shermank Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 After reading some recent comments about Vector in 5.2 and whether it is needed or not, I installed it yesterday. So far, aside from the additional load time, I have no noticed any real differences. I will keep it active for a while for no special reason except interest in whether it makes any difference.

W2DR Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have it installed but it's disabled. I don't see any differences either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I think I'm a little late to the party here as I haven't been "flying" much lately. Did Orbx just release Vector for V5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hello Jack, it's been out for a year, free to those who already own Vector for any other simulator. P3D v5 has its own updated vector data but the Orbx product offers a few more options and when it was released, it also fixed some anomalies in the default data. Whether you need it is a matter of choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say whether I need it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hello javk, because of the substantial update to the vector data in P3D v5, the difference between default and Vector is less obvious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick. I see, but I only did the Client, not Content or Scenery so will that make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 No, the vector update has been there since P3D v5 was released. If you want all the updates though, it is far better to update all three parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd have to re-do a lot of things like FSUIPC, not sure really. I'm too busy with other things now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also get a few more art assets with Vector, including highway underlays, and Railroads. Also, Prime, Secondary, and Tertiary road networks as well.
