Since I did the "upgrade" for the A320 (more or less out of shear curiosity), I did find it to be more stable than with the previous release.  Like you, I was able to use the A320 in XP11 without any issue...that I could experience, which means that at some point, something was going to go wrong.  I didn't mind the nominal fee, since I knew these guys are very active in the XP community and my fee helped solidify their presence as well as ensure I had a 100% working aircraft, or at least up to the time of the latest beta.  I know my decision was a bit contradictory, but I figured I'd jump on this now, rather than later, if there was price shifting at some point.  I thought about getting the A330, but I already had a decent long-range aircraft, which is the FF767, and now that this one has been updated, I'm eager to get this bird back up in the air.

I know were wandering off topic but upgrade the 767 to the latest version and it works a treat. Make sure you pay attention to the instructions over on the .org for loading the aircraft correctly

No, just because Jcomm mentioned IL2 clouds as a comparison. :-)

Thanks

I would not take the Threaded Optimization On/Off setting as scripture.  I think it was a mistake to pin that to the forum.  This can be compared to the use of Affinity Mask in other sims, and how some swore up and down it was necessary, when in fact it was dependent on the individual user's system.  Case in point, the TO setting may help, but that's as far as it should have gone.  I have said before that as we draw to a close on the Beta phase, this sim will separate the men from the boys, in that textures are being looked at more now, and rendering capabilities and optimizations are being conducted, so if you are finding that in one beta, everything was fine and now it's different, you will need to start paying closer attention to your settings.  i would follow the same mantra as was done with FSX and P3D, in that, you start your settings low and work your way up, paying close attention to your cpu and gpu limits and not so much about the fps count, as that is a direct result of the limits.

This video is a good reference point, as there are good explanations, as well as suggestions to making X-Plane really look good and perform well:

PB 15 made no difference for me so I ended up deleting my preferences folder and had it rebuild itself. That has corrected the problem with with the stuttering.
