Early days but rumours suggest v5 addons will remain fully compatible with v6. If they aren't I'd stay with v5.3 as P3D still has features very important to me not available in MSFS.

I'm not derailing this topic by answering your question. 2 minutes ago, bendead said: I know one of them is historical weather, but what about the rest, what would you miss? Radar Contact, FS Labs 64-bit Concorde due in < 3 months which I've been waiting > 5 years for, control over updates of the core program, cirrus clouds, save scenarios, replay landings, sensible Ai actions (AIG), custom jetways courtesy of Cartanya. Finally, lots of money invested which I'm not prepared to ignore. Clearly some are essential, others are desirable. The depiction of the ground from altitude is not that important to me. But with the advances in P3Dv5 ground scenery I can identify every river, island and other geographical feature shown in LittleNavmap. That's fine for me as I'm an IFR flier, not VFR.

I rermember during the testing phases of MSFS people wanted their old add ons from FSX and/or P3D to work and I didn't want that. If MSFS was going to be a new generation of sim, we just had to let our old stuff go. I've bought a lot of stuff for FS, XP, and P3D that can't be used now and that's OK. Maybe that's not the case for XP12 or P3D V6. But, it's great to have all the choices! Rick Abshier 5900X | RTX 5070 Ti OC| 64 GB@3600 | India Pale Ale
