Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted April 8, 2020 Root Admin Share Posted April 8, 2020 To avoid a kazillion topics about this and that is compatible with the great new sim (see this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BolhRK0tbMc) we are bundling it here. While we still have to wait for the final sim to test, we can now say that we have found very few problems with aircraft. As there is only very limited work needed we do not anticipate any update fees. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Hans Hartmann Posted April 8, 2020 Developer Share Posted April 8, 2020 Here's the CRJ Pro in P3D v5 (at default EDDF). Sorry for the huge pics.... I'm a proud 4K user 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann Posted April 8, 2020 Developer Share Posted April 8, 2020 And the A330-300: Disclaimers: 1) These screenshots show a beta version of P3D v5. The NDA has been lifted, so we're allowed to show them. However, it might not be the actual final version that's going to be released on the 14th. 2) These screenshots were made on my PC. I don't really care about looks. The only thing that interests me, is the loading time. So, no weather, no extra scenery and otherwise default settings. I'm sure P3D v5 can me made look better quite easily. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er!k Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Is there anything you can say about FPS compared to v4.5? According to LM it would be better with the introduction of DirectX12. I know FPS is not everything, but interested to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to that point, FSDreamteam's short video at KORD and comments *seem* to indicate that v5 is smoother, so we'll see. Reports by testers also say you can get better visuals at a given framerate. That isn't particularly enlightening to me, but I'll know soon enough. I'm more interested in core loads as to the cpu, as well as the gpu and vidmem usage.

Developer Hans Hartmann Posted April 8, 2020 Developer Share Posted April 8, 2020 It's impossible to compare the two without reinstalling everything. You can only compare clean installations on the same machine. As my v4.5 is usually with pretty much every add-on I own and my v5 is clean except for the A330 and CRJ, I can't make any statements about a potential FPS difference 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm seeing about a 2X increase in FPS ... specifically ORBX GB South over London and London City airport, I can run graphics setting considerably higher in V5 and still sustain 30 FPS ... same graphics settings in V4.5 give me 15 FPS. The shift to DX12 and other performance tuning has been rather dramatic for my setup and in my testing. Cheers, Rob. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has always been highly depending on how it is used and the hardware. I see in V4 hardly any difference between dynamic lighting on or off. But overall V5 is simply faster and uses the graphics card better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted April 15, 2020 Author Root Admin Share Posted April 15, 2020 As much as possible free (as far as we know know all will be free) and we are working on the full time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are working on it full time. Surely more details will be made available when they come closer to release. There's no point in distracting them with time requirements when their focus is on updating the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a bit longer than just a couple days until Aerosoft will be able to make a statement. Have some patience, until then you can still fly it in v4. 1 hour ago, trejare said: the twin otter extended is compatible for V5 ? It has not been tested yet. Airbus and CRJ first, then we'll look into other addons. You're welcome to give it a go yourself and report back with your feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
