Can't decide if upgrading to Ver 5.2 would be worth it or not! What would I really be gaining with Ver 5? Just need some advice...Thanks...

Re: Ver 4.5 VS Ver 5.2?
Hi Steve,
My own experience is that v5 performs better than v4.5.
I can give a clear example: I use ORBX scenery (all openLCs, all regions, and some airports) and on my old desktop computer (CPU: i7-7700, GPU: MSI GTX 1050 ti OC, 16GB RAM) I couldn't fly some ORBX regions (like Germany) in v4.5, because the FPS got too low to my taste. When I installed v5.0 on the same PC, I clearly got higher FPS, and flying ORBX regions went better.
And of course v5 offers new rendering possibilities: volumetric clouds etc. If you like that, it's fun. But you'll need a good GPU for that (I now use a RTX 2070, works very well).

Mathieu
