Hi John, Rob and All thanks for getting back so quick; now I don't feel so abandoned in my coracle out in the middle of the ill-tempered North Sea. Still even simpler please. Not deliberately wanting to be a pain. In your message above, are you advising me: to re-install P3D V5.4 AND re-install all the Orbx and A2A addons AND abandon ship by uninstalling/discarding my newly bought P3D v6; OR are you advising me to try again to re-install Orbx and A2A into P3D v6 (leaving P3D V5.4 already fully uninstalled) Thank you, again Rod PS playfully, and why do people head bang? Cos it feels great when you stop, of course)

Dear Rob and All I have a favour to ask: So please tell me in simple step by step wording how this twit, me, can "move" i.e. install all my Orbx scenery, working beautifully and atmospherically (previous P3D v5.4) into the P3D v6. Many thanks. Rod PS "John Heaton, I feel your pain ....... the one and only plus was that several beers went down the hatch in the early hours of this morning vainly trying to figure out how to dig myself out this hole and impasse

Hi Brad, Don, Scott, Wayne and Wolfgang, many thanks for your encouraging responses Rod EGBB (Cheers, Friday night is beer night!)

Hi Pilots & Orbx Team just landed at fantastic Orbx Dundee with full-of-character A2A T6-Texan, from Orbx Edinburgh on EU Scotland (fair weather). THANK YOU, THANK YOU folks. This sounded, felt and looked amazing, LIKE I WAS REALLY THERE; this old classic dicing with death as I landed that old swaying classic! Really beautiful scenery; amazed at what I could see around me. When you feel ready and caught up and reset, I'm at the starting grid for even more of your fabulous British Isles scenery. Keep up the great work. No grumbles here! With superb P3Dv5.2(hf1). Rod (EGBB, silvery autumn, a touch cooler)

Wow TigerTigerM, so atmospheric and realistic!! Thank you for sharing these superb images of C-47; P3Dv5.2HF1. What an ace plane and totally ace simulator (no need for Xbox gaming alternative) Rod EGBB (right then, off for a Guinness)

Hi Jeff, delighted and just landed Exeter EGTE, and I just wanted to add that I'm getting this excellent P3D5.2 experience without the fuss of 3rd party addons (except Orbx and A2A hangar, of course on both counts). I have a joystick for controller (Logitech x52pro hotas) I don't have "Active Sky"; instead use P3D and Orbx weather themes to roughly match what I see out my window I definitely don't need FSUIPC no 3rd party onerous navigation software; instead use the default GNS ( installed with A2A planes) As Dean says, I have EA turned ON, and many of the settings sliders are high-ish; FPS capped with nVidia to 32; and that's what I got consistently throughout my Alderney to Exeter flight. Here's to "keepin' it simple"; it works for me! Rod (EGBB; real-world thunder 'n lightnin' just set car alarm off, must be close)

Thank you 'Orbx Flyer' (and latterly Dean S.) for your justifiable enthusiasm and completely credible experience to explain things in such detail. People like you will support and keep P3D (5.2) THE PLACE TO KEEP GOING TO; AND FOR THE LONG TERM. You are totally right. P3D 5.2 (hf1) is bloomin' wonderful and exciting. REAL FLYING. I've just been flying awesomely realistic A2A Cherokee from Shoreham EGKA around Channel Islands (EGJJ, EGJB,EGJA). Fabulous! Like you, Dean and Orbx Flyer, again and again, I am blown away by this ace professional flight simulator (and "populated" by world class Orbx, numero uno!) Rod EGBB (and now for a beer to calm down)

Hi Ken, thanks for asking it's definitely P3Dv5.2(hf1) for me, rather than an alternative gaming company. P3D looks great, THANKS TO Orbx, no blips except a shadier cockpit before start. It performs superb; consistently around 30fps (capped in NVidia settings), sliders at the "high end". Except at airports, obviously I don't need photoreal ground when I'm 3,000-8,000ft aloft. Rather than short-term thinking, Lockheed Martin is a perfectionist, dedicated and stable aerospace company; once bitten, twice shy with MS. I'm not a multiple fantasy-game player and don't have X-Box type thingy's. I like my software fully installed in PC and under my control rather than streamed from an invisible multi-purpose ulterior profit-motivated source, potentially compromised by profit and so potentially corruptible. Gold standard A2A planes work stunningly with P3D. Most of my GA flying is all around the British Isles and so I look for and forward to UK Scenery. At the end of the day, "chacun a son gout" "variety is the spice of life". KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TEAM-Orbx; SPECIAL THANKS TO NICK C. AND DOUG S. I've always got my credit card at the ready, especially for P3D British isles scenery. Rod EGBB (beers a-coolin' in the fridge)

Thanks Bullfox. I totally agree with you. P3D is so stunning, realistic 'n immersive; especially with the best quality GA. There's absolutely no need for me to consider the gaming company alternative. And Wayne, sorry to see yer having troubles with Aerosoft &/or Activesky, maybe. Me, I've got rid of Flight 1 GTN (cos it's out of production) and simply using A2A's default G400; reliable and sufficient! So I'm thinkin' to try and minimise 3rd parties (except Orbx, OF COURSE!). Yesterday I was tempted to use 3rd party UK 2000 airports but when I realised you've got to first delete scenery from P3D/Orbx I chickened out; "the grass is NOT greener on .........." Good luck folks! Rod EGBB (and praying for luck and inspiration re tonight's footy)
