Let the P3D v6 is dead thread begin.

18 months of no updates then this, weird. Doesn’t look particularly mind blowing except maybe the supposed performance improvements.

Wont have a chance to try out for a bit. Would be good to hear thoughts on 5.4.

Whoa.... I didn't expect this at all!

[Daube 353]

Well, that's disappointing, to say the least 😕

I mean, it's great that LM maintains v5 as it should, for sure. It's just that the expectations were slightly higher than that 😄

Why the doom and gloom? We know v6 is being developed so I see this point update as the final work on v5.

Looking through the fixes I didn’t see anything for extra parking positions at default airports. The other is few default airport buildings appearing until Scenery Complexity is set to Very Dense when Sparse was sufficient in earlier versions.

If anyone could confirm if those have changed I’d appreciate it.

You're probably the only one in here who is not concerned about some LM staff being busy fixing v5 instead of developing v6 at this point.

Also, having 5.4 released now could mean there won't be anything about v6 in the flightsim expo, contrary to everybody's expectation.

I guess the next version could be v5.5 or v6 based on past releases.

P3D 5.3HF2 was released in Jan 22. Reset the clock, the wait continues.

Back to MSFS it is. See ya

[Joseph29 225]

Well I was hoping for v6, but I will gladly download and install v5.4! Looking at the list it looks like they fixed a lot of things. I was hoping for better sky colors at dusk and dawn, but I guess that will wait until v6.

Just remember some developers have to update their software to make it compatible. FSlabs being one of them.

[C2615 319]

I see tons of default GPS/Procedure improvement but I don't care as I almost exclusively fly aircraft with it's own navigation system (FMS, GTN750,CIVA, or just Standard radio...)

I probability will wait to see it stable (some HF maybe?), or even just bypass it...

I guess Activesky too. The latest version is 8538 (that was just released a few days ago), but it doesn't say anything about v5.4 on the compatibility list.

This update is probably quite a customer screw-up!!! 😰
