August 24, 201411 yr Thinking of moving to P3D - this might help your decision - Stunning This was just the factory building storms theme in P3D - not bad - clouds by REX4 Sorry for the quality the original is much better Rich Sennett
August 24, 201411 yr Hi do the Rex 4 clouds impact performance over the stock clouds, I am very impressed with P3D also Waynew Wayne such Asus Hero Z690, Gigabyte Aorus Master 5080, I914900K, Kraken 360 AIO CPU Cooled, 96 GIGS Corsair DDR5, 32 Inch 4K by 3
August 24, 201411 yr Author Hi do the Rex 4 clouds impact performance over the stock clouds, I am very impressed with P3D also Waynew No but I use 512 res textures imagine if I used the large ones - hmm I should try that next time Hmm looks blurry compared to my original - hate that Rich Sennett
August 24, 201411 yr The larger ones add a little to the visual up close, but 512 often suffices. That being said, I don't recall the larger ones affecting FPS too much. Haven't tried since 2.3. Richard, do you use 32bit or DT5? I haven't tried since 2.3, but DT5 was not as good performance wise as 32bit. If you haven't tried 32bit give it a shot. I also am curious as to what HDR textures do. It's hard to see the difference without a comparison screenshot.

August 24, 201411 yr No but I use 512 res textures imagine if I used the large ones - hmm I should try that next time Hmm looks blurry compared to my original - hate that Clouds are often blurry in real life, so this looks good to me But do the ground shadows cause any fps hit? With every version of P3D it gets harder and harder to resist.
August 24, 201411 yr They do cause a hit, but not nearly as much with 2.3. 2.2 had issues. Just don't set all the building and all the veg to cast shadows. That will kill FPS (unless you have a ballsy system) Nathan Allen Pinard Virtual Pilot in Training Composer/Sound Designer www.nathanallenpinard.com
August 24, 201411 yr Richard, that screen shot really sucks buddy....I don't know how you can fly that sim with it looking like that Mark CYYZ
August 24, 201411 yr Author Amazing comments Guys - thank you The larger ones add a little to the visual up close, but 512 often suffices. That being said, I don't recall the larger ones affecting FPS too much. Haven't tried since 2.3. Richard, do you use 32bit or DT5? I haven't tried since 2.3, but DT5 was not as good performance wise as 32bit. If you haven't tried 32bit give it a shot. I also am curious as to what HDR textures do. It's hard to see the difference without a comparison screenshot. I use 32bit - clouds P3D textures enabled I am not seeing much of a hit with clouds and cloud shadows on -- super - has to be the Titan card doing its thing - I had only vehicle - interior and clouds cast shadows - water reflections - should try to add more features I cant fly without HDR enabled brings the sim to life - like drab to glorious its amazing Take care all Rich Sennett
