P3Dv6

[Splitpin]

I need some advise from the hive mind.
I've been moving all my sim stuff to the other computer except for P3D. I was running v4.5, but just noticed that V6 is here.
Question one, is anybody here running it ? and if so, what is your opinion.
Question two, do you think V4.5 stuff will work? I miss all my Daks and Robs scenery....if not, I may just go for V5 in the interim.

Thanks in advance.

V6 is certainly the best so far, and the only one I own -- I've always used developer subscriptions, but I did buy v6. V6 is the first version with a 'personal' license, as opposed to academic, which is a small thing but one I appreciate.

However it does look like a lot of people are still waiting on addons to become native to v6, and so many developers have left P3D that they may never come. I can certainly say that for those Godzone folks.

I don't use P3D at all much, I don't think I've ever done a proper flight, but this is more comparing it to MSFS than other P3D versions. I recall the last flight I did in P3D I needed to fix my desktop resolution (normally 4K) which P3D switched to match its own, and I don't ever recall MSFS doing something this annoying.

So if you are wavering between v5 and v6, v5 may suit you better for a year or two, while developers sort themselves out.

Thank you Rob....a voice in the desert, will go with 5 and test the water.

I'm still running v5.3 Marty, it's been solid as for me now for ages. Haven't moved to V6 as a lot of addons not yet fully compatible so I'm gonna thrash v5 until I eventually do the flip to MSFS (waiting on a few aircraft there)

I have been running V5.3. Most of the time (what little I have) I'm on MSFS. I'm enjoying the eye candy, many of the add ons, and generally just getting to grips with it.
I'm mostly using the heavy tin in P3D.

Thanks for the reply deeknow and CP ...v5 it will be.
