April 30, 20206 yr Hey gang! A new member and already looking for assistance . . . Has anyone paired up QualityWings 787 with the new Prepar3D V5. Is the set-up something a newbie can handle - relatively new to the home sim world. On a 6 month leave of absence from my day job and want to stay sharp. Appreciate any and all assistance you may offer. Thank you Hooter
April 30, 20206 yr Yup, it is easily done, all you need to do is set it off installing and point the installer to your P3D V5 folder and let it go. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

April 30, 20206 yr @chock, Yep - you are correct - the QW787 is alive in v5 with just installation! I imagine some things - perhaps some of the support tools - must not work because the Flight1 QWsim support forum indicates that they still have some testing to do to make it fully compatible. I am flying it in VR in my ORBX Northern California scenery out of ORBX Monterrey (KMRY) which barely has enough runway length - never happen in real life. Then off to KSJC or KSFO at no more than 8000 ft MSL for a real quick check on the FMS and Autopilot - all seems to work. The QW787 cockpit with HUD and mouse clickable displays is just awesome in VR. Mouse clicking doesn't seem right in an older cockpit but it sure does in the 787 - including the overhead and other display knobs and switches - I use a HOTAS for axes and basics (gear/flaps/spoilers) . I had to lower the Prepar3Dv5 graphic object complexity from extremely dense to very dense ( 80% on houses ) to get a smooth 45fps WMR reprojection=motionvector setup with my PC = 9700K@5Ghz+RTX2070+HP Reverb so even looking out the side window ( which is extremely large in the 787 ) is smooth. There are some HotFixes coming for several things including VR but with the VR patch that Beau Hollis and his team provided last week, it looks great. It's too bad that the standard P3D stable doesn't have a decent airliner anymore, but the QW787 has all the features that I was looking for - especially in VR.

And....I decided to install and try one "real" flight across the pond.....in the air currently, vRam @3.9GB for last hr or so. No issues. TrueSky on...looks nice, bit blueish @37000 ft but ground looks good. Smooth as smooth could be. And if fix will improve that we have a winner here.. Alex
