I used OpusFSX (now OpusFSI) in FSX (IIRC) and ultimately moved on to EZCA and then ChasePlane in P3D. Does OpusFSI work in v5.4? I've checked the Opus website, but it simply mentions "v4+" as a requirement for OpusFSI v6

Actually it is P3Dv5 compatible.  I just checked their website to see what it offers since I never heard of it before and found this

New 64-bit OpusFSI v6 (for P3D v4.5+ and v5)

It's also on sale right now  http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi.htm

Looks like those guys are reading this thread.  I have opusfsx for fsx/p3d (32bit) and will get v6 plus msfs one as it is on sale.

I'm going to get v6 first and see how I like it.  I never heard of it before and it sounds awesome.  All the features sound cool but I'm especially interested in the head movement feature.  I use A2A Accu-Feel which does improve the way you "feel" the airplane and I'm wondering if this is better.

From what I have read, OpusFSI is primarily a 'weather machine' !?

The question is:
is the 'weather engine' compatible at all with all addons (FSLABS,MAJESTIC,PMDG, LEONARDO,...) !?
Can the respective weather radar display the data from OpusFSI at all ?

Are EA and Volumetric Clouds supported ?

I think the change is not that easy - or can the 'weather engine' be deactivated ?
You see: Questions about questions 😉

Can someone answer this !

Good questions indeed.  It doesn't say in the description what it's compatible or not compatible with.  I need to know if it will work with REX Skyforce textures and with EA turned on as well as the radar issue.  I'm sure it likely can be deactivated though, would be a bad idea not to have an off button for people that don't want the weather engine feature.  Could always shoot the developers an email with those questions though, I see they have a Contact Us page so I will probably do that.

guys, tell me why is anybody still using P3D in year 3 after MSFS, except for multi-monitor support, some specific aircraft that might only be available for P3D or historic weather? performance wise I am seeing ca. 70 fps with most settings at Max at 4K in both sims, (MSFS even twice that with NVidia FrameGeneration enabled), especially since P3D comes with nearly no useful GA or airliner aircraft.

There is a lot of reasons some people prefer P3D over MSFS.  I don't think MSFS users will ever understand what  an experience P3Dv5 can be once it's set up the right way and you have the right aircraft installed.  I use both but I like P3D better and use it much more often than MSFS now that I finally have it set up the way that I want.

I think most MSFS users came from P3Dv5 and therefore know it quite well.

Because I cannot afford to spend another large sum of money on replacing everything I already have. (And that works well for me).

Happy?

@turbomax, you have started a separate topic about why people prefer P3D so no more about comparisons in this topic dedicated to P3D v5.4.

I replied to other posts that mentioned MSFS. But I comply and am over and out in the other thread.

I was going to explain why, but then I thought.....why should I? I have my reasons for sticking with P3Dv4.5HF2 at this moment in time, and that is all that you need to know. I may see you one day in the warm and fluffy world of Microsoft Flight Simulator, but until then I bid you good fortune!
