Hi folks, was running an old i4770K overclocked at 4.4GHz and no hyperthreading. Suffered from heavy stuttering, high CPU temps and the occasional high-temp-induced protective lockup. Then I went into my BIOS: Dropped overclock to 4.2 GHz Enabled hyperthreading Lowered CPU voltage from 1.346 to 1.2. Night and day. Stutters much less severe, occur less frequently than before. last much shorter and the improvement in smoothness is visible. And my old CPU runs much cooler without sacrificing performance at all. My moral : give it threads - not GHz. This one is now a keeper. Thank you Asobo/MS.

I have a new Thrustmaster HOTAS combo and want to use the joystick hat switch to pan in VC and in spot view (F11) Using the assignments I can configure it just fine in VC. I can pan in all directions. However, in F11 view in can only pan left and right but not up and down. All the references I have found to this problem suggest clearing all the view assignments so that they do not conflict. I have done that. I have also reinstalled ChasePlane. Issue still persists. Would anybody have any other suggestions ? On my old Saitek X52 it all worked just fine. Thanks

I borrowed an LG 38UC99 that runs at 3840x1600 (109 dpi). Because of the high pixel density I found it easy to turn down the AA AAF settings and still have a crisp display. Coming from an old 1920x1200 display (94 dpi) it looks amazing. I was afraid my GTX 970 would not handle it but the FPS rate loss is negligible - if at all. I also turned off VSync in P3DV4. So much more immersive. I just need to find the money to actually buy one Hope this helps 🙂

I have an old monitor that only displays P3DV4 dynamic lights is SSAA ( of course, it kills the frame rates). Yesterday, I borrowed a newer, better monitor to test and to my surprise it showed dynamic lights in MSAA too. So, what is it that I need to look for in modern monitors so that they will display dynamic lights in any anti aliasing mode I may want to use...? Thanks

I miss both the Tu-134 and the PT Tu-154M for FS2004 terribly. Wish I could have at least one of them in P3DV4. Great shots...

When will 0.4 be pushed out ?

Maybe this is not important to a lot of people but if I buy a product I want to fully own it. Having my profiles exclusively in the cloud is not my idea of ownership. Plus, the other day my ISP was down and I could not use CP . . . Is this something that could potentially happen ? Thanks

I see what I was not doing. I had to click on the "Outside" button on the left side of CP icons then the import icon becomes visible.

Spoke too soon. The method is good for cockpit views. How about importing aircraft (wing) views. There is no similar button to import view - or at least I don't see it... Thanks

...and then change target aircraft...(very important) OK. Thanks for your quick and effective help. I am in business...

OK. I just confirmed that. So how could I go about using eg.an A318 set of views as a starting point for my A320 ? Building form scratch is time consuming. But if I could import and then just make some minor quick tweaks that would be great... Looked for some kind of export but nothing seems available. Thanks

Thanks. Got it. One last question : If I change a view that I just imported form another aircraft will the change only be reflected in the newly-changed aircraft view or will it at the same time change in the source view aircraft ? Thanks

Just setting up the BBS Airbus and have realised that I actually have six different aircraft. Is there a way to copy one set of views and assign them to another aircraft ? Thanks

That will do fine for the time being. Thank you. Looking forward to the enhancement.

I know that. But why would I have to do that ? Did not have to previously - and I could also edit the flyby view in camera.cfg.. Of well....thanks anyway.

The biggest annoyance is the fly-by view...the plane is so much further away. Before ChasePlane installation it would fly by much closer - essentially the zoom factor has been changed.

After I installed Chase Plane the outside lock, the flyby and the top zoom view (F12) behaviours were changed by the ChasePlane installer What can I do to restore something as close to the original as possible ? Thanks

I would like to make changes to the default flyby as well as the outside locked spot view. Tried editing camera.cfg but it did not work. What are my options ? Thanks for any suggestions

I have watched a lot of YouTube videos of P3Dv4 flights and was always impressed by how people manage to get sharp VC instrument displays. I find my display is not blurred but it is far from what I would call sharp. Is there a trick to improving the instrument (and general) display ? Or is it because people downgrade from 4K to 1080p and then it looks just great ? Thanks

Is there a way to increase the amount of anticipation ? As it stands out of the box I find it doe snot look far enough to the side to which I am turning. Thanks

Yes, I am slowly realising that I just need to change the way I think about the views. Getting there....

Figured out that the installation changed the global cameras.cfg file. Changes are clearly visible (disabled). If I were to disable the hotkeyselect lines used by Chase would Chase throw a fit ? How are the hat switch mappings disabled ? Meaning - in which file can I see the changes ? Thanks

Installed the latest version into P3Dv4. I can now no longer pan my view in the VC. My hat switch is totally inoperational in the VC. I also have some views assigned to my controller switches that now behave totally differently. I was hoping for an application that enhances my experience - not makes it worse. Is there a way to get Chase plane to actually accept the P3Dv4 keyboard and controller control assignments ? Thanks

in FSX I used Opus FSI for creating custom cockpit views. Does P3Dv4 have any similar built-in functionality ? Any other software besides ezDok that does the same in P3Dv4 ? Thanks

After playing with P3Dv4 for a couple of days it is clear to me that the days of FSX on my PC are a thing of the past. Better graphics - better performance. This process will require repurchasing some software. Which leads to my main question: Which weather engine will be required for the 747 P3Dv4 version ? I ask because in FSX it required ASN. Thanks
