March 8, 201610 yr This was with Carenado best for testing - if you never leave the VC then yes you can do without NI its looks great inside but I spend a lot of time outside The wind noise is awful when flying outside and it messes up your hair!!

March 8, 201610 yr A bunch of us on the "official" forum are still waiting for LM to sort out our Error 9022 licensing issues after upgrading. I emailed them 24hrs ago and still no response.

March 8, 201610 yr I've been following this thread and I still don't see what the complaints are. I see a lot of questions and answers, so what's wrong with that? -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit

March 8, 201610 yr No more SGSS in NI and "light" settings in P3D :-) http://imageshack.com/a/img924/7875/5IdFzq.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img924/8820/Ms92X3.png http://imageshack.com/a/img921/5572/Zr7J5a.png Hmmm...I'd rather stay with 4xSGSAA and NI....and BTW, FXAA should be OFF.

March 8, 201610 yr It's very difficult to see AA and AF improvements with static screenshots (unless your current settings are truly awful). It can only really be determined by trying it out in the simulator for yourself.

I'm not going to put new updates until weekend, so I would appreciate various opinions regarding AA improvements and possibility to dump NI forever. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
March 8, 201610 yr Moderator Hmmm...I'd rather stay with 4xSGSAA and NI....and BTW, FXAA should be OFF. ALWAYS! Umm - says who? It's an option - if you like it use it, if not - pass. But there is NO reason for it to be OFF ALWAYS unless it's a personal choice. FWIW, I don't like it myself, I find the gauges not as sharp for my old eyes but the screenies look beautiful. As with any other setting in P3D - it is optional, depending on YOUR personal preferences. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

See here, they seem to have found an issue with subscription license activation and are asking users to activate by e-mail until it is resolved. Tym
March 8, 201610 yr Yeah, i just got a reply from them: Hello Nuno,We have identified a bug with update v3.2 which stops subscription licenses from activating online, and are currently working on a solution. We will announce on our forums when we have a solution. In the meantime, you can activate your license via email by clicking the "contact licensing" link on the activation menu, and sending us your two user codes.

March 8, 201610 yr Moderator Every update (including FSX) we go through the same dance. Some like it, some don't LOT'S of questions that cannot really be answered. As Rob suggested - TRY IT on your system - THAT'S the only system that matters. I run perfectly smooth at 20fps and it hasn't changed. Does that really help anyone? I can understand some hesitance if it required a complete reinstall of all your add-ons - one might want to try to get some assurances before jumping in - but with the easy upgrade - bite the bullet and give it a try - the ONLY opinion that matters is YOUR opinion and how it runs on YOUR system. It's a great time for us simmers and it is only getting better. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

So perhaps if David will turn FXAA off and retake these screens again, thus we will see a completely different picture (assuming that SGSAA is disabled in NI as well). 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

March 8, 201610 yr That alone would make this the upgrade of the year!! That's pretty subjective - I only use built in AA settings and recently disabled FXAA - clears the gauge clarity right up.
