August 25, 20169 yr For my Sandy Bridge Extreme the following worked best. Affinity mask=85 HT=on Frames locked internally at 30 VSync=off Tessellation=high Dynamic Reflections=off For autogen: vegetation Max, houses off Scenery complexity maxed Other settings med-high to ultra Turned cockpit tooltips off No more tweaking. If ya'll don't hear from me for a while, I'm enjoying this sim! James McLees
August 25, 20169 yr Well done. You've just put the kibosh on your flight sim. NEVER, EVER, say fs is working perfectly. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
August 25, 20169 yr Commercial Member To me this shows just how different systems and simmers set up their rigs to their liking. Using Jimmy's post my settings with my 2600K works best at: Affinity mask= left at whatever default isHT=offFrames locked internally at "Unlimited"VSync=offTessellation=highDynamic Reflections=offFor autogen: vegetation Max, houses MaxScenery complexity maxedOther settings high to ultraTurned cockpit tooltips off :smile: Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)

August 25, 20169 yr I'm with you, Clutch Cargo. 2600K/3.4GHz and pretty much the same settings (except VSync on right now). But as you say, it's a difficult interplay of components. I use an Intel board (DZ68DB) and an EVGA GTX970, btw.

August 25, 20169 yr Affinity mask=85 HT=on Frames locked internally at 30 VSync=off Hey James- Same here, but still running 3.2.3 P3D on 0,2,4,6 and AS2016 on 1,3,5,7-that's it. You might try VSync=60 and frames unlimited at the low(er) fps heavy airports. Works even better. I haven't touched this setup for well over a month; don't even think about it anymore, I just fly which is great. Cheers, Mark
August 25, 20169 yr Hey James- Same here, but still running 3.2.3 P3D on 0,2,4,6 and AS2016 on 1,3,5,7-that's it. You might try VSync=60 and frames unlimited at the low(er) fps heavy airports. Works even better. I haven't touched this setup for well over a month; don't even think about it anymore, I just fly which is great. Cheers, Mark Hm, you just made an utterly useless topic even more utterly useless. James said his sim is working great so... why tell him to change things and screw it all up? But ah, well, that's what you get with utterly useless topics like this. (Yeah, I am in a weird mood... ) I always wonder what's the use of posting random settings for random systems and saying it works great. Or sucks. Or whatever. Who gives a ######? Utterly useless. (Yes, I am in a VERY weird mood... )
August 25, 20169 yr Author Hey James- Same here, but still running 3.2.3 P3D on 0,2,4,6 and AS2016 on 1,3,5,7-that's it. You might try VSync=60 and frames unlimited at the low(er) fps heavy airports. Works even better. I haven't touched this setup for well over a month; don't even think about it anymore, I just fly which is great. Cheers, Mark I've noticed that also Mark, if I can't hold 30 locked, switching to unlimited in a dense area can help. Perhaps that can help someone and also help those on the fence about P3D to see folks happy with the latest version. I'm out..firing up a flight! James McLees
August 25, 20169 yr We'll alright then. I've got a few more hours in the salt mines and I too will be jumpin' into the Lear 25 running up to KSFO from KSAN. Cheers, Mark
August 25, 20169 yr I'm scared to post here in case I jinx up my setup, but now it's too late! Is there such a thing as jinxed by association? What should I do?
