[P3D v5 Flight Planner with Vector is very slow]

Thank you for the clarification @Nick Cooper.  So basically if we want maximum fidelity with other Orbx add-ons, add Orbx's Vectors.  If we have only Orbx Vectors and nothing else, it would make sense to disable it and use P3D's built-in vectors instead.

Why is anyone using Vector with P3D v5? I seem to have read in the forum that it is no longer necessary. I have not installed it. Am I missing something?

Great question.  The Orbx store page says the Vector is specially made for v5.  I used it with FSX and just want to get my money's worth.  :-)

[P3D v5 Flight Planner with Vector is very slow]

I purchased P3D 5.2 for the first time last weekend after years of using FSX.  I do not have Orbx Global Vectors in the P3D Add-On option - I am guessing that is for an older version of v5.  However, in the Scenery Library, leaving Orbx!VECTOR_3DV5_EXX checked causes the flight planner to be very slow, whether creating a complex flight or loading a flight from a planner.  The planner/sim also hangs if I tell the planner to move my aircraft to the starting location.  Unchecking _EXX before planning and then rechecking it after planning helps a lot.  Like Nick said, it is an extra 20 seconds or so to re-check _EXX but it beats waiting ~5 minutes total when leaving _EXX checked.
