I click on this P3d Forum every day (several times a day) and look forward to seeing a message..."It's OUT, 5.2 available for downloading"!  I sense that something is near, but I'm not totally convinced.  My sim is running quite well in that I'm completing more and more flights without some kind of intervention.  Usually if things get stuttery or something, I just click on the TIME menu and change the time by one hour.  That brings the sim back to normalcy for the duration of the flight.  I don't always have to do that, but I guess the memory (and DX12) gets overworked.  Whatever, I still fly P3d so much more than any other sim and really enjoy it.  I do believe, though, that the time is nigh.

Oh well, half the fun is checking the forum for that message portending that flights will be smooth, beautiful, and somewhat predictable.

Enjoy your weekend.

I’ve learned very quickly hype trains are more disappointing than not in this hobby.  Enjoy what you have, and whenever 5.2 drops, it’ll be a pleasant surprise.  Sure beats weeks of being disappointed over and over.

heck at this point I'm more excited for the TFDI MD-11 and FSLabs sharklets than I am for the P3D update. 

There are only two reasons I will go to 5.2:

1. PMDGs DC-6 will not work in 5.1 but only in 5.2

2. 5.2 will have trees and ground vegetation like we see it in that other sim. Can't be so difficult to implement, can it? In Alaska that other sim doesn't look different from 5.2 (+ ORBX) except trees and ground vegetation.

Else I will keep 5.1. Also as a fallback, if Internet or servers needed for that other sim go down. And for flying my favourite aircraft not available in that other sim.

Is that anywhere close to being released and not a year off?

Doubt we will see it anytime soon. Maybe end of year. Buy not sure. Last update they said it was making good pace

Where did you read about trees and vegetation? I did not see any hints about such an enhancement. 

Give LM a bit time to work on a nice update for us. How more time they have the better it will get......hope.....hope....hope...

I didn't read about it. I just thought it would be nice.

Yes, let's wait. I'm not in a hurry.

Ok. I get you now! Yes, this would be nice indeed! 

 

Um, 5.2 was released April 1. It was all over this forum. Don't know how y'all missed that.

I hope you remember the rule about trying to fool people after noon on 1 April. 😉

No more mention of non-existent point releases please.

what do you think they will change in 5.2 ?  you suddenly think they are going to come running to the rescue of the simmers who make them peanuts ?

Fixing the remaining DXGI errors for a start. The money aspect is irrelevant and you know it.

the money is relevant,  they are not going to devote their staff to fix stuff for simmers, for example vector data, 

they are going to get them to work on stuff which appeals to corporate clients aka the Military that make them  Millions, not thousands like simmers do.
