October 17, 201510 yr Almost get half the fps than with default terrain. Maybe with 2.5 the difference was not so noticeable. Any tips to get better fps?
October 17, 201510 yr Lower your settings. Jack the Swede in Spain Jack J Jackson Castalla, Alicante, Spain
October 17, 201510 yr or don't use it LOL Orbx products are known to be taxing on system. I am still wondering what to do with my Orbx investment, the sceneries are beautiful but stutters and lower FPS are annoying.

October 17, 201510 yr I understand your issue. For my system the settings that have the most negative effect on FPS are cloud draw distance and vehicle traffic. Vehicle traffic has the most negative effect of the two. For example, when flying in/around Seattle with vehicle traffic at 10 to 15% my FPS is around 15. If I turn vehicle traffic off my FPS goes to 22 to 25. I suggest you might try turning vehicle traffic off. Regards, Danny Danny

Regards, Danny For my system 3570k/OC4.2 - gtx970/4G traffic (road, water, airport) is the main thing that really challenges my system. Likely because I think (and I could be wrong) that traffic is more CPU-dependent. REX AccuSeason Developer REX Simulations

October 17, 201510 yr Make sure you have North America selected in Ftx Central. I have done that numerous times Kevin Humphryes
October 17, 201510 yr I'm getting good performance in PNW with V3 (albeit on a fairly decent rig) - certainly better than 2.5. In fact I was getting ~170fps at CYLW (which is something of a personal record...!). As other's have noted before, ORBX building autogen and traffic are heavy on the system - I have mine set to dense for building AG and traffic at no more than 10%. The other thing to note is that the first flight after the install of an ORBX region will sometimes have lower fps as the terrain objects, libraries and effects are cached. Do a few circuits and exit, and hopefully you'll notice an improvement next time around.
October 17, 201510 yr For the most part my FPS are lower using PNW as expected but still smooth and steady. Something about the immediate Seatlle area, though, just murders performance where similarly dense areas don't give quite the hit. Chris

Jim I have P3DV2 installed on another drive so i just copied the folder and the effects from it to V3.Works great. Same procedure with every taxi2gates scenerys. No problem so far.
