Adam Banks Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'm delighted to see that the "The Crown Jewel" of Milford Sound has been updated to v5. I managed to grab these shots before becoming disenchanted with v5 altogether (!): We have waterworks again! And now ... featuring the amazing Avro 621: I think we all know where this one is! Adam.

Only the C172 (ZK-TAS - part of the Ardmore fleet). I think there are quite a few liveries around for that excellent freeware Avro. 2 minutes ago, Kev D said: Nice ones, Adam.

BrianV Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Jack, I think v5 is really a huge step forward with truesky. Over time problems will be overcome. Any new sim has some hickups that eventually are fixed. v4.5 with hotfixes has been great too, though 4.0 or 3.0 not as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice with EA on but I'm hesitant to use it because it flickers so much, and I'm gun shy when I see "beta" like the FSX DX10 preview. And I've had way too many CTD's as well as an Event Viewer crash log every single time I close the new sim, even with no CTD's it still gives an Event Viewer app crash log. Lockheed Martin had not even shown the slightest interest in my post about it. I stopped adding all my Orbx stuff and stopped using it. To me it's almost criminal what LM did, they took my money for, in my opinion, a lousy pre-alpha. I'll gladly go back to it after it leaves "beta."

Well I've ditched v5 until the trees stop smoking, the airfields stop flashing, the hills don't look like The Stairway to Heaven, & the CTD's stop. & the conifers don't look like telephone poles spray painted in dark green with 1/2 a tree glued onto 1 side (shot #3, LHS). I'll have another look around HF24 TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Could be. Let me clarify that my irritation is not with Adam's shots, he is among the best in the business, but rather with the endless tweaking I have had to apply to try & get around v5' shortcomings. So I'm back in v4.5 & tidying it up before heading out in 1 of the many aircraft I can't fly in v5. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that you can not add VRAM of two graphics cards on top of each other when using SLI? You still get "only" 12GB of VRAM. I don't think that P3Dv5 has the DX12 stacking implemented...

Adam Banks Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Attention - mods!!!! I'm quite interested in following up some of the comments here, but I'm aware that this is meant to be primarily a screenshots area. Is there a more appropriate place you could suggest we carry on this chat? I'm thinking Prepar3D discussion - no support requests please:https://orbxsystems.com/forum/forum/129-prepar3d-discussion-no-support-requests-please/ .... or just General Discussion:https://orbxsystems.com/forum/forum/8-general-discussion-no-support-requests-here-please/ Of course - if you have no objection, we'll carry on here!!

I hope to get some more V5 flights in and I report back for sure . Could you do me a favor & take a GA flight out of S43, Harvey Field. I've lost the train in v5 & v4.5. It used to be moving next to the airfield when you loaded up & the aircraft 1st appeared at the end of the runway, waiting to take off. It was to the right of the airfield. The 3 balloons & the moving truck I can still see. There appears to be a stationary train stuck on a curve by the timber mill, but the 'old' train used to move. Trying to figure out if its an 'objects' matter or something else. Thanks TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
