P3D V5.1 all Shadows checked almost no performance impact

Featured Replies

As the title says.....I was just amazed as I tested this. ALL Shadows turned on, draw distance at 1 notch from right, quality at medium....and still maintain 45 fps within VR at EDDF with lots of AI. 

Does someone knows what LM has changed that it is now possible to use Shadows with very low impact at performance? 

I use 10900k and RTX Titan but VRAM hardly increased with this settings. 

Before I had al shadow received  boxes checked and only 2 or 3 cast boxes checked. Buildings SimObjects, Vegetation, Particles, no shadow flagged content where off, now set on too.

This amazed me and just wanted to share with You all. 

Enjoy!

Yessssss....Thank you for sharing I asked the same question regarding this and got no definitive answer.

finally I can switch them all on when I update.

it cures all the shimmering and jaggies switching them on now but came with a little performance cost.

and also some shadow casting I believe vegetation or building caused anomalies??

oh that’s not using EA ???

I’m not wanting to use EA 

thanks

I use EA and do not know what's the impact without ea. But I thought someone said it is just in ea not that performance hungry.

It is a simple check.....try it as soon you got updated. 

I think You should take the plunge right now. V5.1 is sooo much better compared to 5.0HF2
