October 30, 201510 yr Hi Guys, I am struggling to get my install of P3D V3 to run smoothly. Would you guys be able to give me some settings to try out? SPECS: CPU: Intel 4790K GPU: GTX 970 RAM: 1866mHz GB Thanks in advance
October 30, 201510 yr Need more info. Do you have any add ons? What are your current settings? Your specs should run P3DV3 smooth. Give just a little more info so someone with better knowledge than I have can help you. Regards Lamar Wright
October 30, 201510 yr Your hardware is more than capable of running P3D 3.0. I have a 3930k and GTX 980 and can run this beast with pretty high settings and have a comfortable ride for hours. Have you tampered with the Prepar3D.cfg file yet? What is the clock speed of your CPU? Are you using SSD or HDD drives for your simulator? What's your OS? More info needed.

October 30, 201510 yr Hi LachieS, I have pretty much the same system as you I7 4790K - OC to 4.7 GHz with HT off 970 GTX (stock and no NI changes) 16 GB Ram at 1600 Here are my add-ons that I use ASN (over network) MyTraffic 6 Traffic Optimizer (set to 50 planes) REX 4 w/soft clouds ORBX PNW A2A Commanche and 172 In sim settings: Settings Graphics: FXAA- on MSAA - 4 samples Anistropic - 16x Texture - 2048x2048 Vsync - off Target Frame Rate - 33 Scenery LOD - Max Tessellation - High Mesh - 5m Texture - 15cm Water - High Reflections - All except Clouds (don't like the look) Scenery Complexity - Extremely Dense Autogen Vegetation - Very Dense Autogen Building - Very Dense Special Effects - Medium/Medium Lighting HDR, landing lights and Lens flare all checked Shadows Quality - Medium Terrain Shadow - 30,000m Cloud Shadow - 30,000m Object Shadow - 6000m All object shadows checked Weather Cloud Draw - 90mi Density - Max Volumetric fog checked Detailed clouds Traffic Airline - 20 GA - 40 Airport Vehicle - None Road - 0 Ships - 30 Liesure boats - 30 With these settings I get fluid and detailed textures at the 33fps everywhere except Seattle where I get low to mid 20's near the heavy areas and backup to locked rate when I get a little distance. Hope this helps you in your tweaking etc
October 30, 201510 yr TWEAKING!!!!! P3D v3 needs NO tweaking!!!!! Why do you need to tweak with the fps you have? Jack the Swede in Spain Jack J Jackson Castalla, Alicante, Spain
October 30, 201510 yr Jack, I think you misread the post, the OP was having difficulty getting his to run smoothly so I just responded with what my settings were since I had nearly an identical system. I did this to help him getting a starting point. Kind Regards, Brett

October 31, 201510 yr that ram looks slow for 4.7ghz, hope you oc'd that ram higher than 1600. I am running at 4790K 4.84Ghz water cooled and ram is about 2800 to 3000. Any slower ram and I soon get blue screen. Also check your textures to ensure back to 1024K all around then walk your way up, textures often missed when dealing with low fps. Process Laso is must have for too many reasons, turn off core parking, move some stuff of p3d cores, set p3d priority, io priority and memory priority higher than default. Your hardware seems ok, maybe tool like laso can you unlock the power. Get laso gat faster ram, get fps and fly smooth.
