Why I like P3D 4.5 in 3 words

There is a terrain brightness setting in EnvPlus. Saturation, I’m not sure.

Performance. I don't want to turn this into a 4 vs 5 thread, so I'll stop here.

I understand. I'm asking because the newest version of Xtreme Prototype's Learjet 25D is available only in P3D v5, and the Learjet is my go-to plane in P3D. I know the Learjet will be available in MSFS but it's been awhile. I suspect the dev is probably (prudently) waiting to release it for MSFS 2024. If I am the developer of the Learjet I'd hesitate to release a new plane for MSFS 2020 too when MSFS 2024 is just around the corner.

The Milviz radars don't work.

A big one for me since it's used in Xtreme Prototype's Learjet 25.

The Milviz radar was one of my best purchases in P3D. Got it dirt-cheap too for about U$7(?) before they removed it from the market.

I’m flying that aircraft in v5.3HF2 and using Roland’s free gauge in a popup window. Not as good as being embedded but at least it works. And if Roland can manage it why couldn’t Milviz? 🤨

My understanding was that the radar was actually developed by REX Simulations which makes sense since it is weather related? Good question though. If a Roland can do it why not REX. Similarly, in MSFS if PMS40 and TDS could do it, why couldn't Reality-XP?

Maybe it's just me, but does the 'white' color on the aircraft look like the color white to you? To me it looks like the color 'white' has a different shade of 'white' (darker) in the new version of the aircraft.

I’m using the GB livery which is predominantly blue. Which livery are you using? Colours seem okay.

All of the liveries described as having a white color looked like they have a dark shade ("XP Gates Learjet 25 v4 Basic - (CHE) White, Red and Gold") in comparison to the white theme liveries in previous versions eg. "XP Gates Learjet 25 v3 - Classic Panel - Paint # 21".

I'm on v3 so can't really help, sorry. The v3 white fuselages look white. Have you contacted them to ask why the colours are different?

No. The livery selection in both are completely different so it would be like comparing apples to oranges. I'm happy with P3D v4.5 with the Learjet v3. Everything in the version works as designed eg. radar.
