Posted by Mathijs Kok,

The A330 has now been released for P3D V5.   While doing this new version we ran into some serious issues with V5, they are all pretty well documented in the the Prepar3D forums and as far as we know all are being looked at or worked on. But they can affect this product seriously. For example high altitude weather is totally whacky with shifting winds and temperatures normal for Pluto, not earth. Also things like CTD's when changing views (certainly on AMD GPU's). Lastly TrueGlass that

As many people have seen our busses are to a high degree compatible with P3D V5, but there are things we are changing because the sim is subtly different in some aspects. For sure we will recompile th

Just to let you know, Stefan just delivered the files for P3d V5. We still need some serious testing, installer building and testing those, but progress is good and it looks damned pretty.  We do need

Mathijis hope the beta testers are checking VRAM real problem for RTX 2080 8 gig owners . Please keep it light. If all the tests are done on TI cards us lighter card holders will be clobbered and airbus will unusable .Please make it usable PMDG 747 level of vram fine please no more. I cannot adjust any lower.

My use case is VR. VR is fantastic on V5 if the VRAM is mangeable, It can be done . I have beta tested for aerosoft and happy to try out and give warning if going to cause a problem.

Those who already have the Windows 10 May2020 update report more VRAM available in P3Dv5.

This Windows update isn't yet released to all, but to "insiders" only.

I think the full release is due out this month though. I have heard it gives more vram for V5 though

Yes on 2004 and helps a lot as long as you have not crazy vram in the plane you are flying 1024 textures are not high settings. Hopefully our airbus will be great trying out the open beta of the 717  terrified the hell out of me absolutely unusable with less than an 11gig vram card . To there credit it is a beta and believe working on issues .

It's one month with P3Dv5 now.

 

Over the last days, several scenerys, tools and even the first P3Dv5 "FMS-Aircraft" had been released.

I'm still waiting for any Aerosoft Airbus to be released, cause I can't imagine going back to fly in a Boeing environment. CRJ, Embraer: Never made me happy... The Airbus cockpit-concept is what I really like to fly.

 

I haven't been that much times on the aerosoft website ever before, like in the last weeks, to verify several times during day or night, if the big Bus has just been released...

When I saw the screenshots on monday I instantly thougt: Oh no... No release this week.

 

I hope every Light will work soon, no raindrop will crash the sim, ...

 

OK, I'll sit and wait and lookout for the release.

And: Thank you, Aerosoft. I can imagine, there's a lot of works and testing going on.

So all in all, this is the best we can do right now. If you find problems we STRONGLY advise you to look in the P3D forums first to see if it is not something related to the sim, rather then the add-on.

See here: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/946-latest-releases/

This is indeed a full installer (no other way), and currently there are no updates needed.

 

I made the new forum section so it is more clear what is what now we have 8 products on 3 platforms.

The plans now...

  1. update the P3d V4 version to 1.0.2.0 (this week)
  2. new versions of A320/A321 for P3d V5  (free update)
  3. new versions of A318/A319 for P3d V5 (free update)
  4. update the P3d V4 version of the smaller busses to match the V5 versions

EDIT: I have moved this to a new post:

 

--

 

In Prepar3D V5, with the new v5-compatible version, I am getting the same problem as with the previous version: I get a ND Log File could not be generated message and then on first render, the sim drops to 1 FPS and stays there. Not sure the two issues are related, and not sure what to do about it...

 

FYI I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the plane. No issues running the PMDG 747 and the QW A787. Using TrackIR, EZdok and latest FSUIPC.

Question for the devs, some people have recommended deleting TrueGlass folder in the Aerosoft/SimObjects folder/RR Professional. Instead of deleting, can I rename it instead to deactivate TrueGlass?

 

Also have encountered a weird CTD with no faulting module...but it happened as I was using Direct-To.

Would it be possible to share the trueglass beta version as stand-alone file(s)? I only have the 318/319 family which is working in V5 (without trueglass) but it would be nice to be able to try the trueglass effect before the full installer for the small bus is available. Many thanks for a heads-up.

I recently got the A330 after the release for v5 and i have zero issues. Very well done aircraft, generally respects all input, it has a few quirks here and there but nothing out of the ordinary. Performance is superb with my hardware and i have no P3D wind/temperature issues to report at all (obviously unrelated to the aircraft). I am an ActiveSky beta tester, i use it in all my flights and the only thing that happens is that the weather DEPICTION is not accurate yet, probably because TrueSky is still a beta implementation.

 

Regarding the Airbus:

- I wish the EGPWS sounds were of higher quality as they seem to have suffered quite a lot since the A320 family was released. They sound distorted and not all have the same volume level. The A320 family has quite a lot better EGPWS sound quality as i said, so i am using those instead.

- I wish the EFB could be hidden. Perhaps an MCDU option?

- I wish there was a way to stop the table animation when reaching TOD. Perhaps an MCDU option?

 

All in all a great product, so, congratulations.
