Hi Ed

I have been loading you New England scenery into v4. Now I'm told not to do that, it could screw up v4! I should not do that until the scenery has been recompiled! What's your advice?

I'm not Ed, but, in theory it may prove helpful for "some" add-on scenery packages to be (re-)compiled with the P3D SDK specific to the version of Prepar3d in which a add-on scenery is intended to be used.


However, on a practical basis, unless certain 'special' scenery content (such as "Dynamic Lighting" etc.) that is specifically available / displayable only in a particular P3D version is actually implemented by the developer within that add-on scenery package, IMHO, there is NOT likely to be a significantly perceptible performance hit by using a add-on scenery package compiled for FSX ...with P3D v3 or P3Dv4 on a computer powerful enough to run either of those Prepar3d versions.



I'd suggest still trying any of Ed's FSX SDK-compiled scenery packages in P3Dv4 anyway... it won't break anything.



FYI: A pertinent discussion thread on this topic at FSDeveloper:

Hi GaryGB....thanks for the reply. I have been installing Ed's scenery for the last couple of day's without a hitch, no problems whatever. I also installed Flight Replica Super Cub Ultra also without a hitch. Every seems to be just fine.
