TFDI 717 performance after update?

[pilot10112 4]

Hey all!

I have a couple questions that have held me way back from getting this aircraft after such a long time waiting to purchase this product. First of all is performance, my PC's specs are CPU- Intel 6700 Core, GPU- GTX 1070, and 16 GB of ram. I am hoping then that after the updates the performance is up to around the same as the PMDG NGX which I get around 25-45 depending on the scenery. Second question is are they planning on implementing PBR such as Leonardo have done to their Maddog X and lastly I love real world routes and fly solely in the U.S. I love the west coast but will also fly east and central, will this be beneficial to my fleet consisting of PMDG 747-400 & -8, 777-200 & -300, 737 with expansion; QW 787, MJCQ4, Aerosoft CRJ, FSLABS a320/319 CS 757 base and hopefully soon to be as330 pro and Feel Theres new e-jet series for P3D v4.4. I barley have any scenery though just Flightbeam's KPDX/KSFO, FlyTampa CYYZ/OMDB, JFK/LGA/TEB, and Taxi2Gate's KSEA. I am thinking about getting Flightbeam's KDEN and KIAD or KPHX or Imaginesim's KATL instead of this aircraft though (also waiting for imagine sims KLAX). as long as the airports are correct I don't really need anything special

Nice wall there...

I can say that the version I'm using is very much improved over the initial versions. In fact, it's all very nice now.

Not knowing what version you're referencing, I can't say specifically weather it is improved over the version you have. The installer says 1.1.1 in my case. I wouldn't try to make a guess otherwise. I can say it is very nice and fun to fly.

Have the view-changing CTD's /lockups been largely eradicated?

I think so. I've not had any problems. I haven't flown it hours and hours, but did give it a good workout with no problems. Really nice aircraft.

I think it is a very nice success story. I bought it "day one" and was quite sad 😞 They (TFDi) kept at it and believed in themselves and whada ya know. They did it.

I think it's the best regional airline jet aircraft going in P3D.

I would be interested in this too.

 

The reason why it's been sitting in my hangar since purchasing from day dot.

Unfortunately not and I would not count on it being fixed. I just use the additional view as a workaround which also come with the cost in fps.

So far no problems for me. Runs ilke a charm if your gpu can handle it. I with my potato EASELY get over 30FPS airborne

Runs nice for me too.  Nice modelling, great sounds and you can tell this was a real labour of love. Only thing I would raise a question mark over is the LNAV sometimes gets a bit confused but if you can live with that it’s a very nice addition to the hangar.

I'm not as pessimistic about an eventual fix. I don't think many users are experiencing this any more (I'm another who is not) so I suspect it's down to a specific interaction between some other add-on or configuration that will most likely get sorted at some point. I do feel for those having this issue though!

What liveries does this include, and are there others available either at the TFDI site or elsewhere..??

What is the "additional view"?  Do you mean ChasePlane or EZ-DOK?

Opening an additional view window (unrelated to a camera add-on)

I am an optimistic person in general 😉 but the forum is pretty quiet in regards to this issue.

You'll enjoy it. butter fps guaranteed. It's a bit heavy on the gpu but nothing compared to the fsl i used to own.  Honestly 60 bucks is quite neat considering it has trueglass, reallight, a tablet and a lot more. You won't regret it. It does have some minor bugs; those will get fixed soon or late.
