I don't "do" FSDT or Flightbeam, as I don't "do" Virtuali Addon Manager / Couatl.

 

Which, incidentally, are one of the REASONS why fps are so good. In a thread dedicated to "best fps airports", it seemed appropriate to remind about it. Let's see some screenshots, just taken, obviously under the same exact settings, just before/after installing FSDT KLAX.

My video card is a not-so-new nVidia GTX 670, and my system is not the best for sheer performances, because it's a Xeon 2.66 Ghz (MacPro 2009 model), users with better video cards and faster i7 will do much better, but the point that FSDT KLAX runs FASTER THAN DEFAULT.

 

P.S.

I add that, thanks to the performance advantage we get by using the Virtuali Addon Manager / Couatl, ALL 125 JETWAYS at KLAX are WORKING...

 

P.P.S.S.

I see that Flightbeam is getting very good marks on this thread. Incidentally, they ALSO "do" the Addon Manager / Couatl...

ORBX YBCS Cairns is amazing and P3D native

ORBX AYPY Jackson's is also excellent and P3D native.

 

I have all the FlyTampa and FSDT but haven't flown to from them in P3D yet.

 

How is everyone's performance with Flightbeam San Fran?

 

 

Orbx, FSDT, Flightbeam, Fly Tampa.. All have excellent intl airports... The question is really about where would you like to fly...

Depends if you want to fly tubeliners or GA really. Off the top of my head for GA I would recommend ORBX, Vidan Design, and Sim 720. I'm sure there are more I just cant think of them right now!

Thanks guys!   A real mix there with some obvious overall favourities which is exactly what I thought they would be.

 

I had every airport under the sun with fsx for many years.  But Ive just done a massive hardware upgrade to my PC including a 40' 4k monitor, a 970 strix card and a pfc beech yoke.  My flightsim budget is well and truly shot for now, but I've made up my mind on the airports.

 

Flytampa Dubai

Flytampa Toronto

Flytampa Copenhagen

FSDT Las Vegas

FSDT JFK

Flytampa Vienna 

 

I'm still running a stable P3D 2.4. and have decided to stick with it forseeably.  I don't see any overwhelming reason to change to 2.5

 

Thanks all
