Final take..."P3D v5 and stuffed with Orbx ....."

is a hand's down WINNER!  I am thrilled, man...thrilled.  On my 7 year old modest system, I have the sim cranked right out...every feature on...sliders bending the far right...and while I am getting around 22-30 FPS depending on what's happening, it's dead smooth...NO STUTTER and the output man oh man...is just ACE!   I'm  dumping my v4.5 this afternoon and freeing up the room  I do not come close to having a vRAM OOM..for with the sim features BURSTING at the seams...I never go past 4.4 GB out of a total available on my system of 6.7.  No matter what...storms...whatever...my vRAM doesn't spike past that!  I had one CTD but not because of vRAM exhaustion, but because I was ranking all over the slides, and I guess that v5.0 didn't much like that...having to keep renewing the art assets.

Bottom line...GLAD I JUMPED IN!  Absolutely!  

I don't truly have one constructive criticism at this point.  The sim runs beautifully...cranked right up...no need for a partial and diminished screen and feature output.  Dang...I stamp P3Dv5 a winner and absolutly is NOT or should not be v4.6...

Cheers,  y'all!

"I mean...just LOOK at that output...THAT is what I wanted the day I left FSX....THIS is truly a successor.  L.M...'ya did it man!" 🙂

It is really amazing what they did, so much better and also that we don’t have to spend a fortune again for updating all of the addons.

I own a Dell XPS 730x running an i7-975 Extreme (four core) powering an EVGA For The Win GTX1070 8GB (not a Ti),  with a total of only 12 GB's of high speed (very good RAM...) System Ram, and all going to a Dell U3415W  

Fppilot...this is LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

Nice pictures. Is that default autogen or ORBX buildings and trees?

Fantastic screenshots !

If you guys find the sun to small : search for the suneffecf.cfg file and change the default moon / sun according to your liking.

For my real size home cockpit I use :

Moon 1500 ( default 900 )

Sun 6072 ( default 2072 )

That is all Orbx now...PNW,  KORS...and I also loaded in A.I. Ships...and oh..oh...Accu-Feel works you just have to drag it from the v4 Add-on Folder into the v5 Add-on Folder..and it will be picked up for choice on first run...

Nobody...but NOBODY is pulling this v5, but out of my cold, dead....hands...that's the only way...   MSFS20?   "Pffffff.....whenever!  Who the $&@(@  cares, now...! LOL I mean...THIS...THIS is a freakin' FLIGHT SIM!"

I'm very happy for you Mitch, but I'm a bit perplexed. What exactly is so different from this version that has you head over heals?

I've seen pics like this before in FSX.
