I have experimented with EA in P3d over the years and never liked it. The clouds, fog and haze gave me the willies.
Personally, I use REX Sky Force (with the weather engine turned off) to set up the clouds and atmospherics (I generally only change them once a year) and then ActiveSky P3d for my live weather each time I fly.
ActiveSky P3D | HiFi Simulation Technologies (hifisimtech.com)
I find the combination perfect for me all around the world.

On the GSX Forum, over at FSDT, there had been discussion for the past couple of months about improvements and features that people wanted. The moderators hinted that when they roll out the MSFS version (Seems they were waiting for the program interface capability to settle down), they would roll out all the improvements on the P3d version as well.
People were looking out for that day, however...
They now have the two new versions in circulation and neither of them are working as they should.
I don't know what resources they have, but trying to fix two versions, at the same time, would be very demanding.
I'm sure they will get it right.

It is a GSX issue. They launched a new MSFS version last week and the P3d version has never been the same.
They are working on problems frantically and have updates daily.
You need to run the updater each day to keep up.
I have the isolated parking at quite a few airports at the moment (including YMML)
You can keep up with the progress here:

Brian, I get my new PC builds and upgrades (to my many PCs) from MSY Computers MSY | Your one stop computer pc online shop
It is good to have a local store. They have good deals on new packages and very responsive to unusual or specialised requirements.

I don't have that? Never have. I'm on V5.3HF2 + Fly TAmpa YSSY (+ all Orbx)
I use an older version of Nvidia driver with an RTX 2070 Super card. (I think the driver is way back at v456?)
Very smooth. No artifacts.

I un-installed MSFS, over a year ago, as it did not have multi-monitor support for my 4 external monitors. Therefore, have stayed very happily with P3d v5.3HF2. I also got fed up with all the compulsory updates preventing the occasional use.
I noticed this morning that the SU10 beta, now has this multi screen support available for testing.
I was wondering if anyone is testing it, could they report how it goes here, regarding frame rates, any stutters, and how it is implemented?

Updated Skyforce 3D to the new version yesterday. Pretty painless and all OK.

If you purchase Bathurst (YBTH) airport, that was released a few years ago, on top of Australia V2, you get a pretty good representation of Mt Panorama. Do a search on this forum and you will see some pix.

Could they be low altitude CubeSats?
De-orbiting to 7,500ft and holding in geo-stationary orbit? As real as it gets?

You are correct Larry. I remember now. That is exactly what I did to correct the problem.
I think it helped lower my VRAM usage a little as well.
With my settings, and 4 external 1080 monitors, I still go through my 7-8Gb limit, in bad weather, over Sydney.
Fair weather is fine.

I had that problem? P3d V5.3HF, plus FlyTampa YSSY, plus Orbx Sydney. I think I followed advice on the forum and it went away. You might need to do a search.
I don't have it any more.

Grasping at straws for you.
Have you tried deleting the P3d Shaders folder? It will rebuild. (You can just move it temporally to your desktop if you want to be cautious.)
It does not hurt as sometimes files are created in there, that can cause problems, as they are never erased.

Nice shots. Curious your AC is the only object producing shadows at Christchurch.

When I moved from v4.5 to v5.1 (Think it was last year) I wanted to be sure everything worked and I that had the latest versions of the scenery to suit v5.+ I also wanted to move everything, except the Base scenery packages, out of the sims root directory for a cleaner install.
Basically, I opened Orbx Central and began uninstalling the packages one by one. This quickly deletes the scenery from the drive but keeps the Orbx backups you have. All items still appear in My Products. After having installed v5.1 (and running it once) I began the process of installing the scenery. I followed the instructions that John pointed us to. This time I put most of the scenery into a Library on a second SSD.
I haven't had any problems with layering or incorrect versions.

Have you tried ticking the: "Use System Time for Default Scenario"?

Well done John. Thank you
A very nice video. I particularly appreciate the low flight over the Kalgoorlie and Boulder centres after take off.
It is well constructed scenery for the airport, and the surrounds, with nice detail in the trees and dry foliage. The sky in the video looks familiar to me with the area having just an average of 11 inches (270mm) of rain in a year.
Thanks again.

Weird colours Brad.
Have you done google search for the 'Super Pit Kalgoorlie' ? Heaps of images there. Maybe the mesh is offset to one side?
I must say, having lived in Kal for many years, I have never seen a sky in any of the images like that? Is that a defect in MSFS or REX Weather Force?

I apologize Anna, I did not realize the situation for Eugene. I will keep my head down and will be patient.
Stay safe.

Thank you for the update Anna but, did I miss where the long awaited Asia scenery development is for the the P3d Flight Simulator?
I'm sure those P3d developers are disappointed they did not even get a mention in an Orbx release?
Seems to be all about the continuously, fault correcting, MS Scenery Simulator, or the Xbox Game, without multiscreen capability?
Imagine if Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word had been released to business in the same state? There would have been an uproar from the users.
Instead, users put up with 60Gb 'development updates'.
I have to admit though, screen captures from the MSFS Simulator are great, but I think the package is a long way from being accepted as a true interfaceable Flight Simulator like the Lockheed Martin P3d.
My opinion.

This is a screen grab of me parked at Gate 5.
Are you sure you haven't modified the parking positions with GSX at some stage?
Maybe you need to press 'verify files' for YSCB in Orbx Central. Do you have Orbx Canberra City as well? If you installed it last then P3d may be using that AFCAD file?

Hello Toucan,
As John says, Orbx Central can install copies of the version 5 scenery for you after you have installed P3d V5.2HF1 onto your PC and it knows where it is installed. The problem is though, that the Version 5 scenery is different to the V4 scenery and is installed into a different library, or into LM V5.2. That means your drive space requirements double.
After running V5.2 for the first time, I knew I wasn't going to go back to 4.5 so, before I installed each of my 90 or so Orbx scenery packages in 5.2, I uninstalled it from 4.5 in Orbx Central. It completely removes it and makes the space available.
Takes time but is worth it.
Then you have to make sure you update your other add-ins (Active Sky, Skyforce etc.) Some you need to pay for - others you don't.

Well done, John.
Very impressive. Looking forward to doing similar when the multiple screen feature is fully developed.
