Lockheed Martin has just released a brand new incremental update for Prepar3D v5. The new update, Prepar3D v5.4.9.28482 comes with a range of performance, stability, and usability improvements.

The simulator’s performance improvements come from better use of background threading. There has also been three additional backend flight plan GPS systems that allow for staging, secondary and offset flight plan systems. For those using VR, there have been plenty of VR fixes and improvements make VR setup and calibration easier and more user friendly.

The full changelog is down below that gives you a good idea of the other various fixes and changes that come with Prepar3D v5.4.

The vast majority of the changes are in Prepar3D’s Client Installer meaning that you will only need to update that one module. However, there has been some changes to the Content and Scenery components that can be optionally installed.

Each fix listed below is categorized per installer. Please note, you must first have Prepar3D v5 installed to utilize any of the standalone installers (Client, Content, and Scenery). The Prepar3D v5.4 update may require you to reactivate your product, however if you have an internet connection or have not made any major hardware changes between installations this should not be an issue.

This isn’t quite the Prepar3D v6 that many had been hoping for, but it’s good to see that Lockheed Martin are still issuing updates for the simulator. It’s worth noting that Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D team will be making an appearance at FlightSimExpo in Houston this coming June, and attendees will be able to ask questions about the platform.

Good flys
