If you have  a pagefile, your system would start to use it and your performance would go to single digits. If you have no pagefile, you would crash. On 1920x1080 and sim literally maxed out I was not able to reach 7 gigs of total used RAM over Heathrow, so I don't know how people push it further lol.

Anyway, performance wise I don't see any improvements vs vanilla v3 (which none of us used for nothing else but testing)

I pushed it well over 8 gigs around NYC.

I9 12900K @ 5.1ghz P-cores/ 4.0 ghz E-cores fixed HT off / Corsair iCue H150i Capellix Cooler/ MSI Z690 CARBON WiFi / 32GB Corsair DDR5 RAM @ 5200 mhz XMP on / 12GB MSI 4090 RTX Ventus 3 / 7,5 total TB SSD (2+2+2+1+0,5 all NVMe)/ PSU 850W Corsair / 27" (1080P)

Obviously the setting sliders are not apples and apples with v3.  But even when I dropped mine to look like v3 I'm still getting approx 30-40% less fps than v3.  Not good hehe.  I'm guessing my older system isn't handling it well.  My vram is maxed and my gpu load is maxed on my GTX 970.  system ram is around 5 GB total (not P3D only) in use.  I have 8 total.

Another reason to upgrade my system (now it's not just for XP11 hehe).

Overall it's fine but I don't see myself using it a lot especially not with 30-40% fps loss. Odd thing is in game, my CPU is averaging 30-50% usage....  not high...  So multithreaded.... not really so much.  But no oom's lol!  But seriously, in this pic, default scenery, XP GLJ25, I'm getting 20-25 fps with nearly the same settings I'm using in P3D v3. (and when I mean same settings I mean I've dropped the v4 sliders to look like what I see in v3).  Not good hehe.

Testing with the F-22 after firing up the throttle and going really fast my autogen is gone except when I slow down I can see some in the distance. Is this a feature of p3d? This is my first time using it.

 

Overall great performance i7 oced to 4.2ghz, nvidia titan, 512gb ssd, win10 latest Nvidia drivers as long as I put water one notch below the highest, and do not enable ground shadows.

I tested WOAI. Does not work entirely as I phantasized.

@Ryan , my system is almost identical to yours, I run my 2500k at 4.5Ghz though.

I get the same 30-40% less performance compared to V3 :(

Toronto was always the OOM of doom for me.  Can't wait to fly out of here without hanging on a knife edge.

Same here. I flew around TO last night with all Terrain and Scenery Options sliders maxed, clouds maxed, very high shadows, in 4K, and it was awesome!

WOAI uses FS9 native AI models. LM removed support for FS9 style AI in V4.

With 4xSSAA shimmering and flickering are non existent for me. I'm using a GTX 1080 at 4k

Same settings (and FXAA turned off) are working great for me, too. Also running a GTX 1080 at 4K.

Well, that is a true shame. These models made me always happy. What to do now?

Do you think it's your 970, your Amount of physical RAM or your cpu that's causing the bottleneck?

I have a 2700k running at 4.8 with 8gb of ddr3 ram but I have a 1080ti.

I might hold off for a bit until at least a ram upgrade

Sure , it's the GPU that falls short.

P3Dv4 has an improved lighting system and that taxes the graphics card more.

Sounds good. Hoping the 1080ti will keep up at 4k. I'm only really interested In  the higher draw distance for terrain.
