P3D V5 options explanation

Featured Replies

Hi everybody,

Is there a guide or can someone explain to me about these options in P3D?

For the weather I'm using ASP3D + ASCA + TOGA + Envshade, which option should I tick?

How does vsync + triple buffering + variable refresh rate affect the simulator? I'm using 25inch 280hz monitor so which one should I tick?

I've done some searching (and looking into P3D Learning Center) but still not so clear, sorry if this has been covered before.

Cheers,

Hoang

I can only suggest what I have used muyself with success and actually enhances a lot the looks in P3D, but I haven't yet been able to try it with v5.3...

You can tick the "Enhanced Atmospherics" but set the "Volumetry slider" all way to the LEFT ( NADA, Kaput, NIL, OFF 🙂 ), and this way benefit from much better EA lighting / shaders and still use ASCA.

@Hoang, I could be wrong because I don’t have a GSync monitor. The fps slider should be unlimited rather than at 40.

The monitor will then control the fps in conjunction with the graphics card.

Thank you I'll do that

Thanks. My montior has Gsync but I turned it off. I will set to unlimited.

It's probably best if someone who has a GSync monitor advises on your settings but setting the fps in P3D should always be avoided.
