No post I've read has said anything contrary.

Then there is your answer, isn't it? That's why I am running V5. That's why I was one of those, who apparantly made a foolish decision and "rushed" to install V5.

Ity's really a weird statement from someone who doesn't even own the software to question why others bought it. (even more so. ENJOY it- how dare we)

Have a nice evening.

If no one uses it no one detects issues, no one fixes them, and there's no hotfix at all. I don't regret being an early bird.

Kind regards, Michael

Hi,

 

I think that LM has released this V5 a little to soon: before the launch of Windows 10 Edt. 2004 !

This afertoon, I have just switched to Windows 10 edition 2004 and I confirm : my VRam data under P3D v5 goes from 3.9 / 6.7 GB to 3.9 / 7.1 GB. (scenery LFOZ from France-VFR)

This change (more 400 Mo) is very beneficial because I have in addition more fluidity and the VRam is released more quickly: so, I'm HAPPY  with this version 5.

I don't get why people have rushed to install it  knowing that it's got problems and they will be having to install the hotfix.  Why not just wait

No harm in installing it.  You can run it alongside 4.5 , install updated scenery , have a look around, play with settings.  There's a lot you can still do.  Also, the extent of the issues wasn't really established until 2/3 days after release.

Do you use the most current nVIDIA driver? Stupid second question: did you recreate your prepar3d.cfg after upgrading Windows?

  Rob McCarthy from LM has posted today that they "are planning to release a hotfix update next week addressing this and various other reports identified by users after launch."

Guys, to be honest, I haven´t been able to fly again my P3DV4HF3 since yesterday. I installed my fslabs and made a short EGLL-EGGP and told myself "This is it".

Since installing my P3dV5 I can´t go back, and I have hit the invisible wall like 5 times, but I know it is going to get fixed. Today I followed LM instructions fly Low to High altitude airports and so far 3 perfect landings (KIAH-KDFW, KIAH-KCLT and EKCH-ESSA)

Ha - same here. I have my full 4.5 install in great order, but I haven't gone back to it, and I'm one of those with a RX5700XT that gets a CTD on view change on many planes. If this drags on, I'm sure I will - but for now I'm able to use my Majestic Q400 and FSW MU-2 with absolutely no problems and I've been just flying around the US west coast as that's the only scenery area I've installed for now, figuring I'll be doing a fresh build once v5 is more stable.

I have only XML airports at the moment so once the hotfix drops ill do a fresh install of 5. whatever they name it.

Yes - current driver is installed.

cfg not recreated, will do so and come back.
