February 20, 201511 yr Hehe, still using 2.2 and it's fabulous w/ the PMDG T7.

February 20, 201511 yr PMDG 777. Yee of little faith. ^_^ I get black ground textures in FSDT CYVR with 2.5 Nothing wrong with your equipment. Have you tried reducing your settings/sliders just a little? After all Vancouver/Seattle, Toronto, New York, Sydney are all well known killers of frames and graphics.
February 20, 201511 yr Author Eh.......?? All the reports I see are people using ORBX Global, but mainly Vector. It seems to be a well known VAS murderer.
February 20, 201511 yr All the reports I see are people using ORBX Global, but mainly Vector. It seems to be a well known VAS murderer. Yes, but I thought ORBX have not yet released any patches for their stuff, such as Global and Vector, so wouldn't that be a contributing factor? Jim, have you tried re-downloading the FSDT CVYR and then re-installing for P3D? I had to do that for all my FSDT airports. Rick Almeida
February 20, 201511 yr One thing that struck me in doing a clean install of P3d 2.5. With the default settings at 1440p, with all of the default aircraft, I managed 70 to 90 fps, similar to my recent clean install of FSX-SE. Even using Rob's recommended settings in P3d 2.5 , I was still getting between 40 and 60 fps. But adding in a complex aircraft, the TrackIR, ORBX suite, ASN, REX Clouds, GSX, My Traffic and a few other addons, that brings me down into the 20 to 30 fps range. But that's my choice. It's still smooth at those frame rates, so I'm satisfied with that. If I want better results, I can always buy new hardware, which is really the only valid solution to performance issues. "I can always buy new hardware" Can you give me some examples?....I really considering a 6 core CPU ( I have I7 4790) etc etc...but not too sure..... Pedro Pedro Rodriguez
February 20, 201511 yr All the reports I see are people using ORBX Global, but mainly Vector. It seems to be a well known VAS murderer. Yes, using Vector in conjunction with the 777 may cause problems if sliders are not properly adjusted. I have been doing some testing with, the 777, FTX Global, Vector and ASN now that they can be installed in v2.5. My test flight has been KMIA to KLAX. Some useful pointers for 777 users with these products: -Create a Vector profile for the 777 and uncheck all of the roadway options. You shouldn't notice this much in the 777 (at least I don't). -Do not use enhanced overcast or force broken coverage in ASN. I also use max cloud draw distance of 75 miles and max visibility of 75 miles with 4 cloud layers. -Leave your P3D scenery sliders (the settings that affect VAS) at their default locations. Dial back your building autogen to zero or one tick from left. This leaves me with an average of 500 MB of free VAS upon landing at default KLAX from default KMIA. You'll probably have to dial back more if you're using payware airports in conjunction with the above products but this should give people a good starting point and an idea of my specific VAS usage with these products in v2.5. This also gives me a smooth 30 FPS in the virtual cockpit with 4x SGSSAA applied via NI. Of course for GA flying in an A2A 182 or RealAir product I max everything out with no VAS problems whatsoever, not even close. And it's very easy to change graphic profiles on the P3D start screen before a flight. Ryan
February 20, 201511 yr Yes, but I thought ORBX have not yet released any patches for their stuff, such as Global and Vector, so wouldn't that be a contributing factor? They released a new set of libraries earlier this week which remediate the issues with ObjectFlow as well as the FTX Central issues related to the changed directory paths. (*They also now support FSX:SE, for what its worth) -Greg
February 20, 201511 yr Peter, Upgrading from your i7 4790k/Nvidia GTX780/16GB RAM powered system would be pointless. You are not far off the top as it is!

February 20, 201511 yr Greg Thanks for that clarification. I do not have Global or Vector but I have a lot of their Australian, UK and PNW stuff. Can I now install these in P3D v2.5 without any conflicts? Rick Almeida
February 20, 201511 yr This is amazing. First flight, from FSDT YVR to FlyTampa YYZ in the PMDG 77W in P3D 2.5. It is absolutely perfect. FPS doesn't matter because it's smooth as glass, VAS is almost a non-issue when properly configured... but the visuals!! It is absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful. The shadows in the VC, the cloud and terrain shadows, the HDR lighting, this is the experience I've been waiting for all my life. Simply amazing. I never had such a smooth flight, the new ASN wind effects are so close to reality, I still can't believe it. I'm uninstalling FSX, no reason to ever go back to it. +1 Regards Lamar Wright
February 20, 201511 yr +1 +2... ;o) Oh, I forgot again: I'm using 2.2, and it's still excellent!
