Concorde released

[GCBraun 2,392]

So, just by turning road traffic completely off, I've got a good FPS bump (25 to 35 on KJFK with some AI). With Core 0 being 98% used and GPU idling at 50%, every workload removed from the CPU helps a lot.

What about De Gaulle? I just enable highway traffic and it doesn’t impact much.

Usually u are not pushed to be a forum member to download some control center app...

This is much ado about nothing.  The need to put copyrighted commercial software behind some kind of firewall is pretty obvious--whether it's a store account or a support forum account that's used to download software and get support really is a matter of semantics.  PMDG requires their Ops Center, Leonardo requires a support forum account to get Maddog updates, Majestik requires either a support forum account and/or a store account for their updates, Aerosoft requires a store and/or support forum account for updates and most other add-ons require some sort of store account somewhere to download the software and get updates.  etcetera...etcetera...etcetera...

Who, after all, buys an $80 add-on and doesn't want to download liveries and other support software or peruse the support forums to answer questions or get help with problems?  Putting all that in one place makes some sense.

About 30fps sitting at the gate with FSUIPC limiting traffic to 28 aircraft.

Not compatible with P3Dv6??!

That is a non-starter for me

[Beardyman 604]

Oh yes, that plane is VAS hungry indeed, few minutes inside setting Chase plane and then go outside to have a look, and all available memory is gone together with Concorde...

 

I stand corrected about GPU memory - u need a lot

P3D6 is non starter itself ... 🙂

I get around that now but in a PMDG737 but much lower settings I suspect.

Yep exactly the same for me, setting up Chaseplane and got an OOM. And that's without the Cabin.

Will probably have to tone down my settings considerably to use this at addon airports.

For a 96 euro addon I would expect installation to be smooth as it was with above mentioned other addons (PMDG, Leonardo etc.). For that price I feel myself entitled to some grumpyness. And yes I believe I can solve the problem.

I've now re-entered my license details 8 times. Waiting to get locked out. Memorable first impression. 😕

I see a (Target 45), meaning you are using the internal limiter as well. To my recollection, that has a huge impact on performance.

Im sure I read somewhere you need 12 gig vram for the cockpit displays.

Lots of crashes, it wants to change my graphics settings and executable permissions. This OOBE won't fly in the MSFS world.
