November 8, 20205 yr Finally got to do the v 5.1 upgrade. It looks good. The Enhanced Atmospherics are really photo-realistic. Only trouble is that most of the Carenado and other aircraft don't work. Parts of the aircraft are missing, controls don't map, and there are other problems. Does anybody know which aircraft are actually working?
November 8, 20205 yr Currently using the FeelThere E-Jets v3, and they work OK (still a frame-rate hog, though!). I've got Carenado's Phenom 300 installed but I haven't tried it under 5.1 yet. Ditto their C172 G1000. Will probably try both over the next few days. Personally I've got EA off as it's too buggy and it kills my FPS in complex scenery areas and that's pretty much all I'm flying in at the moment. Did you do a client-only install or a full install? Have you tried re-installing the affected aircraft? 5.1 changes a lot but I don't think it's changed any of the aircraft modelling etc. I would have expected most aircraft that have been ported to v5 already to just work. Temporary sim: 9700K @ 5GHz, 2TB NVMe SSD, RTX 3080Ti, MSFS + SPAD.NeXT
November 8, 20205 yr One issue with v5.1 vs 5.0 is that many PBR cockpits now are very dark (PMDG 737ngxu, Milviz KingAir etc). EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
November 8, 20205 yr An oldie but goodie is the Flight1 Mustang. I switched over to 5.1 yesterday and so far it seems fine. I am not using EA at this time but I did load up the Mustang with EA for a few minutes and it seemed OK but F1 is going to need to adjust the cockpit a bit as it is just too dark for my liking.

I did the client-content-scenery first and then a complete delete and re-install. Didn't make a difference, really. Some aircraft just don't work -- not rendered correctly, transparent or missing sections, won't start, buttons and switches won't work, and so on. The default F-35 does work, but none of the aircraft originally meant for v4 or other aircraft for v5 won't.

Does anybody know which aircraft are actually working? I installed most Carenado GA aircraft without problem. Only if the panel is configured for F1 GTN the sim crashes. Otherwise no problems. Even installed classic Hangar BF108 and Fw190 today. Only texture and sound configuration needs some attention.

I'll try turning those off and check again.

November 12, 20205 yr I just tested the carenado c208B, which seems to have a propeller texture problem in v5.1 After reworking the texture prop.bmp, simply saving it as DXT5 solved the problem.

November 13, 20205 yr Does Carenado have new installers for V5? I just copied the folders. Karl i9-9900K@5,0 | 32GB 3200 | 2080TI | 4K 55" | MSFS | P3D V5

Either this or as you did, but that has the risk you miss something. Carenado also provides a procedure and a patch, you should get to. https://carenado.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046625614-Installing-Carenado-aircraft-in-P3Dv5 Dan Edited November 13, 20205 yr by blaunarwal OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons) Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet!
