Should I update to 5 Yet?

[z0m8i3]

I was just wondering if its worth updating to Phoenix 5 yet?, I've noticed theres not many people online anymore, is this because everyone is on 5 now?

It's full of glitches at the mo, everyday you get a new update, think it's on V5.1000,000 lol and it's not as good as V4, that's if you can get on the server to download.

I was having problems but uploaded the latest fix last knight and its now very flyable just need to tweek the models a bit.

Much better than V4 in my opinion, I have updated both my machines to it. When going between the machines with one on V4 it was clear to me that V5 was much nicer and more real. I would say update definatly.

did mine last night, seeing some glitches but generally okay imo

Same here. Went straight to 5j about a week ago and think it is actually better than 4 now

I suggest you defo update to 5. It is far better than 4. Not really sure why anyone thinks otherwise other than the technical troubles updating…. which i have had none by the way.

It IS a vast improvement on v4. Very very good.

You can tell those people that have actually installed and actually used the latest version by their comments :-)
LOL

and it's not as good as V4,.

That is simply not true. Not even subjectively. It IS better. Too much jumping on the bandwagon going on in terms of looking for issues that are not there. It works GREAT

The latest versions are much better worth updating now imo

My feeling exactly, There were a couple of nights where it wasnt good but they got the majority of it sorted pretty quickly and now there is no doubt that it is better.

The physics feel very similar to RF7 now (which I bought recently). Graphics are improved as well.

Definitely update!
I've been updating mine from the first 5.0.a release and have found it entertaining following the developers rush to sort it out but then again my preferred sim was RF so fortunately I wasn't reliant on Phoenix.
The current version is much better than 4 ever was and tweaking the model settings to your liking is much easier and it's well worth spending a little time playing with these. Don't worry that you will mess up the existing model settings as Phoenix automatically makes a copy of the model as soon as you change anything and the original remains unchanged.
One thing I would suggest you do is a complete fresh Tx setup. I found that there were a few strange things happening with some of the earlier versions but this appeared to correct most of them.

V5 is well worth the update IMO.
