For me despite my i7 2700K, GTX 580 and 8GB Ram, as soon as I install an add on such as the PMDG 737NGX, I get CTD due to low memory..... If i'll have to use P3D 1.3 with textures at 1024MB and LOD at 4.5, then better stay with FSX. I'll uninstall P3D tonight and wait for 2.0.....

Greg,

 

"as soon as I install an add on such as the PMDG 737NGX, I get CTD due to low memory"

 

But P3D and FSX are 32 bit programs?

Neither will use up your memory.

Did you "install" the products or transfer files from the FSX setup to P3D?

Win7 32 or 64 bit?

Is your system "overclocked"?

Hi Kevin

 

Thanks for the response. A bit of mystery here. Prior to the 1.3 upgrade, I backed up all applicable 1.2 PMDG files including the dll.XML file.

Not sure what I did wrong last night ( perhaps one brew too many), but today I used those same files for a reinstall without error.

 

Incidently, my FSX dll.XML file only shows the HUD entry and that is the only mod I made to the P3D XML file. Works fine.

Where did your entries for options, events and sounds originate?

Sorry for the late response. I got these details from PMDG customer support. It's actually on their website.

Hi I've done the same copied the entries from my FSX dll.XML file and I have only the HUD one... Everything works except the HUD, Im wondering if I should copy all the entries posted above to make it work?

 

Also do you guys getting the callout During take off or landing? Because I'm not!

 

One last question i read that FS2crew NGX Sp1 is compatible with p3d no Idea if by simply copy and paste the folders make it work, so far it did not.

 

Overall I found P3D more smooth with same FPS, Rex seems to work perfect with it.

Why not post your current file contents for us to look at?

Hello,

 

I think I’ve got a problem with the NGX when using it with P3D. I’ve copied all the folders to the P3D directory correctly, and I’ve modified the XML-file, too. Now in P3D everything works fine except the following problem.

There seems to be a problem with climb power. On the first NGX flight there appeared a problem with climbing at an altitude of about 15000ft. At the end the NGX climbed to the TOC very slowly.

 

Then I made the second flight. The NGX stoped climbing again at 18000ft. I’ve got a climb rate of about 1000ft. Then I’ve made the same flight with identical parameters in FSX and everything was fine.

 

Today I‘ve made my third flight in P3D. At about 20000ft the NGX stoped climbing and changed to a climb rate of 0-1200 ft. It varies between 0 and 1200 ft. This evening I want to check this flight again in FSX. But I'm afraid it will work correctly.

 

I'm using FS2Crew.

 

If there really is a problem with the NGX in P3D that would be very too bad, because PMDG doesn’t support this platform.

 

Have you got this problem, too?

 

Patric

Patric,

 

Have you tested the exact same flight (weights/FMC setup/route/altitude etc) using FSX?

If so, what performance did you observe?

Hello Vaughan,

 

I've used the same flight in FSX (FMC data, payload, fuel, date and time, weather, SID, FS2Crew-procedure, etc.).

 

As I wrote, in P3D at altitudes between 10000 and 20000ft the NGX seems to get a problem with climbing. On the short flight I've made today, at 20000ft the climb rate has changed from 2500ft/min to a variable value of 0-1200ft/min. The speed was about 325ktas at these moments. N1 was about 96%. I've set the cruising altitude to FL320. For payload and fuel I've chosen in the FMC about 45pax and 1/3 fuel.

 

On the flight I've made yesterday, this problem occured at an altitude of about 15000ft.

 

Patric

Patric,

 

What were the values on the FSX flight?

OK, I've just made the same flight in FSX. I did everything as I did in P3D. In FSX the climb was perfect.

Perhaps it's a VNAV problem in P3D, because the speed was OK.

 

Here are the values from my FSX climb:

 

altitude VS

10000ft 3800ft/min

12000ft 2000ft(min

14000ft 3800ft/min

16000ft 2300ft/min

18000ft 2600ft/min

20000ft 2200ft/min

22000ft 1600ft/min

25000ft 1600ft/min

 

N1 at 20000ft: 96%, speed at 20000ft: 330ktas

 

Patric

Patric,

 

My quick test looked ok in P3D.

 

Maybe you could shoot a few screenshots of your panel / gauges for us to look at?

Hello Vaughan,

 

Now I've checked the same flight in P3D again - same problem. At altitudes above 20000ft I've got climb rates of about 500ft/min. In the FMC there was to be seen that I will reach the TOC in 130nm.

 

Then I did the following:

I've opened the FSUIPC panel and pressed the button "Clear all weather", and now the NGC showed "overspeed" (360ktas). At normal cruise speed the TOC showed a distance of about 30nm - that's OK. And now I had vertical speed rates of 1500-1700ft/min.

 

I've made this flight in P3D again. At 6000ft AGL I've checked the distance to TOC in the FMC - 130nm. That's too much. At 16000ft I've opened the FSUIPC panel again and pushed the button "Clear all weather". The same effect as last flight occured - I've got higher vertical speed rates.

 

Perhaps it is a weather problem. I'm using AS2012 and the newest FSUIPC version.

 

What kind of weather engine are you using?

 

Patric

Patric,

 

I use AS2012 ...

 

Before departure what altitude are you dialing for your climb test?

I had set 37000 (as a test) and let VNAV take me up there.

 

If you do a screenshot of your panel / gauges maybe someone could see what you are doing.

 

I know nothing about your filght setup .. weights, enroute Wx/winds route etc.

Kinda hard figuring out without specific information and a few pictures.

 

Have you seen other pilots reporting this problem?

Hello Vaughan,

 

Same flight again - but without AS2012. I've used the internal P3D "Fair Weather" theme - everything worked fine now.

 

More infos perhaps tomorrow.

 

Patric

It's possible the OAT was unreasonably high - I don't even know if this is possible but were you running FSINN with P3D?
