Steve Colbert Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 After long disuse of my P3D I recently installed 5.3 then an "affinity mask" along with the Orbx TrueEarth sceneries and I'm now having the time of my simming life with velvety smooth FPS unlike any I've experienced before in any sim - 60FPS over Los Angeles or Seattle (No, I don't have my settings "full right" either nor have I tried AI traffic other than ships and Larry's ferries yet, but with the smoothness and Orbx photoscenery and bespoke POIs and airports I'm having a great deal of fun - the P3Dv5 team did a great job on this build. Some quick trip shots - Orbx Burbank to Palm Springs through TrueEarth Southern California P3Dv5.3. The lovely Art Deco Burbank Climbing out, lovely Orbx downtown LA in distance over the Hollywood hills. Downtown LA again as we head East. Rounding the corner into Palm Springs Final approach....water park looks refreshing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice views of your tour Steve. I really like the new 5.3 for smoothness as well. So much good simming to do, so little time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone - I suspect many of you have a lot of cool Orbx content and maybe already have a Prepar3D license for the latest version...if so, and you’ve not tried P3Dv5.3 with the hotfix yet I highly recommend giving it a whirl, fun stuff, still amazed by how smooth it is (and their new Jobscheduler entries in the .cfg really help with the right settings, I’ve found). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Excellent screenies, Steve, and I understand where you come from. For my part, I'll think I stick to MSFS, although I have all TE sceneries for both P3D and XP11. It is just too convenient to be able to hop to any corner of this world and have it in TE quality. For this convenience I am willing to accept some of the shortcomings of MSFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
