Tansatlantic traffic seems to be very slow. I  may have to wait until tomorrow for downloading

I hope they didn’t use the same updates from the NGXu for how it taxis in the sim. I still hate how the 737 feels on the ground.

Any early vram observations? I only have 8gb - keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 

Cheers,

Something is very wrong with PMDG's website. Did as RSR suggested, but lo and behold, the records for two purchases for the QoTS II and the add-on, the 747-8i have just vanished into thin air😡 Not exactly confidence-boosting!!!

And before anyone suggest, already posted in their Forum.

EDIT: Totally disregard this post of mine, as I have just  located my Purchases. Luckily I had kept a record of the dates as well as the Order Numbers I made my Purchases on, as the Order Numbers I logged and the current Order Numbers did not tally. Downloaded successfully.

Did just test the 747-400 at Mallorca. My VRAM is at 7.4/9.1 GB at 4K resolution. 

I get awesome 44fps at ground.

Addons:

• LEPA MK Studios
• ORBX 
• ACTIVE SKY (7/8 cumulus)

My System:

• I7 8700k @5ghz
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
• Gigabyte RTX 2080TI (11GB)

have 4.5 / 6.6 gb vram at Schiphol with Orbx TENL and AIG at 70% at 2K with ASP3D 🙂

[JRBarrett 3,038]

Base VRAM use at default KDTW with a V5 UPS 400F livery and default clear Sky theme is no worse than the Carenado Commander 114! That’s encouraging!

Have not flown yet, or brought ASPD3 into the picture, but until I start adding some high-end airport scenery, PMDG in and of itself does not appear to having a major VRAM impact. Have not tried the -8 yet, but will do so next...

Out of Gatwick no problem no stutters ORBX GB and UK2000 EGKK.

Out of FT's EHAM smooth as butter+ASP3D

Is it just me or is the night lighting really dark?

Curious to know everyone's VRAM usage with heavy third party add-ons.

Such as AI Traffic, Global Ship Traffic, Active Sky, Orbx Global, Trees HD, TerraFlora v2, Buildings HD, GSX, Fs2Cre RAAS, City Scenery like Drzweicks add-ons, etc. and running in 4K res. and high to max settings.

If you can still run with all these add-ons and not go over your VRAM limit and also keep decent FPS. Then P3D v5 is a looking hopeful.
