5.2's ABSOLUTELY BEST ADVANCEMENT

I just wish they could work out the clouds

That's the only issue I see currently. I see some are showing nice clouds and yes I am getting same up to some 5000-6000 feet or maybe bit higher, but above that they look horrible. So for some reason without EA looks good enough at all levels.

One problem I am noticing today, FPS are dropping during flight and in cruise (?!). Can't figure why. I could be at EHAM at the gate and FPS are as high as they could be. But once in  the air and after 1 or so hrs they drop to 35-40. Not a huge deal but wondering where could be the problem. I did full installation so not sure should I attempt Client repair to remedy some small issues. Also pressing brakes produces pause for second or so. 

Other than that smooth and nice. No EA and VC is bright enough, not as should be but better.

Is the dreaded DX Device_Hung error still happening?

I went back to 4.5 for the time being but would love to give 5.2 another try if the error is fixed. 
 

Thanks.

DEVICE_HUNG is not a "bug", it points mostly to driver/hardware problems P3D is triggering.

Exactly, I had the error with old drivers and a wrongly overclocked GPU (GTX 1080Ti). I've installed latest NVIDIA 471.11 and removed the OC and all's good now.

I have this error now when I have never seen it before.  Nothing changed with my hardware and my 1080Ti is not overclocked.  Is this strictly a GPU memory issue because I think I have lots of headroom with 4 out of 10 gigs used on the card.

It can be factory overclocked, most of the cards actually are.

After reading this I really wonder what is "5.2's absolutely best advancement". I can se none. Maybe that there will be a hotfix?

Being able to use EA + 2D clouds …..

What can I say, my PC runs everything perfectly fine, including P3D v4.5. 
I can fly all day without any crashes. 

With v5 I might get lucky and be able to complete one flight without it crashing. 
(yes, my 1080 is factory overclocked) and believe me, I tried a lot of suggestions including a ton of different drivers and registry tweaks  

Nothing worked. I simply went back to P3D v4. 

So basically you are saying, the device hung crash is still a thing in 5.2?

5.2 is using less VRAM than 5.1 and therefore maybe work with the 1080, if it's DX12 compatible. 

Most updates are under the hood. If you have a good looking fluent 4.5 it can be as much enjoyable as a 5.2.

My 1080TI works beautifully with 5.2. So much better than with 5.1!  I have literally zero crashes to desktop or crashes of any kind.  I'm using the latest Nvidia driver and all of my sliders are full right with the exception of draw distance (on High).  I have considered getting one of the "3" graphics cards, but with the unavailability and lackluster reviews, I've decided to hold off until I have my whole computer upgraded from Jetline Systems.  I believe the system built around the 1080 contributes much to the overall success of the computer handling the flight sim challenges.  I do love my 1080 though!

Small thing, but The Avatar does not chrash /stop into the aircraft when you have a walkaorund  in 5.2

i also have better stability in 5.2 mainly because of headroom in VRAM. 

My EVGA GTX1080TI FTW3 could make my system unstable (Power surge issue with total restart of PC) so i use Nvidia Inspector to set target temp at 70c making it use the vents more and it actually has helped alot. 

Thanks
