If you CTD when switching views try switching views with the menu bar/change view instead of using keyboard.

me being out of VRAM and it crashed.

Wait - it still crashes? Not sure if I misunderstood that bullet point from the change log but I thought you would now be able to adjust settings and continue flying?

What exactly is the "Texture Streaming"?

Textures in the distance are automatically dialed down in resolution on the fly to lower VRAM if you get close to your GPU's limit. Comes at a performance penalty though, but it can be disabled in the settings.

For all the guys with the driver crashes wit amd cards. 

Upgraded from 1909 to 2002 Windwos Version and it`s gone.

I see that the true meaning of my earlier comment was not quite grasped, but I am too tired to try and explain. I need a good night's sleep before I tackle my next enjoyable flight in P3Dv4 Fear not, my friends. P3Dv5 will almost certainly be installed on my PC......one day

Has anyone else lost all external previews in the UI after the HF?

And when the sim loads all I get is blue sky?

I just did a full reinstall of P3D v5 HF1, installed my addons. I try to load ORBX TrueEarth GB with Aerosoft Hearthrow and it is stuck on loading. 

Does anyone has this problem?

Sorry for offering my advice and experience. I meant no offense. No need to get angry! I'll keep my mouth shut some other time.

Jeez - I don't know why I bother anymore.

I'm so sick and tired of the attitude in this community... 😞

It's only a few Anders and we all know who they are.

Carry on.

yes I ready did that, this was the outcome!

Ok, uninstalled v5, deleted the shaders folder content and prepar3d.cfg and installed the HF1. Works as expected, all addons are there. BUT, and this is a very big BUT: those annoying, regular micro stutters are back. What a bummer. And this with the exact same settings as used before the hotfix. Enabling or disabling the new option to save VRAM does not do anything, enabling or disabling HT via AM does not do anything. It stutters. Regularly. I could vomit...
