Recommended Settings P3DV4.3

Recommended Posts

I had took a break from P3D for a bit inwhich before i did i usually got 40-50FPS mostly around open areas, but now i only get 20-30fps in the same area (no settings changed), i haven't added/installed any addons. I had been trying very hard to change the settings and get a boost of FPS but i can't seem to. I am mainly concerned about the London area, i can never seem to get over 20fps although i do have Aerosoft Heathrow & VFR London X activated the way i had my settings, it wasn't very impressive

Can anyone recommend any settings?

 

Scenery Addons:

ORBX FTX Global

OpenLC Europe,OpenLC North America & South America, FTX Trees, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Norway,

VFR London X

My system is:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460S CPU @ 2.90GHx, 2901 Mhx, 4 Cores (s)

Windows 10

16GB RAM

NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 Ti

 

Might of missed out any essential system info.

Hi!

You might start by looking for 'prepar3dv4 settings' on Youtube. Q8Pilot has a video of his recommendations.

I hope this helps.

Your rig just about meets the min system requirements for v4 and with all the addons your running I would suggest you start dialing back all of the settings to get a reasonable stable flight. then increase a little at a time. perhaps you may need to think about some of the add-ons your  running.

edit .. I should have added your doing ok if your getting 20-30 fps. I can run at 30 on my rig I7 4770 4.2o/c with a gtx 1080 ti w10

I knew it may of been some of the addons that may of been a problem e.g Aerosoft Heathrow, VFR London X.

Does ORBX FTX Global & Trees have any impact on the FPS?

I don't have orbx Global installed but run FTX PNW, NC, SC, Central Rockies , Northern Rockies,Pacific Fjords , Pacific Northwest, Southern Alaska  and some orbx Airports and ASP4 weather, I also use Orbx trees which does not have any affect on frame rates.

I fly GA and have quite a few add-ons

hope this helps...bob

I would suggest a look into Rob Ainscough's excellent AVSIM Prepar3d guide

https://www.avsim.com/files/file/87-avsim-prepar3d-guide/

It has several recommendations for settings and moreover clearly states which sliders are CPU or GPU heavy.

Kind regards, Michael

I found that video from Q8Pilot settings for P3Dv4 very interesting. I did that settings for P3Dv4 and Video card. After launched P3D it was really too slow even I don't have OBRX. I think I have to leave it back to their Default.

I applied the Q8pilot settings seen in his video (all the steps) and it works pretty well for me,

I just changed the autogen to very high.

As we all keep saying - each system is different and more so when you factor in how one likes to fly. Find someone with hardware similar to yours  and copy their settings.

Adjust as necessary.

Your eyes, your system, your settings - mine won't work for you.

I found the Q8Pilot settings for P3Dv4 works for me. It was very slow loading the first time. Now, it appears working fine except I don't like watercolor view and especially from PMDG gauges. So, I disabled the option "Enable HDR Lighting" to get a better look as in FSX.

That's what I get with the Q8pilot settings. I used the F-18 VRS for testing the regen. Screen is a 4K (Sony Bravia XE70 - 3840x2160

and Nvidia 1070

Did you try with disabled the option "Enable HDR Lighting"? If I keep HDR selected then I get watercolor view not realistic. From your video clip looks like the HDR is off.

Hello Trish,

no, in the vid, the HDR is enabled. About the watercolor, you can changing the things with PTA, it needs several try to

get what you want..
