P3D 5.1 NON EA MODE

[mikeymike 366]

What about not using EA?

are we able to enable all shadows cast/receive options 

vegetation 

particles

terrain 

buildings.

all without a performance drop.

ide love to have them all enabled as it eliminates the shimmering and jaggies on my 50 inch 4k

but Some shadows also look horrible enabled.

has it been fixed with 5.1?

thanks

EA right now is a disaster, worse than ever.

Performance here slightly better than with V5.0 HF2...

Thanks salden.

I am assuming you have  options on shadows enabled?

and there are no anomalies on shadows?

I believe it was the casting of terrain or vegetation shadows that looked horrible, or perhaps buildings?

cant remember. I’ll have to double check.

thanks

I do not usually update immediately after a patch or new version of the software is released, which I apply for the simulator.
Reading about the P3D update, LM says "EA is now not a BETA", but since I haven't seen any screenshot of the interface updated to V5.1, I must ask:
Is there an option to disable EA ???

Yes, there is an option to disable EA.

Before the update I was always flying without EA as it was in "beta".  I just never really thought about using it as I had settings the way I liked them.  Now with 5.1 I think I could fly with EA during the day and then just shut it off fo dawn/dusk/night flights.  I might try that for a while see if it grows on me.

I do not agree, performance is worse, more stutters and lower frame rates, i did a comparison true earth Netherlands  back to back on a i9 10900kf and in p3dv5.1 it cost me a lot of frames and caused a lot of stutters where in v5hf2 it was stutter free with 30-40 frames more

and i am not the only one that noticed..

Like I wrote ; slightly better performance in regular weather mode.

However, in EA mode I can use more detail with higher fps and it is much smoother.

My guess is that something went wrong when you installed V5.1. Perhaps you should try again. Your cpu is very good. Don’t know about your gpu.

I use Prosim as my ac and its official compatible with V5.1. Here I use a 2080Ti for 2x 4K  with NVsurround (server) and a 2080 for 1x 4K (client)...

V5.1 really is a step up in performance compared to V5.0 HF2.
Your pc should run V5.1 as butter as it is high end...

What is EA really anyway?

Is there a substitute for EA (3rd party)?

Thank you

I have similar behavior with P3D V5.1. I am having one strange micro stutter every certain time. When this happen i always see a peak in my ten core.

I posted in LM Forum:

Are you sure that your ac is/are 100% compatible with V5.1 ?

Yesterday I flew at night with B.M. Ext Lights, everything enabled, and the FPS were higher than with any version of P3D.

Over TE Netherlands with LOD at ultra compared to lower FPS in V4.5/5.0 HF2 with LOD at high...

Both pc’s were running smoother ( 8700K / 7940X )..,
