Well I am impressed - a job well done to make a very good simulator the best!. No issues or problems encountered updating as per the LM instructions.

All addons, vehicles and scenery picked up and no problems encountered. The new streamlined menu is good. I flicked through a variety of vehicles and locations and default and addon scenery combinations - just worked. It does seem to me the sound is qualitatively different for the better and yes the overall lighting and perspective is very good too. Menu selection and submenus were crisp and worked and changes on the fly handled with no glitches encountered. 

Best news SIM DIRECTOR now works as it should. Took @ 1 minute to load once selected. Now I am impressed. I thought P3D was very good before but now it is superb. Well done to all at LM you have pulled it through. Best part really is the whole update process was painless and accomplished with minimal changes or reloads - that alone is a winner!

Still get a little squaring with cloud holes or cover on vertical look up but it is minor! Now we really have an amazing simulator!

 

Nice feedback. You may also post this at LM forum ...they will get motivated by such postings. 😉

BRAKES text doesn’t even appear just like shift+z function not working

For me it does, even Shift+Z, but it's choppy and stuttery. 

 

Also, if you fly in real time in Europe now you might also notice solar eclipse happening in the sim LOL

You have to install the content package or download the missionpanels.cfg which is posted on support forum LM and copy paste it in the LM gauges directory and replace the existing one

Please post at LM. There where complete overhauled panels migrated to HTML5. They have still work to do. I posted this as well in beta section. But you should also inform LM about this please.

Guys install all components.. just client will give you issues.. 5.2 implemented lots of changes that requires the content and the scenery.. example:

  • HMTL menus and information text
  • Objects textures to avoid being rendered behind the clouds.
  • Effects files improvements.
  • etc.

It is a long list.. most of people complaining about problems with 5.2 looks / performance is due to not performing a full install of all components or using an addo-on not compatible with 5.2

For the record we all beta testers were always installing all 3 components with each build.. so you been warned..

Is it only me or are the clouds on cruise level still really pixelated? I still see al these blocky lines etc.

I'm a little bit lost what to uninstall now...

Is it sufficient to uninstall "Prepar3D v5 Academic" from Programs and Features, and then reinstall the newly-downloaded v5.2? This is what I gather from the official guideline.

Exactly. Or uninstall each components single. Up to you.

That is how I did each beta re-install.. full uninstall.. full install.. done.. all add-on's were working after. You can imagine the amount OF RE-INSTALLS during the entire period.. 😛
