Ive got V5+ installed and running fluid. Few ? on my PCU install acceptance. Can Orbyx Vector and Global be used and like XP11 is there option for Rwys following terrain or level flat and where is that thing located in the Options panel?

CG-1976 The sloping runways feature is not an automatic function. The airport or runway has to have been constructed to allow for it and then it will appear sloping or undulating - there is no magic button fix! Otherwise the runway will be flat and if ground does undulate the runway will come and go along its length due to the bumps!. However the slope factor is accurate for example if you landed on a suitable hillside up hill, the aircraft will roll back down the hill on you and if it is steep enough the handbrake will not hold it! There are quite a few sloping or undulating runways in P3D it is addon scenery that was made pre V5 that will be an issue!

You must take a look at the videos (directory "doc\video") or read the doc (but in french - sorry) lol...First you must have a pilot and put the magnetos on ...CTRL+E is not enough !

Running ahead of dirty weather approaching Miami International.

One of the very few (dubious!) benefits of being stuck in another COVID lockdown is spending way too much time in the sim, constructively or not.

GastonJ - ah so right! All else fails read the manual. Too much excitement with all these new machines. Time to settle down and do some serious simming!

How true, is that cloud with the True Sky adjustments?

This is how LM use P3D 330 degree spherical full motion sims.

Using your settings Mike but I dialed in some extra heavy weather.

Late afternoon out of LFLL.

**BendyFlyer** · June 11th, 2021, 18:17

Very nice shot there Wombat. Think the little Airbus needs a good wash - LOL.

**CG_1976** · June 11th, 2021, 21:32

Starting to dial in the P3DV5.2.
Did this one with REX/HDR/Autofocus checked texture res 2048.
Still trying to figure out REX with Atmospheric ticked leading a CTD on V5.2. Also what the heck is the texture streaming option??

MJ's C47 in 5.2. This Jan Kees old FSX Qantas paint now using the base PBR textures from the P3D PBR model as part of its texture map. Pretty shiny!

This really illustrates how 5.2 + PBR and EA and master texture work can produce a very good polished aluminium finish - factory fresh. The dynamic reflections which are really the opposite scenery from the view is quite a change to fixed textures as well. In the right angle you get the sun glinting of the prop hubs in flight
