gumbypickett Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 G'day guys I am slowly, slowly moving up in the world of P3d. I'm thinking about purchasing V5. I only fly Aus and N.Z and I am curious if there are any on going issues within these regions? I have all Orbx products for these areas. Thanks for any help. cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be especially so in some scenery - airports - and a number of popular aircraft etc. We are all waiting for the promised upgrade to V5.1 - that might jog some developers out of lethargy - hopefully recognizing that P3D is still a way of earning income. Of course - if you are NOT on any variation of P3D - or still on FSX and a library of goodies - then by all means - go for V5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 G'day John Yes I have P3dv4 at the moment. In what regards do you mean by colouration? Is there any other main issues using Orbx Aus airports and areas that you know of? Thanks for reply, cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reply, cheers Gumby Hi Gumby It's a rather involved problem as I see it - but here's hoping it might just be solved soon Meanwhile - I started a discourse on the subject so maybe you can take a look at it FYI https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/199274-t-e-Orbx-v4-and-v5-comparisons/ If you get to the end - you might note Nick's comments on the subject Meanwhile specifically - close to the ground - the problem tend to show -- but at 35000ft hardly noticeable If you have Orbx cityscapes - you will notice it BTW - the aircraft in your avatar pic - I think its the FDS - but what is the Aircraft ??

I may just go ahead with it anyway and see for myself. The price is a carton of beer to purchase.. The avatar is the de Havilland Heron used by Airlines of Tasmania back in the (I think) 80s and early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbypickett Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just now, gumbypickett said: I have a payware Heron I used in FSX may have been Just Flight. It was very popular in its time. Kendell Airlines also used it in Oz. Charles I reckon has flown on everything, FREE. cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
