First thoughts on sim update 5

Great update. I installed the update again without any problems (I don’t use mods). The rest of the updates in the Content Manager were the same. In the game I then noticed that the fuel tap of the C152 could not be opened. But after I loaded the default mouse settings, it worked again.

With the same settings, trees are now drawn further. CPU load is now 6% lower and GPU load 5% lower. RAM is now only 8GB instead of 16GB before. As I said, with the same settings as under SU4. It seems that now only graphics that are actually visible are rendered. Graphics behind me (like trees etc.) are then faded in with some delay in the exterior view. In the outdoor view I had 100% GPU load with SU4, with SU5 only 75%. If it saves resources, I can live with it.

After flying for an hour now, I have to say that everything works as usual for me. I am satisfied. Tomorrow I will increase my graphics settings. Now I’m going to bed. Thanks Asobo!
