FSX or Xplane? Please help!

[atlflyer 138]

So I bought the dev version of p3d 2 and I still had orbx NA CALIF and I bought the b1900 from Carenado. Installed everything up medium settings as far as p3d goes…normal autogen, normal trees, no traffic, tessellation at medium, etc…very middle of the road. Went to KRNT on the runway. 15 FPS. With my rig,  I was expecting a LOT more out of it than that. Does the cfg file require the same fsx tweaks?? I mean with my hardware, I run x-plane almost maxed out with the FF 757, a320 neo, etc….and keep at almost a constant 30 fps. What am I missing? Why such a low FPS??

The problem may lie in your hardware.  What are your pc specs?

[atlflyer 138]

my PC specs are:

 

core i7 3930K at 4.0

GTX Titan Superclocked

16 gb vram

asus x79 sabertooth

 

not sure its hardware related.

Yeah, I seriously doubt its hardware related. Nice system btw.

You have the highmemfix=1 entry?

 

Also Orbx can be quite demanding I was only getting 13 at their payware KBVS in the Carenado Phenom (also demanding) with clouds... High settings though.

 

Anyway I run both XP10 x64 and FSX. Highly recommend both.

I'm using both. If you like an immersive environment then yes, FSX will be best for you, what with the busy AI traffic and realistic ATC system. X-plane falls way behind in these areas and requires you to download scenery for any airports.

 

I use X-Plane to design aircraft and fly them, because it is far better and more realistic for that than FSX; its flight modelling system allows you to "predict" characteristics of a fictional aircraft. 

 

No idea about this P3D simulator.

ok, whats the "You have the highmemfix=1 entry?" and would FSX perform better on my machine than P3D??
