Thank you!

I really thought this old chestnut of 'the eye cannot see more than 24, 30 FPS" stuff had been debunked years ago but like flat earthers it keeps coming back around!!

You guys who rebutted my statement are correct.  The eye can indeed distinguish more than 30fps.

Let me rephrase:

Can you tell tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps? 

In games with fast moving action you need more than 30fps to prevent ghosting, like I said before. 

In a flight simulator I don't see the need for 60fps.  Maybe it's a bit better, but spending gobs of money and fiddling with settings until you can achieve this is simply not worth it.

If it makes you happy to have that 60fps, or 100fps, in a flight simulator then by all means go for it.

It's easy to get 60fps in any version of P3D or FSX or XP. Just keep turning the setting down until you get 60fps. It will still be a stutter feast though unless you attend to syncing your fps and your display refresh rate one way or the other. Period!

I just want to say Wow!!!! with Orbx global and Europe LC I tried different weather scenarios.

I have seen things I never saw i a simulator before, and my first was Msfs 95! Now flying over the north of the Netherlands, also the vector data is really good and accurate. 

I don't know why so many people are negative but I have never seen something like this in a simulator before. Never going back to V4 anymore. 

So I dare to say that people who say that it is just a cheap upgrade, they are absolutely wrong and time will prove it!

Oh and I have over 100 Fps with a 1070 8gb Vram / i5 8400 / 16gb ram autogen on extremely dense 😳

I'm, right at this moment all about the water.

I changed my mind the water is a lot better than in previous versions. I added a thread with comparison videos between V2, V4 and V5. In each of those videos I flew low over the water which is about half way through each video. Should be easy to line them up and compare.

 

The big reveal is, after 21 hours how few voted here so far - not even 200.😬

That's only 10 shy of the number who said they would buy it on release in my previous poll.

I hazard a guess then, that at least a few who said they wouldn't buy it on release in the previous poll, did! 😁

Yes - especially if you are in VR or using TrackIR.
