Configuration advices for my new System

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I was flying very much on FSX few years ago..But I had a break because of school.Now I bought a new System to fly again with P3D V4.I will give the spec's of my system and can anyone give some advices, add-on's for reality and tweaks for realism and quality.I guess my new system will be enough for a good quality.And one more question should I install P3D on my SSD or HDD will it make a big difference or not from reading speed of the scenery and autogen ?

Thanks.

 

System Spec's :

CPU - Intel i7 7700K 4.20GHz

GPU - Asus Strix Rog GTX1080 8 GB 

Mainboard - Asus Strix Z270F 

Ram - BALLISTIX Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit DDR4 4GBx4 2400 DIMM

SSD - Samsung 850PRO 512GB

HDD - WD Black 2 TB

 

That is a great system for P3D!

Personally, I would install P3D on the SSD... if you ever run out of space, you can move it..

As for tweaks, none are required..

Here are some suggested settings to get you started:

Thank you very much for your reply.Do you recommend to use Nvidia Inspector ? Also which Add-ons do you use for making P3D more realistic ?

I use Orbx scenery (Global + Regions), and the Flight1 GTN 750 in most of my aircraft.

NI is not needed (unlike FSX..)

There are also weather programs etc available.. just search the forums.
