What's the VERDICT on P3d V6?

[amsfsx02501]

Went from P3D  v4.5 to P3D v6 and haven’t had any major issues though for max compatibility I also have v5.

I tried v6 and went back to v5.4 because v6 HDR cannot be disabled. The v6 world looks gloomy / brownish as if I am looking through sunglasses, v5.4 with HDR disabled looks much better for me.

Maybe HDR cannot be turned off completly (without going into .cfg file) but just look at the lighting control offered in V6 compared to any previous version.

Sparkrite, thanks for your advice, I have been aware of the settings you mentioned, tried different values but that did not improve things much. Anyway, I deleted v6 last year, nowadays I mainly use DCS and sometimes MSFS 2024.

Thanks, Henk.

You can change the lighting in the sim in real time and adjust the effect to your liking.

G-RFRY.....

Where does one find the Saab340 for p3dV6?

I flew the 340B & B+ for a few years about 25 years ago in the RW and really enjoyed my time on it.

I would love to have it for V6.

Thanks.

Carenado.com or SimMarket to save a few bucks, but it's not officially for v6.

Looks like last supported P3D version was v4. So it likely needs some fiddling with the installer to get it running in P3D v6

Did you have to do anything to get that LOWK working right or did it work "right out of the box"? I use P3D v5.4 and want to get a LOWK scenery but don't want to spend the money if it doesn't work in v5.4 (it was made for P3D v4)

Thank you for posting this. I have never seen visual comparisons of adjusting  the sliders in the Live Graphics Settings. VERY  helpful.

This can be done in P3Dv5xx also, check out the YouTube vid in the chaseplane thread above this on settings in P3Dv5 at about 52min.
