May 5, 20179 yr Was looking at a quote from one of the Orbx developers regarding performance.... Quote Updated my system to a GPU 1180 8gig, CPU overclocked to 4.6 Running LOD 7.5 all sliders maxed and 3d raindrops weather set to max that includes 100% AI and rd traffic and around Las Vegas very dense autogen still smooth, FPS did drop to 19 but I have a 34inch wide screen at 3440 x1440. I will ask permission to post some screenshots and if thats cleared I'll post them here. cheers We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

May 5, 20179 yr Ok I found myself the appropriate thread on Orbx forum. I made myself several tests with Flight Schools months ago. I added a lot of photoreal (only scenery I was able to add) and raised the LOD up to 12.500000 with all possible settings maxed out. The results were in part amazing. While this impacted the performance, I was surprised that the FPS drop was less severe than expected . Since nobody seemed to care, I did not post this here or any other fora. :-)

I had no idea that "fora" was an acceptable plural for "forum". Cool. I remember some of the experimenting you did with Flight School... interesting stuff. One thing I'll say about Flight School: It's ugly; but it does seem to run smoothly with high LODs. Hopefully FSW will follow suit... in a prettier way

Hopefully FSW will follow suit... in a prettier way LOL. I am not a native English speaker, but you should appreciate my efforts to be considered as part of the 'overculture' Now seriously. Yes, DTG Flight School was definitely ugly, yet it featured a lot of promising pros that I hope will be taken and improved by FSW.
May 5, 20179 yr @DTG_Cryss @DTG_Aimee I know that you may not be the right person for the 3rd party stuff, but PMDG just issued a statement about FSW (where it appears that Dovetail is not quite talking with them) and since I (and probably most of the community) consider them one of the best developers for Airliners, It would be nice for Dovetail to partner with them in bringing their products to FSW. You can check it here:

Al Well, if FSW offers the same functionality as FSUIPC internally, what difference does it make whether or not FSUIPC is updated? Pete will actually welcome such a development! Fr.

Bill, If FSW offers the same functionality as FSUIPC, including the ability to use Lua scripts and access to the sim parameters as FSUIPC does to allow a/c specific customization by the user, then you are correct, it doesn't make a difference. We shall see what is provided. Al

He said something about declining an offer to sell their products on DTG´s steam store. It seems to be a requirement to be certified by DTG they will have to sell on their store.

May 5, 20179 yr Just now, n4gix said: It was made clear yesterday that 3rd party developers can continue to sell via their own existing channels as long as they are also made available via the Steam portal. It is not a binary choice. I know that, but he was saying they refused to sell there. He didn´t say anything about exclusivity. Some developers don´t like steam´s policies. Anyway, let´s just wait for official announcements. I was just overthinking. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel

Exactly, it would be nice If Dovetail could have an agreement with PMDG. 2 minutes ago, n4gix said: It was made clear yesterday that 3rd party developers can continue to sell via their own existing channels as long as they are also made available via the Steam portal. It is not a binary choice. That's exactly why PMDG declined to offer their products for FSX: Steam, since Dovetail required to made them available on Steam.
May 5, 20179 yr For those wondering about PMDG products: PMDG just released an official statement on what's happening for them between FSW and Prepar3D v4 on their facebook page. I posted the full statement in the PMDG forum here: Connor Pack, United States P3Dv4, ORBX, FS2Crew, GSX, Active Sky v4 + ASCA, PMDG 737, Navigraph Charts + Data, TOPCAT, PFPX, UTLive, FSFX Packages, Flightbeam Airports.
