Darn!

According the official Discord discussion, the ultra was only available during the event from July 21-25th.

I wonder how different the versions appear in game.
Out of luck I guess.

Sigh...

No sir, as you were able to DL the basic- and medium version you are certainly NOT out of luck. This is the result of *my* trials to even get a password to enter the site and finally figure out where to get that magnificent scenery :

What it looks like to me is that i can forget about it once and for all. A formidable matter of tantalization as ever there was... :disturbed:

Well, the bridge disappeared from the NAS Pensacola (KNPA) scenery. This is default. Previous release looked better than this!! And this is with level of detail at 130!

Did you also download the updated versions of the World Updates from your content manager ? (or from the marketplace, I don't remember....).
Maybe that's the reason you're not seeing that bridge anymore ?

I've been really enjoying Sim Update 5. I think this is my new favorite aircraft, for the time being. I really like all of the effort they went to, adding all of the external and internal details of the float version. You can really notice the tremendous amount of drag from the floats as well. The Wipline floats are manufactured just a few miles from where I live, and are tested on the Mississippi River even closer to where I live. These are some shots from landing on the St. Croix River, near Hudson, WI, and south of Stillwater, MN.

The only thing I haven't liked about Sim Update 5, is that it causes the toolbar tab (triangle/handlebars) at the top of the screen to remain showing, and won't simply go away when not moving the mouse as before. I was pointed to this mod, which completely removes the toolbar tab, and it works perfectly: https://flightsim.to/file/9900/no-handle-bar

Hi, everyone!

So, folks after 11 years where I am here in this forum. Now I have my premiere with my very first posting here in the SOH, with the DC6 HB-IBS on the flight to Rome. I hope you like the pictures.

Have a nice evening, greetings, Chris. (Pirosch)

How can this be?

Some more SU 5 screenshots - really enjoying the boost in performance! I was flying around NYC last night, and it was butter smooth and my graphics card never screamed at me.









 
It's amazing being able to fly the PMDG DC-6 (the most performance-demanding aircraft to-date), over one of the most performance-demanding areas in the sim (New York City), and not see any stuttering, nothing but steady high frame rates, and my graphics card staying cool.
