High resolution seems to be locked for PRO license only $. I tried the free version which allows up to medium res, and the textures looked very blurry for flights below cruise. Its a pass for me, something feels off about this whole addon.

Yeah Marco, Thats the same doc I sent Jose. Really good. Says the DC3 really needed some strong legs to keep coordinated. I am curious how these DC3 addons compare to the real data now.

When I was very young, I had a friend that used to say all kinds of lie to impress his friends. He once told me he could dive really deep in FS98 or so, and see the Titanic!! Maybe now it will actually be a possibility after all!! 🤣

I am an owner of. the P3D V5 Concorde, The 3rd point as mentioned by Ray Proudfoot is the reason this plane is gathering dust in the Hangar for me. Unfortunately, locking operation of the main Concorde systems, leaving for the Virtual Flight Engineer to do the job, takes away all the fun from operating this amazing plane. It feels as if a new Sim launched with incredible features, but I am barely allowed to touch anything, and can only watch the latest gen of AI doing all the job for me. Where is the fun in that?

There is a Prepar3d v6 version coming, and they seem to be also working on a Msfs rendition. So like said here, i think they have redone a lot to make this v4, since they will probably use it as base for all these Future ports. Agree! Love these classic jets! They have a Prepar3d v6 version in the works Jose! But i maybe its worth a shot with the P3D v5.

It seems that Xtreme Prototype has launched their v4 version of their Learket 25 addon for P3D. I have always heard good things of the previous ones. I wonder if Anyone tried this one yet to give us a quick review?

I think I have found the reason for the CTD. Complete reinstall of P3D. Addons installed one by one. Also reinstalled all those VisualStudio packages. Seems to be fine for now

Great story Jose! I will be picking up that one, might I even suggest a 3d billboard should be added "Here the Legendary Jcomm AKA Uninstaller took his first steps in Aviation" !! 😁😎

Most important info left out in that list imo. Amy was announced as an official Laminar Employee. She is only the Developer who made the UNS for the Q400, probably one of the best implementations of an FMC in a desktop sim. Its INCREDIBLE news for XP12. Similar to WorkingTitle coming to MSFS2020, no joke. Her expertise can bring truly state of the art navigation systems as default into XP12

Wow! Looking forward to this one! I like what I see 🙂

Not making a criticize of X-plane or the addons involved. But if you are looking for a convertion to flying the real 747, look no further than PSX 747-400 Sim. It's just perfect for the objetive you need the Sim for. Just the most accurace representation of a 747 in a Simulator.

Wow!! Finally good mesh for Brazil in X-PLane! Thank you so much, will check that for sure! I'm curious which source you are using. Is it the latest SRTM?

Pete, The terms may be the same, but what I was trying to say is that even though you can get the frames to be as even as possible, ex. no stutter at 20fps, having the same sim running at 60fps does a lot for the sense of fluidity for the human brain. I Mean fluid because I remember water, it's continous, it doesn't go in small chunks, and the same with the sim at 60fps, it has enough data all the time so the eyes don't perceive any jump in the image, it's just a fluid simulation all the time. About the eye not able to see over 24fps, that's such a myth. The newer VR Glasses such as Oculus Rift has been having a tough job to make proper 3d because we need more than 60Hz all the times in order for out brain not to perceive the screen, and therefore not get ourselves dizzy by using it for longer periods of time. I believe around 75Hz is the sweet spot for humans. Have any of you guys seen the Hobbit movie on cinemas running at 48Fps instead of 24fps? It's such a monster difference, it made me MUCH more impressed than any 3d technology. Really

I really can't imagine not being able to see the difference between 20 and 60 fps. Even though 20fps is way smoother than 60 in Prepar3d, meaning that I don't get Stutter, the fluidity of 60FPS is unbeatable. Unfortunately P3D at 60fps at all times is something no current PC is able to do nowadays

Hey Ed, As a Pilot, I love these training scenarios that we can try at home that will make any pilot cry for help, and if the worse happens, we can restart and try again. Any way of someone without the very expensive sims to get these scenarios to try on their home computers?
