V5 Review

Featured Replies

OUTSTANDING review!

MSFS

A nice review thank you. Those waves do look incredible.

personally I’m sticking with 4.5 for the time being. As furloughed crew I need my real world aircraft and everything else to just work first time so I can keep my skills up to speed. I don’t want to be taking the gamble on V5 just at the moment, plus my disposable income isn’t what it used to be just now 😄

Once V5 gets more stable , especially with VR,and I get back to work I’m looking forward to making the leap over.

Thanks for the review, bro.

VR:  pffft, who can actually afford that?

Nice review, Nick - thank you.

Like you, I am not looking back, and while my GTX 1080 is working harder than ever my system is "mostly" stable. I did have the Hand of God smite me twice...  🙂

Very nice and thank you. I have had V5 downloaded for a few days. I am going to dump V4.5 and load up V5 in a few min. Time to get things cleaned up and move forward even if the MS Hand of God gets me! LOL

Hi. Great review. Might have missed it on your video clip, but what scenery addons have you managed to install so far? Regards.

Looks good.. but unless PTA/Tomatoshade ( either is fine) , Activesky, EZDOK and various other addons are updated , completely no-go for me.

Not going from my pimped-up 4.5 to a semi-vanilla v5 , regardless of the performance increase ,

Maybe in several months , but not now..

That’s why I have a better looking semi-vanilla wife because she is à version Five!

It’s just orbx. The Bronanza was in orbx Aussieland V2. The 172 stuff and the cub was outside KFHR (the orbx KFHR) and obviously the PNW. The 182 was in the southern USA so Orbx global and NA LC.

Thanks a lot for the video.

I haven't uninstalled v4.5 yet but I haven't gone back to it either since I bought V5 despite some bugs that should be solved quickly ...
Now a question, please what is your configuration?

Thank you.

Richard.

Ok. My installation of v5 is still vanilla. Taking it step by step!
