April 14, 20206 yr I have exactly 1 hour, 30 minutes left on the download, so figure 5:15 PM EDT. Post below when you get it going. Screen shots welcome!!!
April 14, 20206 yr Been flying around for the past 10 minutes. While performance seems great, I'm having a real hard time coming to terms with the new look. Lighting is completely different and it doesn't look natural at all. Always appreciated that about P3D, it had a very natural tone you could spruce up a bit, whereas this just has some weird tones and filter. It honestly looks like Dovetail's Flight Sim World, that was almost impossible to get looking natural.

April 14, 20206 yr Y'all in here flying already or talking about how you'll be there in an hour and my poor self will have to leave the PC running overnight because 22.7 GB will take around 11 hours for me... welcome to the world of slow internet. In my world it's only 2005-ish.
April 14, 20206 yr Would be nice to see some clear sky comparison screenshots with and without truesky activated 🙂 That will give a good idea of how lighting changed in various conditions i think Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
April 14, 20206 yr V5 installed and running. I fly exclusively VR, so, my comments are based on VR flight. 1. The oversized cockpit issue while in VR is back. 2. Presently installed Orbx stuff via Central. Having to install each scenery individually. Will take some time. Installing all scenery into xml. Will report back how that works. 3. Setup controls using the default P3d controls interface, until FSUIPC 6 is available. It works, just not as crisp as with FSUIPC. Danny Danny

Danny How about this I just found out!: "Enhanced atmospherics is not supported in virtual reality mode and has been disabled"! That does not fit to what LM wrote earlier: So VR is not fully supported as the new TrueSky does not work in VR? Others? Did I miss something? Windows 10 latest build All drivers up to date RTX 2080ti i7 8700k OC to 5.1GhZ Clean install, not 1 addon installed now Just not fully compatibel VR with HP Reverb via Steam VR Edited April 14, 20206 yr by mpo910 Regards, Marcus P.

PLUS that they didn't fix the issue with ground textures loading in distance and you keep on seeing the same problem with loading in squares. That's why all the videos on the net are with haze conditions to hide the same on going problem with this issue. What is noticeable is the performance so far, other wise if you compare it with out of the box with all these videos on YouTube that use all kind of enhancements and tweaks it's not good. Unfortunately very disappointed and unhappy about all these people making these short movies misleading people about the product. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
April 14, 20206 yr Cool will wait and here more reviews. VR is absolute must for me. DCS is amazing in VR, was hoping for LM TrueSky clouds in VR. CC is on hold till I read more feedback How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
