But ask that you have V. 4.4 .... minimum. System Requirements Minimum Physically based rendering (PBR) requires Prepar3D Version 4.4 and above. How can I know which version 4 .... do I have? ... I hope your help, please !!! Also if you go the the Lockheed Martin P3D site where you purchased P3Dv4.x you will see the latest download available in your downloads section. The latest one with a HotFix was v 4.5.14.34698 You can compare that number version with the one you found in the Help menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badl4ndz Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 @Jarrad Marshall Your coverage map pinpoints "Six Flags Park". I've flown up to Six Flags Magic Mountain and found it to be just flat photoscenery. Should this be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch - this feature was dropped at the last minute due to time constraints (ie after the map artwork was made and posted), but is marked for inclusion in a service pack.

Tarval Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I am very sad because my version is 4.3.29.25520. I ask ... do I have no chance to install it? ... and in your experience I should upgrade it because otherwise I will not be able to use it. I thank you in advance for your advice.

It would be a good idea to update your v4 to the latest version regardless, as there have been many major improvements to the core sim and performance since v4.3. From an addon scenery or aircraft point of view, the biggest issues you are likely to run into using your old version relate to: PBR - any aircraft/scenery that use PBR will not display textures correctly when using older versions (PMDG also talk about this issue here). Airport elevation issues - the way airport flattens/altitude adjustments work was fundamentally changed late last year. Using an older version of P3D will mean that some new airports may not display runways/ground details correctly. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not hesitate in upgrading as V5 is outstanding in terms of frame rates and look. There will be a bit of pain as other add ons catch up but you will find v4 will date very quickly now. I am so happy with v5 I have deleted v4.5 and I wont be going back, its like going back to FSX now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarval Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I thank everyone for their attention to my concern. I have no choice but to upgrade my P3D v 4.3 to P3D v 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badl4ndz Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 For P3D V5 users, they have just released Prepar3D v5.0 Hotfix 2 (5.0.31.35253) https://www.prepar3d.com/news/announcements/2020/06/116953/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
