Yup a nice clean Installation with zero issues. Today when I'm flying and I see topic after topic of people with issues I'll be laughing my head off while I cruise across the Atlantic to Orlando..

And besides installing fsl spot lights took shorter than normal as they took my 16 quid a few weeks ago and then gave it to everyone for nothing

I don't know why you guys don't do a complete reinstall. I managed to drop the partition, reinstall windows, P3Dv4, orbx and all my airports and aircraft in 16 hours. Stated at 10 yesterday and was finished by 2am. 

Is worth putting in the time

I always do that. Reinstalling Windows 10 is done within an hour and by that I mean downloading the latest installer, installing it on a freshly formatted SSD and setting things up to my liking. (I always have an updated to do list of every step I have to take when installing Windows: saves a LOT of time!) Installing P3D with all my preferred (mandatory) addons takes something like a sunny Sunday afternoon but I usually start with installing only the things I need for my first flight so I might be flying within a few hours after formatting the SSD. (And btw I also have seperate text files with all my altered settings for every addon I use which also saves a LOT of time!) Result: a perfecly clean and up to date installation with no clutter and junk from previous versions which always works like a charm. 

I actually LIKE reinstalling Windows 10... I like a clean and lean system. I think I do this at least 3 times a year, if not more often.

I did just a client reinstall and zero issues. :)

i agree you wait by the weekend (after that a319 comes out) there will be 10 or more topics on reinstallation issues.  I even got down the gym for an hour and a half while my orbxs stuff was queued up being downloaded.

I still run my Windows 10 updated from Windows 7 and the Windows 7 installation was already more than two years old and survived two new graphics cards and a portover on two new SSD. Now I even replaced CPU, mainboard and RAM without re-installing W10 and it still works without a single issue. I even never needed my monthly backup. It is all about maintaining a clean and lean Windows, not achieving this by re-installing three times a year...

this is what happens in work, when its a quiet day, the planes are behaving, and the crews arnt being muppets, someone in IOCC  will say "what a lovely quiet day".  Thats the hour when you get 2 diverts into Lajes leading to AOG , a training captain then going sick on report for an annual line check which expires tomorrow, and then to top it off the crew hotel in Atlanta telling you they overbooked 18 rooms that evening  and theres a conference on in town.

Its a brave man or women whos says its a quiet day and then Jinxes it 

Can anyone speak to the performance of dynamic shadows (not lighting) in 4.3?  That has always been an FPS killer in the past.

Please explain the benefits of the Full Reinstall. I see none unless you cannot understand simple instructions. 

Rumors are that the brand new 1.285 release of FSL320 is shining in the 4.3. Is anyone willing to confirm?

I am going to stick my neck out and say for me, it is smoother than the NGX. Previously, I could not fly that tart into airports bigger than childs playground, well I just flew into EDDF, and it was just great. I think they have cracked it this time.

Is it me or the all of the cores seem to be utilized a lot better?
