QW787 Only Gets Better

The HUD is unusable because the refresh rate is so bad. The displays aren’t much better. 

Yeah I wondered, I cannot stand that with Addon.

Really? Better check your system setup because it looks fine to me.

PBR coming in next update.

 

Any idea when we can expect this update to be released? I'm looking forward to seeing what PBR can do.

Same here. 

Admittedly, my system is above average, but I suspect the issues with refresh rates on the HUD and PFD's could be hardware related..

They are not hardware related.

If you say so.

All I can tell you is the PFD's and HUD are smooth as silk on my system, no issues whatsoever with refresh rates, none.... 

Sorry to hear of your troubles, if it's not stretching the limits of your hardware, then I wonder what it could be..??

This is certainly not something i've heard a lot of complaints about, that's for sure. Hope you get it worked out.

I don’t have any issues with hud or pfd refresh rates either. Just as smooth as others out there.

Do these PBR textures also manifest themselves in the VC? I rarely get to see the outside of the plane that I am flying.

Then you have some other problem to chase, because the HUD is perfectly fine on my end as well. I use it all the time and it's very smooth.

The PFD refresh rate is set to 18 FPS by default. (I don’t know for sure, but  suspect the HUD is exactly the same.) This is a fairly low refresh rate compared to default rates in other payware aircraft and has exactly nothing to do with the user’s hardware.

You may not notice the lower than typical refresh rate, but it’s a fact nonetheless. The manual identifies a tweak you can add in the cfg file for the aircraft that increases the refresh rate (at the cost of performance) but some have reported the tweak doesn’t actually work.

If the HUD is indeed set to 18fps, and if it's not noticeable by most people, which by far seems to be the prevailing experience most users are reporting, what would account for the refresh rate apparently being a big issue for a very small number of people..??

The P3D (and FSX, FS9...) gauge system runs with a 55ms update period...or ~18 updates per second.  Gauges in addons that have a draw rate faster than this have to interpolate the data streaming from the core simulation, as it doesn't come from the simulation any faster than the gauge system refresh rate. 

Given that the default refresh rate is already set to that magic value of 18 Hz, I'm not sure if setting a refresh rate greater than 18 in the config file really has any effect.  I did a little cursory Google-Fu and did not find any good info one way or the other.

There is no problem with my system.

QW limits the display/HUD FPS to 18. That is a fact. I run P3D at 36 FPS.

I'll chime in again.  I fly the 787 at work and I'm very pleased with the QW 787. I also agree with the title of this thread 😀

I do get the occasional glitch but I get glitches with every software program I've ever dealt with.
