First flight results. Good? Bad? Doesn't matter. They are-what-they are.

All the settings were left at Recommended except for these which I reset to Ultra:

     Terrain Vector Data
     Buildings and Trees
     Grass and Bushes
     Texture Resolution
     Texture Synthesis
     Depth Of Field

I left the skies clear and flew KMRY-KSNS-KRHV-KSFO using the C152 at around 3000 AGL.

Specs are:

     CPU 4790K
     GPU GTX790 (with latest drivers)
     16 GB RAM
       4 GB VRAM
     Asus ProArt at 1920x1200

Here's what I found (averages):

     CPU 44%
     GPU 97%
     RAM 11.6GB
     VRAM 3.7GB
     FPS 28-36

Smooth as silk. No pauses and no stutters. I'm a happy simmer.

Wouldn't it be interesting if those of us flying GA to our local drome find this sim to be much more satisfying than guys flying heavy metal to KJFK?

Thanks for this. It encouraged me to purcase. I have I7 4770K, GTX 1660Ti 6Gb, same resolution.and memory. Even "poor" simmers like us will enjoy for a while, and next year when big birds come (pmdg and co.) I'll think about upgrade.

 

How does performance change when you set the sim to "live weather"?

Live Weather was on. The problem is that there was no "weather". I'll find some "weather" someplace and let you know what happens.....Doug

OK. Here's the result on FPS of adding in a bit of cloud cover:

Clear     34

Few 32

Scattered 28

Broken 28

High Level 33

Flying at 3000 AGL on a heading of 100 out of KMRY.

I've got the same CPU as you but a 1080 ti and 32GB ram....  alpha was pretty good for me at 1080P.  I'm installing the RTM version now and I'll report back.  

Thanks. I'm interested 'cause I'm thinking about a new GPU (maybe $$$).........Doug
