Thanks, Ray, for your response. What do you expect will eventuate with regard to P3D in three weeks at the Houston event?

Nothing.  I don't why people keep thinking LM is going to make some big announcement at FSExpo.  It would be fun to be wrong, but I know where I would put my money.

I think it would be unusual for LM to release 5.4 after such a long period of time only to announce v6 at FS Expo barely a few weeks later. Given that time from announcement to availability of a major new version (if *any* advance notice is given) is usually just a few days, that would mean v6 is basically ready to go. And to want to release a 5.4 now, that would imply that v6 is a substantial enough change to the platform that they needed a 5.4 final release available for customers who will stay on v5.

Or perhaps v5.4 is v6. That is, they were going to call it version 6 but decided it doesn't have enough in it to justify making it a new major version. That way they could have a beta page for v6 (that was found), but not be keeping anything up their sleeves.

Personally I expect little to nothing from LM at FS Expo other than the usual marketing spiel and probably highlighting the 5.4 release. I would love to be wrong, but I doubt I am.

I am still on 5.3 but wondering what is broken in 5.4 that needs a hot fix?

The latest 4.5 update came online about the same time v5 emerges. Anything is possible.

Can not install any orbx scenery due to crashes after a few minutes.

Hi,

Just to clarify, do you mean P3D crashes if you try to load Orbx sceneries when you start the sim up? If so, what Orbx sceneries are being loaded? This would be helpful to know.

If you really mean it crashes on Orbx scenery installation, I am a bit confused because the Orbx sceneries are usually installed through the Orbx Central app which is stand-alone and for this you do not need P3D up and running.

 

Can you explain further the situation you are facing?

I've flown about 30 hours on Vatsim with version 5.4 and have had no issues with the update.

I mean that all flight works perfect without any of orbx  installed but after installed global base pack and open lc etc. the simulator is freezing after a few minutes after takeoff from same airports. Never happened before with 5.1 5.2 or 5.3. rolled back to client 5.3 and everything is fine.

Does one of your Orbx add-ons rely on their Objectflow (or whatever it's called)? Maybe it's not compatible...

I am not sure but when I only have 

global base pack installed the sim freezes

after a few minutes.

Open ORBX Central under P3D bottom left ORBX Objectflow and ORBX Libraries need to be installed check you have them.

You should have Objectflow installed as well.
