Quick question here: The remark about the 2D clouds is very good, because it's important to note for the OP that P3Dv5 was the first iteration to bring volumetric clouds, to witch REX cloud textures do not apply (textures are only for the 2D clouds). However, how is it about the sky colors, and the sunlight+atmospheric effects, from a shaders point of view ? Didn't REX bring something in that area ? Or was it another addon ?

PS: with your specs and the addons you mention, you'll do fine in either v4.5 or 5.4. AFAIK, there are only two v5-only addons I know of (FSL Concorde and iFly 737 Max), but I don't know if you're interested on them.

Yeah REX does bring sky colors, etc. but that is assuming you do not use the enhanced atmospherics option in the sim (my personal preference is having EA on + 2D clouds). 🙂 i9 14900K / Corsair Nautilus RS ARGB liquid CPU Cooler / MSI Z790 Tomahawk WiFi / 64GB Trident DDR5 RAM @ 7200 mhz / 24GB Gainward 3090 Geforce RTX / 2 TB SSD WD Black SN850X NVMe / 1 TB SSD Samsung 990 Pro series / 2 TB SSD Samsung 980 Pro Series / 500 gb and 250 gb SSD Samsung Evo 850 / RM1000W Corsair PSU - P3Dv5.4, X-Plane 12, X-Plane 11 and FSX
February 18, 20251 yr Thanks for the clarification ! But then, isn't there an addon to customize the shaders of the Enhanced Atmospherics ?

But works like a charm with a lot of them (I am using PMDG DC-6 for P3D v4 !) Most of ORBX scenery are just perfect - and V6 is looking much better than V4 and V5 with better performance. Just take a look here : https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/223596-customer-experiences-with-p3d-v4-and-p3d-v5-products-in-p3d-v6/ Gérard
February 18, 20251 yr Author Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will take my time now and start building the p3dv5.4 sim! I really hope that my TCA throttle quadrant will work 🙂 Thanks again everyone for the input cheers

February 18, 20251 yr Oops TOGA Projects … Yes, and FSUIPC can see any device and do just about anything with it … it’s a “magical” tool to say the least.

Agreed, but they could do with hiring a marketing person and/or someone who can represent their "public" image as the developers and company owners do themselves NO favors (in any aspect from sales to support).

Just to add: the payed version of FSUIPC is able to run "LUA scripts". That needs some fiddling but supports enhanced steering aircraft by USB controllers (switches, buttons a.s.o.).
