Do you run 4k?  I'm just wondering if setting the texture that low (1024) is something that makes the quality poor.  

Look at my vids. 1024 textures look great on 55” 4K  and 2x 43” ( NVSurround) 4 K...

Anything you hear about P3Dv5 HF2 ? 

Because  all the developers lurked in anticipation.

In jurisprudence, there is a principle - you look for the person who benefits.

i don't think a zoomed out picture like those however is where you actually see the difference in the texture size.  It's looking at small detail when zoomed in.

My 2600K still kicks you know what.

I kept my i5 2500k for a very long time, until I finally upgraded to my current i7 7700k.  That chip took an overclock like a champ.

Perhaps the post on this thread should be on LM forum with HF2 not far away, I was reading PMDG are holding up the 737 and 777 V5 till after the next update MK working on Lisbon, Devs don't want to have to patch again as I understand a change to the lighting in HF2 may affect this.

Thanks for the update Rob.

I decided not to be an early adopted this time and am grateful for everybody else doing the hard yards with troubleshooting. I've done a clean reinstall of Windows (just waiting for the 2004 update to hit) and will wait until HF2 is out before installing V5.

It does seem that a number of addon on developers are waiting in the wings to see how HF2 plays out before releasing their products - hopefully its not too far away! Rob over at LM said "within a couple of weeks" back on the 20th..... So he's got four more days 🙂 🙂

Will LM ask for a complete reinstall again for v5 h2 or revert to Client only being possible?

I would like to spend my limited time flying rather than reinstalling-if poss

Talk about HT being some kind of problem continues to be really boring. Those that do should know better. And not using AMs is part of the problem HT or not. Excess heat can be seen with too many cores allocated to P3D even with HT disabled. Excess heat is an improper setup.

Thanks for the kind comments folks. I'll be glad if those tips are helpful.
For the others who are in bad shape, I am sorry for them, there is nothing I can do other than suggesting them to leave this thread.

Back on topic.
My new OC (5.0 GHz with HT enabled, AVX=1) has successfully passed 12 hours OCCT6.0 test, so I can say it is "stable".


Today I have cleared the shaders while flying and switched the textures to 4096.
(PMDG 748 from LEBB to LEMD. Orbx and Aerosoft airports)
I was a bit anxious because before I downgraded the CPU speed (from 5.1 to 5.0), P3Dv5 was always crashing near complex airports using 4096x4096 textures, and particularly this one.
But this time, landing was perfect.

So yes, I insist again, your PC might be potentially unstable and you were not aware of it with P3Dv4+.
That's the main cause of CTDs, BSODs and other crashes other than those caused by certain addons in the V5.

I don't know which is more of a problem: an unstable PC or an unstable PC user caused by an unstable PC.

AVX is used extensively in P3D so whatever "stability" tool one uses, they need to ensure it uses AVX instructions also.

Thanks for posting that Rob. I've often wondered whether P3D uses AVX. Do you happen to know which version of P3D first started using it?

i see it when migrated from 6700k to 7700k that have downclock option for avx in bios.

dont remember witch version on p3d

Sorry but, what is avx ?

 

Alain from Montreal

AVX instruction are a series of CPU accelerate instruction set build into Intel and AMD processor. Intel has an something called AVX-512 which AMD doesn't have.
