From 5.4 back to 4.5?

Hi all,

I was the OP of this thread. Thanks to all for the replies. I decided to stay with 5.4. Perhaps in the near future migrate to v6 when more airports and ac come available for it. The first ORBX products are compatible (global, vector, some LC products). Only ORBX central needs to be upgraded for v6 support.

I'd like to say that I really love P3D 5.4. Today I just sat at EGPH (ORBX) for one hour just watching the AI traffic (AIG), listening to ATC and looking at the clouds and how that changed (ASP3d active). It was an immersive feeling. The lighting, the incoming and outgoing traffic and so on; everything was just very fine.

And then there are so much things I haven't touched yet: 

  • ATC program (like P2ATC, VOX or another one with speech recognition
  • GSX; never tried yet
  • Flying the big jets; I haven't come further yet then 2 engines turboprops
  • VATS
  • VATSIM; haven't tried 
  • All the scenery that's available for it; payware and freeware. I already have about 30 airports from ORBX and a few other payware.
  • Also the photoscenery that's available; what's his name who posts here in the forum with his photoreal scenery; thought it is Matthias. Wanna try that too.
  • Also want to learn how I can upgrade airports with ADE and other tools; specifically making FSX/P3D1,2,3,4 airports suitable for v5. Look what they do at simmershome.de. Looks very nice imho.

Still so much to discover the coming years.

By the way; next month I will be 63 years old and start enjoying an early retirement. So plenty of time for P3D!!

I forgot one thing. Hope to help people in this forum, ORBX and P3D forum, who run into problems. As a community we are strong and can keep P3D alive for the coming decades. 🙂

Plenty of time?  There's plenty of games.  For flightsim, try MSFS and DCS for variety and become an all-around flight simmer! 🙂

Gaming revenues are now TWICE as large as movie ticket sales revenues.

How about you do not deviate the subject? Thank you.
