I'm not wasting any money on P3D, my next big upgrade will be with the new sim. Why do you have to spend more money on hardware? The performance gains are better with this version, not worse. AS for 'thousands' being spent.... you are just being hyperbolic. Edited April 20, 20206 yr by ErichB
April 20, 20206 yr My mesh is set to 5m. I've experienced what I would describe as 'a kick in the butt' a few times (NOT on short final. just cruising.) and one rather exciting rapid descent into the sea (I nearly said 'took a dump in the ocean')(on short final) They seem to be completely random and rare enough not to get over excited about it. It'll be fixed I'm sure. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

This software should run fine on current hardware. I have a 9900k, OC'd to 4.6 with a 2080 and I'm having all sort of issues even with low settings. CTD's, choppy frames, blurry textures and the list goes on. We shouldn't have to wait for hot fixes to address issues that should be addressed when the game is in beta. If another game developer released a game which had issues like this it would game over for them. Edited April 20, 20206 yr by YVRDXBLHR

If another game developer released a game which had issues like this it would game over for them. It will all get resolved. It always does. There are lots of significant changes in this version and I for one am not really surprised. To have expected everything to be issue free would really be silly. Disappointed at having to wait a bit longer, sure, but not surprised. Edited April 20, 20206 yr by ErichB
April 20, 20206 yr My list: - short final loss of altitude crash. - cloud flickering at the edge of mountains, other textures when using Atmoshperics. - ATC window or ATC requests, crashes sim at random times. - Sim crashes when selecting a different plane, or airport location.

April 20, 20206 yr v5 is great, Truesky, waves, better mesh, better airports. I doubt I will fly v4.5 again, or if I do it will be very occasional. BUT 1. P3D early releases have often been a bit rough historically. It's not static software like FSX 10 years after release. I've already installed one hotfix, I'm sure there are more to come. 2. It would be very bold to erase the previous version of P3D when a new one comes out. This has always been the case in the past with v2/v3/v4.

Agreed. 19 minutes ago, OzWhitey said: I doubt I will fly v4.5 again, or if I do it will be very occasional. I have to, I have no choice. Along with a bunch of others. I'm glad you're not one of them :>)
