Transition to xplane 10

Recommended Posts

Wow that is really cool! Which brand does that?

 

I hear you....  the 780ti is a monster of a card... but I wondered why they dropped the vram to 3?  And the less powerful 770 comes in 2 and 4GB variants.  

 

I only mention this because I know now firsthand of what XP addons can do to vram lol.... the Carenado king air (excellent btw) made me turn down my main XP textures to accomate its own...

Not to hijack the thread but how does this thing do with video RAM?  I've only got a 1.2GB card and the carenado king air ate up quite a bit so I had to decrease texture quality a lot....  Also does it work online with client like Pilot Edge or XSB?

We've included 2 different texture sets.  Hi res for more powerful graphics cards and low res for those who are "VRAM challenged".

In terms of systems complexity if you are used to in depth FMS/FMC go for the JAR A320, Flight Factor 757 and Flight Factor 777.  I am an FSX convert and still swear by PMDG... I found these planes satisfy my FMC demands :)

so you enjoy simming the JAR A320 with your mouse ... though it doesn't model the FCU trk/fpa mode ??

 

ah well... each to their own !!


for now, cheers

Brendan,

 

My GTX 760 is a Gigabyte and the 6GB cards are EVGA (Titan models and expensive).

How is the JAR A320 compared with AXE in FSX? I'm an FSX user but have XP10 for flying helicopters. I'm thinking to test an airliner in XP

It's same level in systems that PMDG in FSX?

Been flying X-plane for about a month or so, and I will likely fly FSX for the PMDG aircraft, but the 757, 777 and 727 are very nice. What keeps me there is the performance and stability. I installed X-plane and started flying; that was it; no tweaks, no himmemfix no uiautomationcore.dll, no VC rain fix, no registry fix, no memory issues, no slide shows, no fighting with my scenery and I don't even feel like I need ORBX because the land class is very accurate and looks great. And the amount of high quality free airport scenery has been a nice surprise.

On the flip side I've had to tweak XP to get it right for me. It's the first game I've played where my powerful gtx 570 isn't cutting it.

 

I'd say I tweak FSX no more than XP. I've had a few CTD's with XP mostly plugin related.

 

But the 64bit is here to stay and no OOM's unless it was associated with SASL issues.

I also installed XP10. I'm an FSX user but use XP to fly helicopters. XP is very good, I like it, but it needs some serious developers to come.

 

I'm thinking about test an airliner in XP but I have money invested in FSX

For airliners I'm waiting for that IXEG B734 - looks much better than current offerings.  From the screenshots and videos I still say PMDG's offerings are much better than any XP aircraft.  This may change with the IXEG bird though - it looks a few notches above what PMDG offer for FSX.
