Yh, but you need it for PMDG - and that's the only aircraft hangar I fly with

 

As far as I know, PMDG products do not require FSUIPC either, but that's probably best answered by PMDG staff.

FSUIPC remains a convenient tool for custom controls mapping, but it has limited value for addon developers, as most of its functions (if not all) can be performed using FSX/P3D SDK directly.

Again: 4.2 won't make your hardware faster and also won't tune your ingame-settings to reasonable digits.

You are trying to help people here and that is nice but you really have no idea what you are talking about on this topic. There is a bug using photoscenery it isn't as simple as "change your settings"

God knows what you think of me then, as I am still on v3.4.

Upgrading 3.4 was almost painless. From 3.4 to 4.0 it was more than that for obvious reasons and from 4.0 to 4.,it was totally ok. With each upgrade we have noticed improvements in performance, not massive but there was obvious gains.So, it makes sense to upgrade, at least after the community feedback is positive.

However, many people here were used to spend more time on "fixing" things with their simulation rather than flying, so I understand the hesitation to upgrade if you have perfectly smooth experience. If you can, make a back up and then upgrade. Then if you are not happy with it, install your back up and claim your money back from LM since they have a refund policy :D

I have no reason to upgrade from v3 to v4 at the moment. P3D v3.4 runs fine, and my short flights around the UK and Ireland generally avoid the problem of OOMs. Add the fact that Aerosoft Dublin is not yet working in P3D v4, lots of military AI planes are not yet compatible with P3D v4, and I would need a more powerful PC to actually benefit from the technical upgrades available in P3D v4.....and my conclusion is that sticking with v3.4 for the moment is my best option.

Same here , been flying 3.4 since it came out, never had an OOM, and it looks great and don't have to buy a new PC.

Several pages back, someone asked if the "photoscenery blurry textures" problem had been fixed. I have not yet seen a response to that.....

The problem with photoscenery is not yet proven to be a bug/problem within P3D.

There is a thread on LM forums where it is reported that LM arent convinced it is an issue for them.

I think to truly understand the 'problem' one needs to understand the architecture of any particular photoscenery and the LODs it is compiled for.

If we try to use a legacy photoscenery like Horizon GenX, which was designed for FSX in a 32but environment we are not truly seeing what may be possible in current P3D version.

There are from a scan read almost no differences in the photoscenery related parts of the SDK - the opacity of the official guidance is frustrating.

I'd like to perform some custom PR tests to prove to myself whether or not it is the architecture of the PR scenery that is the cause of 'blurries' or not, but I simply dont have time :(

This has nothing to do with settings or hardware.
