April 17, 20206 yr ...resistance was FUTILE... Da*n curious has always been my undoing...and I have to admit...and gladly...that the user screen shots look awesome...the world seems to have er, ah..'polish' on everything...and very clear, crisp rendering. So...done like dinner. I have a 3440x1440 wide monitor, so not exactly 4K..and being that I fly mostly VFR and Civil Aircraft...I don't feel that I will be too much OOM deficit. I plan to load in all my Orbx regions, airports, and hopefully the Orbx freeware seaplane bases are ready to go. So...this will be my Friday morning fun-fest. I had so wanted v5 to be a success, and it probably will be so, by v5.3 or better. Just so you folks know...as of today, it isn't version 5.0, but is v5.0.21.xxxxx so if that is not your installed version over the last couple of days...then they have already begun 'tuning'... Wish me luck...and at least I am forewarned and armed about what some feel IS causing the OOM and CTD's. I'll start with all settings low, will have the vRAM indicator on...and keep raising the 'bar' until I either have it where I wish it to be for graphics...or I fire off my first OOM/CTD. From there...will merely back it off, until I run the highest for my system my GTX1070, and wait with everybody else, for the v5.'x's to come down the pipe. I'll tell ya what, as I wait for the download to finish...I really believe the visual output truly is a notch or three above v4.5. My personal opinion in play. That's what truly pushed me 'over the wait and see'. 🙂 Ses

Now I live vicariously through you. 😃 MSFS

April 17, 20206 yr Many of us has loaded orbx into our v5 and have no issues. You should be fine. EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
April 17, 20206 yr yes, but the loading time gets worse and worse, after all my orbx it is taking about 5min😗

April 17, 20206 yr Can I ask what is the procedure for loading Orbx into P3D v5. Does the Central copy the files over to the new P3D v5 location if you have it on a new drive? Mark CYYZ

Via orbx central. Choose v5 is the menu. Point installation root to either v5 directory or use current library. Then dont forget to confirm library insertion points!

April 17, 20206 yr Author Wow...I have everything you can, to full...all features on...EVERYTHING...even speed trees...and am using with a default plane and default scenery so far...3.7 out of 6.7 vRAM. I have to tell ya...looking GOOD!~ Here we go...first flight! Seems to not (vRAM) be going over 3.5 out of alloted 6.7 GB on my GTX1070! Man...I think this is gonna work!:) This is with everything in the sim, full on...but I won't be running it this way...like the SpeedTrees. So now..I did my system-kick-butt test...and it passes...now to load in all my Orbx 'junk'...lol! Here we go...and yes, Virginia...the world, even as default does look...more realistic than v4.x It does...and the user screenies did't lie! Now to settle in...for the Orbx installation derby....

April 17, 20206 yr Author Wow...put your Vsync on...for my FPS went right up...AND...my vRAM reduced from 3.5, to 3.2 just by doing that! You need to use Vsnyc!
