See the 52 page where this is discussed to death already

It’s real, I saw it before it was taken down, so we really don’t need to go round and round on this.

You are aware that the more changes, the more incompatibility problems will exist, which will require updates of current products which in many cases no longer enjoy the support of their developers. It will be interesting what will be the position of P3D, I understand it perfectly for the PRO market that enjoys different attention from developers, but what we will call "academic market" (because P3D was not made for entertainment) will be affected more with bigger changes.

Yes, I'm absolutely aware. Like I said, the major reason for me to keep P3D is the Majestic, and given the new installer options, it's possible it will be compatible from day 1 so I can be happy. It would be nice to have the PMDG heavies available as well, but I know the focus of this developer is no longer on P3D and if the planes are not easily compatible (just copy & paste some stuff and adjust folders), maybe there won't be an update. But since I have no expectations and know it might not even happen, I can live with that.

I also remember the v5 release with the "invisible walls" bug and certain scenery. Something similar like this can happen for sure and maybe this time it maybe won't be easily fixable with ADE or some exclusion files. We have to see 🙂 But if I'm able to fly the Q400 from time to time and v6 has something to offer which justifies an upgrade from v5, I will get it. If not, v5 won't go anywhere and I will continue using the older version.

Time will tell, and from what we see, the wait could be short term.

I agree 🙂

1. fix the full screen issue with applications running alongside.. ie fstramp. something to do with dx11/dx12

2. fix the green text bar stutter, found with the FSL..

3. Id like them to fully test it before release.  That means looking at any oversized bgl files with afcad data in them.  we dont need 2gb Orlando afcads,  ---  a 30 minute job.

4. A quick check of the vector data for Easten Canada around the Labrador Sea ---  a 2 hour job.

5. A look at the afcads to check runways numbers and ils freq's of the 10 most popular regular airports in the world, --  a 2 hour job.

 

if they really care about "simmers" then spend sometime on them.  half a day.   6 hours to do 3, 4 and 5.  Simple.

6. Fix the quantity of parking spaces in default airports. V5 was a downgrade, compared to v4.

7. Fix the scenery level slider behavior. Some default airports (for example, EDDM) had its main terminal show up when the slider was set at Extreme.

Those two things (and the fact that importing FSX AFCADs was not as simple as in older versions) drove me back to V4 and its lower performance. If #6 is fixed, no need to import anything. 

8. antialiasing. PLEASE!

scenery like MSFS has.

Something new and improved as always. P3D is here with us to stay at least that's official news by LM.  I don't think that people at LM are sitting on their hands. And...for some to create "fake screen shots"? Not sure what would be the  purpose for that. But nothing surprises me...

One thing is guaranteed or at least might make sense. LM needs to stay competitive and if they don't will know in next couple months. But for some reason I am optimistic....If not for us simmers than for their main customers but once they and if make such change then we could have something for us and hopefully what we need and expect. For now V5 works fantastic at least for me. But yes, I would like to see more of it in new update whatever that might be.

The purpose would be to generate interest and to get more views, like clickbait.  I've seen this type of thing many times on Youtube and other platforms.

Everyone here seems to think this is legit.  I hope they're right.

To be honest, I would prefer to see a next generation version of P3D running on Unreal Engine 5 that procedurally generates realistic terrain scenery based on real world images, rather than direct streaming of photo images from the internet. I have absolutely no idea if this could work (or if today's computers could handle the task), but maybe this could potentially eliminate problems like inconsistent colouration and resolution of textures across the globe? There is nothing worse than flying over beautiful terrain scenery, and then spotting a line across the landscape where two regions of vastly different colour and quality meet, or (even worse) last generation generic textures in some locations where there is no photographic data at all.

Honestly, I can't see that LM would drop P3D and continue with its commercial accounts only. They've been in business for long time. If where is smoke there is a fire thing....then we should have something soon. Let's hope so.

Again, just stop. This was already discussed/discovered days ago in a flightsim discord. It's real, and no one is wasting their time photoshopping P3D's store because who cares anyway?

Something a bit different like this is one reason I would buy P3D V6. Maybe it's possible to do this with the Unreal Engine V5 for the scenery and still have backward's compatibility with earlier previous versions addon aircraft. However I still think that V6's flight model needs and upgrade.

I'll buy it as soon as released and FSLabs announces their A319/20 are ported (provided it's for free) and/or they release their Concorde 64 bit version for it.

I'll buy it if ActiveSky updates ASP3D for v6.

I'll buy it if it comes with up-2-date runways after last year's updates around the World.

I'll buy it because MFS and XP12 aren't alternatives.

I'll buy it given the deception MFS was, and somehow XP12 too is...

Just a supposition. Majestic already shows P3D 6 in the product installer. With this in mind, i guess the sdk hadn't changed too mutch and the addons portability will be fast.

However we need to add a discount in terms of timmings regarding the long runs in FSLabs.

Regards e amanhã é feriado.
