I'm planning the same upgrade actually with the same motherboard as well :). Was great reading this actually. If i may ask,what did you chose as cooling? Air-cooled or AIO?Been reading a couple of threads and one suggest picking an AIO while the other mentions air-cooling is sufficient for this CPU.

If running without this gives me +/-40fps with not all settings maxed out,could i increase certain settings with this mod?

I'm actually having similar issues.loading times have definatly increased with SU14 for me. Also FSLTL keeps giving me the simconnect connection failed message. Also weird is that some aircraft like the A310/MD-11 stop working.They work again after deleting the wasm compile files and then they work. Been doubting to do a re-install/repair of MSFS but unsure if this would work.If anyone has any suggestions....

Don't forget Aviotek for EDDF.They allready made it for XP12 but are making it for MSFS as well. As for LFPG, i think T2G is the only one for now. Brgds, Steven

I got basicly the same setup as the OP. Would you mind sharing your settings,both for MSFS as for NCP? Thanks! Kind regards, Steven

Allready replied ;).

Absolutly love the plane! For those keen on the cargo variant or maybe even the A300,show some interest here : https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/5995-ready-to-buy-a-cargo-version/ I really hope they decide to release/develop the cargo variants.... Brgds, Steven

Hi gents, How does one change the key binding for the panelstates?Cause this is now interfering with my GSX/FSLabs config. Brgds, Steven

word not allowed this looks awesome!Allready have your first iteration installed,but can't wait to get flying with the above!. Thanks allready for all the hard work! Brgds, Steven

Thanks for the manual to get this old beauty working in P3D. I use this in v4.5 for the moment as i've not switched yet to v5 and wondered if you could help me with the following: -I seem to lack some reflection profiles for this bird.I found 1 set,but the DC-10-30F is missing and be it,that's the one i'm using the most 😄 Also the regular DC-10-30 is missing thereflection on the center fuselage. -I read on the simouthouse forum that there seem to be a panel merge for the ISG gauges flaoting around somewhere,but i'm unable to find it.Could anyone point me in the right direction for this? Thanks in advance! Brgds, Steven

Hi gents, As there are so many topics before this one,i too am in need for some help chosing my next GPU. My current specs are: i7 3770k @4.5ghz 8Gb Ram GTX660ti 2Gb Now i think my GPU is in need for some upgrading.As i run GPU-Z,i can see that the card is at it's 100% usage. Now the problem i got is which one to get?I got a budget of around 400-500€. I allready found some GTX 980's for a good price,but the new 10xx series are looking promising also.Especially those 1060 series,which are also reasonably priced.but then again,for that price you can get a 1070...see my problem . I'm all open for your suggestions . Thanks in advance!

Hi Ted, I installed GPU-Z and let it run as i as fiddling around(i also deleted my cfg and let it build a new one) and as expected i run the card at 97/99%.So i guess that means that the card is really the bottleneck of my current rig... I will see if i can get a new one in. If there are any other things i could try in the meantime,please let me know . Regards, Steven

For me running well is that the sim is fluid and i can enjoy some of the new features that are in prepar3d,like the shadows etc. I do realize that i won't be able to run it at all sliders right,but i expected it to run smoother as i can run FSX at max and still get good/smooth frames. I know you can't really compare the 2,but i thought P3D would run smoother as it is a "fixed" FSX. As for putting in a new GFX card,i'd love to,but it has to pass the misses and you know what she'll say . Steven

Hi guys, I'm a new user to P3D V3 and having some difficulties setting it up to run well. My specs are: I7 3770k OC @4.5Ghz GFX660 TI 2Gb 8Gb RAM Win7 64bit I read through various threads containing settings,but am unable to find that sweet spot.

because i place my settings to high or am i missing something? It would be great if someone could give me a hand here as i really would like to ditch FSX and move on into this platform. Also,if you think i should make some hardware changes,please mention it or if you need any more info... Regards, Steven

Looking forward to it! Regards, Steven
