Yep...everyone needs to chill and wait. This too shall pass. If you are stressed I find a to do list helps and you may feel free to copy mine.

Things to do Today

1. Wake up (This step is very important!)

2. Sit on couch. Listen for Covid-19 Vaccine release date

3. Sit on Couch. Listen for Prepar3d V5 HF1 release date

4. Go to Bed and sleep.

Things to do Tomorrow

1. See Above List

5. Start my P3DV4.5 and fly my Leonardo Maddog from KATL to KCHS.🙂 See ya later.

My jaded response to this is that they will probably not release it soon enough for people who bought it on release date and are considering a refund.

The deadline for this would be the 27th.

I think it will be middle to late next week. Just to make sure they cover their bases

I would think that the undecided would go ahead and ask for refunds if that is what they want to do. It is only fair to the developers. We have to be aware that LM only has a few Trillion dollars in their operating budgets per year and when one of us gets a $60 refund can play havoc on there 10-20 year business plans. I am sure that once the "27th deadline" passes then we will most likely get some news updates on the progress of their Martian Base plans.

Do you think the hotfix will address the messy roads ?  I (and others on various forums / threads) see roads that cover houses and buildings, honestly looks like a hodge podge of meaningless streets.  I find it really terrible looking, and I wonder if either I've done something wrong or how to eliminate them.

This has always been a problem and is nothing new. It depends on vector data an how good the LC data are defined. Only photoreal scenery is free of these issues.

The VR hot fix was implemented with a single file, but since many of the current issues involve scenery, (“invisible walls” etc.), I suspect the upcoming hot fix may involve reinstalling client, content and scenery, not just applying a patch file or two. I guess we’ll know one way or the other next week.

Where can I find this VR hot fix?

Got it - but what IS new is that it looks much worse than it ever did in 4.x.

Who are these beta testers that missed all of these things?  Sounds almost as incompetent as the DCS beta testing closed circle jerks.

You just implied that Rob & Raul are jerks. These are two of the best members we have on AVSIM.

You could be right. I think this comes from vector data. The former vector products had always road side-strips even for smaller roads.

This guy needs to look up the word 'tact'.

Pathetic.

Here's a post from the LM forum on this:  https://prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=137103

...and LM's response:  "The new data has lane sizes changing frequently and so the texture is changing when the lane is in the data. Unfortunately the color difference and width makes it look not so good there!

We'll look at a couple ways to fix that in the future."

This is a showstopper for me.  I was flying around one of the Bahama's islands this morning, just loving the performance but expecting to see better ground textures now that I have installed Orbx Global and NA base etc etc.  The roads haphazardly cover various aspects of the ground textures and it looks absolutely ridiculous.  Wonder if my old copy of UTX would fix this.  Or if I can figure out how to delete shut off their roads.

Now you are just going to confuse this Brain Surgeon. Now he is trying to figure out what a Tie "tact" or using a "tact" to hold down the carpet has to do with his post.👽

My man...
