Common sense facts like slower flight or less complex aircraft add-ons results in better FPS can be left unsaid. When a person posts here there is either news, boasting, helping a fellow simmer, or asking for help. With the facts given in the OP I thought a simple suggestion was needed, because its true.  

In a V3 vs V4 war, V3 canont win in any category (except at being scared or lazy, in my view). If one cannot upgrade to V4 because of budgets or other, then that is another matter, but they should not be posting about poor performance - just keep it to themselves. 

If you can run V3, you can run V4 on the same PC with better results in V4.

V4.5 with the hotfix is even better than V4.0, one cannot reasonably argue with this.

Yes a new, fast PC would be the best course as always - can be left unsaid anymore.

The point of my response was to make it clear that a move to V4 would prove to increase FPS as well (setting for setting vs V3); this way the original plan/intent (9 months ago) with Orbx Germany could be an enjoyable experience. Plus it would not harm the GA experience either.

My post was not an "order from Heaven that you MUST upgrade", just a suggestion so that a fellow flight simmer could enjoy simming. I understand everyone has their own budget. 

A new PC and/or 4.5 is worth the difference, if (since!!!) frames and a smooth experience is wanted, but if FPS is not worth much then why post about it. 🤷‍♂️

 

Curios, what is your average FPS. I average 30. What should I get with Version 4.5  40 maybe?   LOL  Oh, and don't even start with trying to tell me my settings are all turned way down either, or I don't run any add ons. 

 

Scared and Lazy,!!

I don't think anyone would try and run P3D with minimum specs. 

 

I run P3D V4.5. with 8 GB of RAM and it is working just fine..

I don't do average - I lock and stay pegged at 20 FPS everywhere all the time. I don't like my FPS going all over the place, and I set very high settings.

As I said I was not telling you what to do or what you do, I was telling you your performance situation would very likely improve in P3D V4.51. 

But like I always say/ask, why are you not using P3D version 3.3 or 3.1? What made you go to 3.4? Price is the simple conclusion because the move to V4 will cost. But we simmers pay (better pc or sim) so we don't have to deal with low performance. If its not the $$, it has to be fear that it wont work, something will mess up, or too lazy to reinstall all the add-ons as needed.

First you talked about a slideshow, and the solution you used did not suffice (you had to resort to GA). Now you say you average 30 and initially responded that any other normal course of action to remedy a slideshow is not worth it. So its obvious to me that we totally disagree on this, no problem. But for the record you will not see a poor performance post by me. As a matter of fact I just landed PMDG 739 at KEWR runway 11 (facing NYC) with heavy storms and very high settings - 100% OCI AI - 20 FPS and smooth as butter....I hope the same and even better for you. 

Take care Bob.🙂

If I had to look at 20 FPS, I would find another hobby. You call 20 FPS very high standards  LOL.    Even older  movies  have 24FPs, which has moved now to 30 FPS. If that average 20 FPS is all you can get out of 4.5, I wouldn't have it on my PC. Another thing, your reading comprehension is pretty bad. ( Try re-reading the first paragraph in the post I started this thread with , maybe slowly and a couple of times.)  I stated when starting this thread, that the only FPS issue I had was with Germany North and South. I have flown in UTX areas, FTX areas, using the PMDG 737 and Q400 with no FPS  issues at all.

I am done with talking with you, it's a total waste of my time.
