Going Back to P3Dv5

I'm honestly thinking about going back to v4.5

Mainly due to addon compatibility from devs like MilViz, et al.

Though I really enjoyed the perf enhancements in v5.x, I find myself pining for "fully supported" addons, and that dropped off sharply after v5.x...

I hear you.

Look up Rogen on this site. What he’s done with 4.5 is amazing.

He’d be a valuable resource given his success with that version.

I did love 4.5, but do not be afraid...5.4 is also amazing!

I keep both 4.5 and 5.4 in parallel.  SSDs are pretty cheap these days...

I went slightly backward, that is, to 5.3 so I can use Simstarter. Couldn't do 5.4 without it.

Why didn't I think of that.

There is a quick fix on the SimstargerNG Forum for 5.4. It allows to start 5.4 but has no other adjustments.

OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons)
Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft

MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet! Pure Loop II FX
GPU=KFA2 RTX3090 24 GB, RAM=64 GB DDR5-5600, HOTAS=Logitech G Saitek X52 Pro

No other adjustments? I don’t understand.

Me too.....🙂

So one month after the 6.0 release, most people never made the switch to 6.0 and for the few who did it, most of them are back to 5.4?

We know some have. For me, it's pointless from any perspective to attempt to make 6.0 look like 5.x unless you have a lot of free time and unlimited patience. There is little to no development for the platform. Maybe ORBX will pull a rabbit out of the hat but other than that.....

As I've mentioned in another post, the pendulum never stops moving. P3D is not done and they're willing to wait. They have the time and the (our) money to do so.

I don't now how to do it but I'd love to see a poll on this.
