This post is really in response to Adam's comments on the limitations of Prepar3d v5. All his points are valid, and it certainly shows up how much we rely on addons like PTA to perk up our sims. But there are a few positives with v5, for me it does allow a more natural appearance, especially with photoscenery. These shots all suffer from one or more of the limitations listed by Adam, but if you accept it as a cloudy day, and ignore the fact that the ground is unlit by any sun at all, this flight was one of the more 'natural' realistic flights I've had for a long time in Prepar3d.
The clouds here need a lot more punch, that's for sure, compared to the same scenery in v4, which has AS and ASCA installed, but I am hoping that Hifi do their magic here as well.
I'm not sure why I'm flying this aircraft, I think it's a default P3D.
However....
I've said before, this is too little, too late, and the more I see of Microsoft Flight Simulator the more I believe that MS will reclaim the throne and things will go back to the old days of one clear winner, and a few others grabbing a small part of the market where they can.
