NEED version Advice Please

Post by Hawaiianstyle78 »

in need of some good advice please. I had a hard PC crash couple months ago had to wipe and reinstall windows 10. I have a new fresh up to date Windows 10/RTX 2080ti updated etc etc . I got new formatted SSD drive x 3 all consisting of 2TB and my windows 10 is installed onto my nVME.ssd drive.

I purchased msfs2020 month ago and dont like it. i am an owner of P3Dv4. here is my main question. Should i purchase P3dv5 or reinstall p3dv?. Is p3dv5 miles above p3dv4 in FPS, terrain detail, shaders, less ctd etc etc? how is the VRAM issue? all my addons are compatible except i need to upgrade my PMDG 737NGX to PMDG 737NGXU as well as upgrade my Activesky. I have pawyare scenery and other aircraft addons like PMDG 777/747 TFDI717 AerosoftA320/A321 . I also us FSreborn lights, EZDok camera & REX skyforce just for textures.

Should i make the jump to P3dv5 or stay on P3dv4? Is there a significant perfromance increase P3dv5?

thank U!

@ Hawaiianstyle78 ,

You mentioned:
"I purchased msfs2020 month ago and dont like it. "
Did you get a refund ?

With P3Dv5 you can try it on your setup for 14 days.
Refund policy is here:

Have you checked with all your Add-on developers for their opinion(s)?

It can be a little fussy but with a few add-ons (Orbx?) P3Dv5 can be a pretty dynamic simulation, with lots of opportunity to grow.. In my opinion it is worth the upgrade.
Good luck
