR - it's OK. Seems more jerky - just slightly - than i'm used to. Didn't notice any warping or cokcpit size issues, reported elsewhere. Note: crashed it by accident by closing steam VR. On a reboot, the oculus option has magically appeared!! OK, not sure whats up with that but happy to see it back. 🙂 8 VR #2: Trying the F-16 with the Oculus VR software option. Looks nice, but too much juddering on head movement, Need to troubleshoot this - Steam VR was much better. That's it for now. Haven't tried Truesky yet, but seriously impressed by my first few flights in our new sim. Have fun up there!

April 15, 20206 yr I wonder if there will also be a performance increase on older quad-core i7s like 4790k? Tomaz Drnovsek My FSX Videos My AVSIM Gallery

April 15, 20206 yr Moderator Performance is absolutely sick with v5, but I'm not quite sure if LM dialed down autogen quite a bit. Here's a shot out of Boston, pretty much all settings maxed, just for testing purposes, I'm more of a commercial IFR smoothness kind of guy 🙂 Oh boy, I need to re-learn how to link to google drive, for some reason my link won't be accepted by the forum.
