Back to P3D V4.5 / V5 - What I do/do you like about it?

Featured Replies

Back to the OP's question,

For me its... stability, a wide range of add-ons available (detailed scenery, study level aircraft and flight planning utilities) plus the improved performance in v5 vs v4.5 has kept me flying in the P3D environment.

 

Regards,

I use both but find myself playing with msfs abit more.

 

P3DV5    Stability and have lots off add-ons

MSFS       Lots of fun and eyecandy. love the weather. needs to mature abit.

CPU: Intel i9-11900K @5.2 / RAM: 64GB DDR4 3200 / GPU: 4080 16GB /

I stay on P3D V5 because i´am running an A320 homecockpit with Airbus specific systems which are not compatible with MSFS right now.

I have even not tested MSFS yet, because i can wait until it´s out of it´s diapers. But more important for me is that MSFS can proof it´s able to handle Airliners and provide all that Eyecandy without a performance drop, especially with a wide view via 3 beamers each full HD at least. My hope is, that meanwhile LM will make a big step forward with the EA (True Sky) and i  wish that they are in touch with the HiFi team to develope an enhanced athmospheric model and weather system. 

The actual approach by MSFS is very very promising for the future, because of the 3D-photogrammetry scenery, the athmospheric appearence in case of light´s and shading, and the much advanced weather system.

MSFS does not have a fisheye fix for NVSURROUND nor you can have multiple seperate views... And no enhanced SDK.

Nothing there for cockpitbuilders (yet)

From the OP

"It's using a program called WidePSX previously used for projecting Aerowinx PSX visuals to P3D/FSX, but because of the simconnect similarities between the SDK for those and the new Sim, this works for providing a visual output for FS2020 on the 3 projector setup. The projector warping software is called Immersive Display Pro, and allows us to have a near 180° field of view, which as you can see looks very impressive in practice"

If you cockpit builders like to go big on the 747 (Aerowinx 747 systems in the backend) 😉
