Your Thoughts on P3D v3

[Caribpilot 56]

Just so we are clear, this post is only about P3D not FSX-SE. The review was on P3D which is on a completely different level to FSX-SE..

My experience with P3D v3 has been amazing, switched 3 weeks ago from FSX and haven't looked back.

Awesome graphics, performance, etc.

I have a Lenovo Erazer X510 system with 16GB of RAM and SSD drives.

When P3D v3 came out, I installed and then shortly after uninstalled it. The same thing happened with P3D v3.1; I haven't bothered yet with P3D v3.2. So for now I fly with FSX Acceleration and FS9.1 only.

 

The reasons:

1. 33% drop in frame rate overall.

2. 50% drop in frame rate when encountering clouds.

3. Extremely poor Anti Aliasing.

4. Compatibility with my existing addons.

 

The probable cause for reasons 1 to 3 is that I am running with only a stock clocked i7-4770 and a GTX 750 Ti 2GB graphics card.

I have a stock i5 at 3.1 G and a GTX 750 TI and P3d 3.2 runs great on my rig.

OC that and you'll be very surprised ... there's a huge difference ...
