My biggest gripe is that they remade this for v5 with native materials but it doesn't seem to have PBR at all. Bit of a letdown for me to be honest. I don't see anything looking new or even different on the screenshots, at least not enough to justify purchasing a new version. I never had the previous version. Overall I'm not super impressed with it. Maybe it's just the winter texturing. But the runways look weird. At least when comparing the runways to the surrounding ground. On the plus side atleast I have a non default Omaha now. But this looks pretty fs9 like to me. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
January 30, 20224 yr I picked this scenery up too. I like to fly east coast to west coast, but I don't like to do it all in one shot so I will land somewhere in the middle of the US before continuing to the west coast. I thought about picking up TropicalSim new P3Dv5's Curacao scenery also but didn't. The blue night lighting in the screenshots looks weird to me. Is that how it is in real life?

Had problems with it crashing; dev was responsive, but I eventually resolved it (won't say how, because someone will jump on me saying--probably correctly--that his program could not possibly have had anything to do with it). I like TropicalSim (now 2, apparently). I have never been disappointed their stuff. KOMA would be a good origin for flights to Rapid City 😉 Reminds me of the inevitable jokes surrounding the Court of Military Appeals (a.k.a. COMA) circulating amount the Navy defense bar.

The previous version isn't bad, but you would think a new, native v5 version would be looking much better and not pretty much the same. I guess most of the work, if not all, was to update the installer and some other compatibility issues.
