I've used Rex Sky Force (by itself) with p3d 5.3, and it works fine, there is a click selection for v5.3 in Sky Force's settings.

Well....its been over a month since I started this thread or topic on whether there would be a new version of p3d arriving on the horizon. But. It would seem I was wrong regarding this (referncing their new entry on October 18th) so maybe v6 may never arrive?🤔 Never mind, we'll see.

Personally found that most of the FSX planes work ok in p3d 5.3, some minor issues, hardly anything wrong. Just copy the planes over from your installed copy of FSX Simobjects > Airplanes folder, and put them into similar p3d folder. I think you'll have to remove (and if I were you - save them outside the folder) the Beaver & the Goose, from the p3d folder, they are ones without a panel, and are AI aircraft. Should be good to go then. Always thought those two aircraft looked pretty nifty in FSX.

Why don't you just turn on the two airports you are going to be flying between in the scenery hierarchy? Why would you need the other airports turned on if you aren't going to be visiting them while simming?😊

Don't forget to clean out the old folders from your previous version of p3d when you want things to start off on a new footing!😐 For a Clean Uninstall, please manually delete the following 6 folders: Local Disk (C:) ► Program Files ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D vx (or the modified install location) Documents ► Prepar3D vx files Documents ► Prepar3D vx Add-ons Local Disk (C:) ► ProgramData ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D vx Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Roaming ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D vx Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Local ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D vx

One of the things that was always missing I thought - from FSX/p3d, was a decent VFR map, one that showed things on it - like the maps on skyvector.com, with a decent amount of detail, and large enough on screen for you to interact with it well. The present one just doesn't cut it really, it dates right from the beginning of fsx, even fs2004 I think. Have to use Little Navmap to fill that void.😦

I think one should ask oneself is - what kind of improvements would the military like to see in a new version of p3d? Because its primarily supposed to be a military training aid isn't it? The USAF use it. How about.....showing the names of streets or placenames on the terrain....y'know, just press a key combination, and the terrain textures will change to a map texture? Think the military might like something similar to the sim that cannot be named, and have decent satellite terrain imagery on the terrain, to help pilots have a better awareness of their locale they are interacting with. Maybe more accurate aerodynamics? Online weather? Different Air Forces I'm sure would have put forward some suggestions for a better iteration of p3d, so they would be more willing to buy it in the future?😐

Don't know about all of them, maybe its just the ones shown in the pics. If the pics show vers 6 rather than vers 5, then the clouds will look just the same really. Not much of a fan of the clouds in the current version, thats why I use Rex Sky Force with p3d v5.3.

Although it says: "Prepare yourself"? We have to be ready for something different? You have to be able to pickup on impled nuances as a message.😉🤩

Was posted 18 October, and is just a short reference to a company that makes scenery - airfields/airports. But it occurred to me that the header title: "Prepare Yourself for Challenging Approaches" could mean that we should prepare ourselves for a new version of p3d with these sceneries coming with it. The clouds in the pictures are all p3d vers 5 clouds. What do you think?😊 https://www.prepar3d.com/ https://www.prepar3d.com/p3d-developer-network/2022/10/121041/

I'd set everything back to default in the graphics settings, and go from there, also the same in the nvidia control panel, set that back to its base settings, and then change things incrementally. You may find out the particular graphics setting that is the problem. (if it isn't someat to do with your hardware)😅

Think you all must be missing something here but version 1 of AMD FSR has been available to use for quite some time now in MSFS, you don't need an AMD graphics card to use it, my PC has a Nvidia 1060 and have this scaling technology running with my 2k monitor. The FSR version 2 has yet to be announced to be implemented in MSFS. Certainly helps to run the sim more smoothly for me.😊

I have Heathrow by UK2000 in p3d v5.3, and its fine. Nice detail. Good quality.

Just try resetting everything back to default, that can often fix things.
