He's not a beta tester but if he was, he wouldn't be able to say anything as testers are under NDA

Re: V6?

Yes, V6 is around the corner but the P3D market is basically dead so you have to look at what add-ons you have and if you think any of those devs are actually going to make them compatible with V6. Then ask yourself if you really need the $200 version. Most people just use the Academic version. Mayb...

Re: Why is the 'missing haze' bug in v5.3 still not fixed for non-EA?

Because any fixes after the last hotfix should be in v6 (currently in beta). Do you know for a fact, not rumor or disinformation that V6 is really in Beta? And if you know that for a fact how can you post here without violating the NDA???? Sherm There was a login page set up for V6 closed beta test...

Re: What edition do I buy?

Not much of a point in buying P3D at this stage if you have MSFS already and are just a regular home user.

Nevermind, I finally found the solution in the forum. Not running MSI Afterburner resolved this.

Re: Stuttering + Freezing Still Occurring

I will say that I encounter more instances of severe FPS drops and stutters if I'm close to the VRAM limit (in my case, ~7.1) on the ground at big airports with PBR (e.g. LatinVFR, FlyTampa), PBR airplanes (e.g. NGXu/FSL), and GSX. It's not the same as the in-flight stuttering issue which can occur ...

Re: VRR/Gsync turns off when the cursor is visible on screen

Sorry that you're experience this issue. If VRR is being forced off, it is the OS forcing it off. It may depend on OS version, graphics devisers, etc. Windows full screen issues in D3D11/12 are difficult to nail down because the OS sets the mode for you based on it's determination of whether or not...

VRR/Gsync turns off when the cursor is visible on screen

I'm disappointed that this old bug is still present in 5.3. Whenever the cursor is present on screen, gsync/VRR stops working.

Re: P3D should stop randomly deactivating add-on scenery.

Why does de-activating an add-on cause a cascade of issues?

1. Open the add-on menu in P3D
2. De-activate a scenery add-on
3. Restart P3D
4. Now 5 other random add-ons have deactivated themselves.

The only way to fix it is to go into the add-on.cfg and manually edit the file.

Re: KMCO not loading in P3Dv5.3

Had a look at the scenery files and the default object file OBX26210.bgl is about 10 times larger than the next largest scenery object file. This is the object file for KMCO and other airports in the Florida area. Also when I try to load an airport in ADE (Airport Design Editor) from the default AP...

Flickering when mouse cursor visible with VRR and G-Sync on

When the mouse cursor is visible in V5.2HF1 and VRR is ticked in display settings and G-Sync is enabled (fullscreen and windowed), there's a slight flickering effect across the whole screen. It disappears once the mouse cursor autohides itself. I'm pretty sure G-Sync or VRR is disabled whenever the ...
