Thank you, Dean, for your suggestions - and the screenshots, of course. When overthinking it soberly, I've needed Orbx Central 'only' for installation, eventual updates or the detection of new products. The latter two , I fear, won't come true for P3Dv6. And the installation is - hopefully - a once and forever - procedure. I've got all sceneries installed within the P3Dv5 folder, except for those, which required the external library. So I'm thinking about cheating to Orbx Central: At the moment a mere theoretical plan: Rename all paths from "Prepar3D v5" to "Prepar3D v5.old", then rename all paths from "Prepar3D v6" to "Prepar3D v5". Then run Orbx Central to "re-install" the sceneries (most probably into a library folder!). When finished, rename back all folders before running P3D again - and ... (I hope!) voilá! Has anyone already tried this way? Michael

Which leaves the question open, whether Orbx Central will work with P3Dv6. I have the complete collection of P3Dv5 sceneries from Orbx, which I highly appreciate, and I'd also highly appreciate to be able to manage them via Orbx Central. The method of using the v5 installation is a kind of workaround for me, which I - honestly - don't like much, as one of my reasons to stick with Orbx was the unique and flawless mangement of scenery configuration and installation. And they all are compatible with each other. I know, that the community for P3D is a shrunken one, but it still exists. Please don't let us down. Thanks in advance. Michael.

Greatest news for P3D users since long! I'll postpone my round-the-world-flight until P3D will be the first flightsim ever to have the whole planet showing enhanced landclasses! Would be interesting to learn about the percentages of users for each of the 'large' sims... Michael.

Wowowowow !!!!! I wonder whether that really is TE NL - never had it load so fast (abbout 3-4 minutes) and displayed SO smooth! I've got 20-30 fps - the same as with standard scenery! Micko - THANK YOU for your tip . I'm discovering a new universe of P3D - due to your help! Michael P.S.: I wonder, which functions of Acronis are now ommitted... P.P.S: although now, over Amsterdam, P3D itself creates "run out of graphic memory" - crashes. I hope THAT is only caused by the "version X.0-effect" ...

Yep. True Image 2020 with all its collateral apps... ? Michael

I've got two 1080's in SLI mode (I know, v5 doesn't yet support SLI), with 8GB each. Strange enough, deactivating TE NL, but leaving TE GB (north, central and south) active, works. @ReinFlight I've already left P3D for a whole afternoon (> 6 hours!) and it didn't get beyond 5%... Michael

Hi, My installation of P3D - no other addons yet but Orbx Global, US,EU,AU,NZ plus openLCs - works wonderful and - for the first time in my personal flightsim history (which started with FS3.0 somewhen in the '80s) - without stuttering. But... As soon as I add TE Netherlands to the scenery library (installation via Orbx Central v4.1.6), the scenery loading of P3D hangs at 5% - for hours, never yet to have come beyond it. Removing TE NL - via OC4 - makes it run again seamlessly. Some people here post screenshots from TE sceneries with P3Dv5 - so it should work. What's the trick? Michael
