PMDG NGXu. Just rename P3D v5 folder to P3D v4 then run the installer. Run operations center to get any updates. Install any liveries etc. when your done rename your P3D folder back to v5. Not that hard. Works great.

F1 GTN 650/750 works in P3Dv5 by design.

With some tweaking I was able to get the Aerosoft DC-8 working flawlessly. You have to add a DLL.XML entry for the XMLTools64.dll. I used the addon.xml method to point P3DV5 to my existing Aerosoft DC-8 folder and copied XMLTools64.dll into the appropriate folder.

I was able to get the Feelthere E170/E190 to run but not without major issues and performance problems. It crashes due to the A2A windshield effects. Rename the windshield effects dll file to disable it, but at this time it's not worth trying.

Aerosoft A330 works with some minor issues. I have added the A318/319 & A320/321 but haven't tried them yet.

Ultimate Traffic Live works. I simply copied and pasted the utLive folder from the P3Dv4 addons folder into the P3Dv5 addons folder.

Tried the same with the 777 seems to work but PFD ND EICAS are very blurry... almost unreadable. Did you find a fix for that or is the NGXu different in that case? (Btw. I have installed the latest version)

I haven't tried the 777. Did you try turning the display brightness down using the brightness knobs in the VC? The text on all of the displays in the NGXu are very bright and I have to turn the brightness down more than half way.

Have others noticed, though the aircraft function the night lighting isn't quite right?

Also have slightly blurry instruments with the Majestic D400, pop outs work fine though.

A2A Cherokee and P-40 (from A2A forum "Important note! To avoid a CTD when loading a P3Dv4 Accu-Sim aircraft in P3Dv5, you must disable the "Windshield.dll" in the "Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\A2A\Gauges" folder. You can do this by simply renaming or removing the dll in question.")
 

SSW Phantom (non-PBR)

SWS F184F, F104G, G91

AH Meteor, Hunter

JF Hawk (visual bug with jet exhaust)
