It would appear to be the final iteration of v5 given how long it’s been since HF2. But yes, the choice to upgrade or not is still one luxury we enjoy. 😁 Ray (Cheshire, England).

I am not done with p3d, I have spent way too much money to move completely over to MSFS. Why would you be posting in the P3D forums if you don't plan on using it anymore?

But if you update, discover something isn’t compatible and want to revert, you better have the previous version backed up or you’re screwed. LM does not keep previous versions around.

Actually, you can download previous versions of all the client installers right back to P3D v2, but not content and scenery, and also the full installer for the last released version of each major version (4.5, 3.4 etc). With those you can basically re-download and install any historical version of the sim. You can still buy licenses back to v3 if you need them, too. You can't download the historical SDKs, though, which I usually need for developing apps. In any case I have an archive of the installers + SDK for each version since 3.0 on my NAS, just in case. Good practice if you're heavily invested in the P3D platform. Temporary sim: 9700K @ 5GHz, 2TB NVMe SSD, RTX 3080Ti, MSFS + SPAD.NeXT

August 8, 20223 yr Moderator Okay, enough of this please. Keep your discussion to P3D and no insulting comments about others. Ray (Cheshire, England).

August 8, 20223 yr The real problem is that too many people react to stray comments from the other world. If you ignore them, nothing bad will happen.

August 8, 20223 yr I'm still with P3D and not going anywhere. Best planes, best tools, weather and ATC software, top-notch AI Traffic, ADE and ability to modify literally everything in terms of AI management. A bunch of good sceneries. And rock-solid stability after 5.3. Yes, there are things I would like LM to improve, but those are not game-changers. With MSFS I have major blockstones that keeps me away still. even though I do occasional VFRs. I'm watching Q&A with ASOBO from time to time and I must say that in my humble opinion those guys are lacking major vision of where to move next.

But in any case, your download manager will have stored the original zip file on your PC, so unless you have removed it, it will still be there, even if you haven't specifically saved it to a dedicated archive.
