September 4, 20232 yr I own the P3Dv6 license. Completely uninstalled. Orbx is taking a very long time to create the official installer. People forget, for v4 and v5. That option was pretty much enabled on day 1 release of Prepar3d. To me this is not on their top priority list. We all have to accept reality. Prepar3d is alive and well for the commercial market (but for me sadly 5.4 is it for now). The commercial users are using Chase Plane and ActiveSky nicely, and this is the sim of choice for me if I was a commercial user. I have zero interest to tweak P3D by fooling third party installers to load into v6. I just can't spare the time for it now. Work and Family takes priority. There was a time when I could spare time to tweak things to my heart's content but not anymore. And I want official proper support for all my addons. Blame LM for this. I am assuming that they were going through some management changes in the middle - they took forever to release 5.4 and all the developers were out of loop for v6. I can't use any of my high fidelity addons for 5.4 in v6. I got the blues Honestly v6 should have been v5 in the first place or v5.5 Edited September 4, 20232 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
September 4, 20232 yr @Skywolf Seriously? Everyone is free to learn. No one prevents you from that. Just, learn. It's not difficult. We all learn through our lives.

As for assigning blame, not so sure. LM’s basic platform and how they deliver it has not really changed. What has changed is the movement of developers to another platform. It was that event that allowed a flight sim platform to be utilized for home use that it was never designed for to become a non-starter for many. That said, I’m still running 5.3 continuing to visit ORBX airports and scenery that I bought some time ago, but never installed. Could be busy for quite a while. 😀 Also, Rogen’s work with 4.5 is an inspiration with what you can do with what tools you already have. He don’t need no stinking updates. 😂 Edited September 6, 20232 yr by Ray Proudfoot Quoted image removed.
