October 10, 201510 yr Punctuation is your friend, my friend. And so is Search. Really. Your answers have been answered lots of times already. You are asking a lot of different things too for one topic, I have to add, which usually isn't a good idea. Anyway, working addons: http://www.avsim.com/topic/475752-v3-developer-updated-software-thread/ For your system I'd use the default P3D settings, fly for a while and then slowly up the settings you personally like: no one else can tell you that without knowing what you like exactly. Concerning cfg settings: 95% of the P3D users will advice you to not fool around with the P3D.cfg. It's really not needed. And forget about nVidia settings with your card. Use defaults.
October 10, 201510 yr Author Sorry my friend do you think i should upgrade my card or wait for pascal cards thanks. Alexander Shepherd
October 10, 201510 yr To start with, the perfect settings differ per system. Your system isnt bad at all, although the GPU might be a bottleneck in your system, so that would be the part that will limit your performance. Id say, start low and slowly turn the sliders you want most, up and keep checking FPS and VAS and go as far as your system can handle. Like Jeroen already said, there's plenty of talk about settings and addons in this forum, as well as the P3D forum, just keep up with what others are writing and you should get plenty of information. To mention a couple of addons that are working right now: FTX Global 1.40 FTX OpenLC EU 1.20 FTX Central v2 UTX USA v2 UTX EUrope v2 UTX Canada v2 PMDG 737 PMDG 777 FSUIPC REX TD ASN latest beta PrecipitFX EMT beta A2A P3D addons (and I hear from several FSX installers they do work in P3Dv3) Carenado with P3D installers seem to work Majestic Dash8 current version does run, bug tends to show some minor bugs. So from the top of my head, this would be about it... Cheers! Maarten
October 10, 201510 yr Author Do you think upgrading to a gtx 870 is worth it. 970 sorry Alexander Shepherd
October 10, 201510 yr Do you think upgrading to a gtx 870 is worth it. 970 sorry Get a 980ti and then down the road you can add another one unless you have the money for 2 Titan X's - either way I wouldnt buy anything less than a 980ti or you are wasting your money imo Rich Sennett
October 10, 201510 yr Author I want to upgrade to a 6700k is that worth it aswell thanks. Alexander Shepherd
October 10, 201510 yr Now now Richard, no need to make me feel bad lol. I have a GTX970 and it is wonderful. I am getting 25 FPS in NYC with the NGX with Drzweicki NYC X and its not even the P3D optimized version. But I do agree if you can spend a little more why not get the 980? Really its just practical to get something that would make a longer run.

Hi Alcides - heres one for yah - I was asked to do the NYC test and I am getting 45 to 50 fps with almost no autogen pop and smooth panning spot view - in V3 with one Titan X - got to luv V3 Why invest money into a card thats just not enough when you can spend a bit more and have something that works well Rich Sennett
October 10, 201510 yr Ah yes that is good. I agree thats what I said in the last part. But still the 970 is a good card. Anything less than the 970 is truly wasting money Hi Alcides - heres one for yah - I was asked to do the NYC test and I am getting 45 to 50 fps with almost no autogen pop and smooth panning spot view - in V3 with one Titan X - got to luv V3 Why invest money into a card thats just not enough when you can spend a bit more and have something that works well Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight
