As Gomer used to say - Thank You, Thank You!
P3D is a great "quarantine" medicine.

Yes I can! And, that worked to produce FPS counts as well as other info. Now I also remember the Z Key..
Maybe hypnosis would have restored the info but you are cheaper! Thanks!

I bought V5 on 8/10/2020 I looked for HotFix 2 in the downloads area, after entering my credentials. It is not there.

Although I can find no announcement, does this mean that HotFix-2 is already incorporated into the product I purchased?

With FPS number I can see the impact of various functions I may start or install.
I really do not care if the FPS display is FRAPS or something else. Would just like the FPS count.

I have used Fraps to show Frames Per Second(FPS) in several versions of Prepare3d. However, I can't get an FPS display in V5? Does anyone know of a way to make Fraps work? Or, is there an alternate way to get FPS in V5?

I get following error when starting P3D 4.4. If I just continue everything seems to operate properly. The PNW folder, the navaids folder and the SCENRY folder are where they should be. The scenery folder containstwo BGLs

PNW navaids.bgl
PNWnavaids_CVX.bgl

Dynamic 3D Autogen option(world graphics) is the problem. Unselect and weird bright autogen trees disappear.

The autogen trees are quite bright and do not match the trees in the area I fly - Mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Because the autogen trees look so odd I find it much more acceptable to simply turn them off. The photo shows their odd appearance on my system: P3d V4 Windows10 1709 nVidia...

I disabled all of my addons and ran P3D4.1 near Seattle, WA. The water color is much too blue. It looks appropriate for Miami but not Seattle. Turning down the HDR Saturation brings it much closer to reality but, of course, harms all of the other visuals. Is there some shader or other thing that can...

Probably something I should have done earlier - using Scenery Configurator I disabled certain scenery items until I located the culprit (hopefully). It turned out to be ORBXLIB. With everything enabled except the ORBXLIB various venues loaded and flew well. So this a fast CLOSE...

P3d V4 loads to the 100% point of Air Land and Sea Traffic and then crashes with no further information. I would appreciate some direction to begin trouble shooting since LM ain't gonna send a tech to my house.

Yes, a dumb question but----
My installed version is Prepar3D_v3_Academic_3.4.22.19868
Is this V4 since it begins with a three?

I did a REPAIR on the V3.4 files but did not help. Will erase V3.3 and hope!!

I created a new account. Started Client.msi and received the same message that I already had "the product" (I assume that is the previous version) installed. All anti-viruus systems were off and UAC at zero. I am now faced with deleting the previous version and being required to reinstall ...

I used the client MSI but immediately I received an error saying that a version of the product was already installed. Of course, it fails to divulge which version of which product. I looked at Lockhedd Martin in APPDATA but no recent activity or reference to V3.4.. Since I have never installed V3.4,...
