X-Plane-User new to P3D!
P3D and FSX both seemed to benefit greatly from clock speeds over 4.0ghz. I find mild overclocks from 4.1ghz to 4.30ghz help P3D and don't cause problems with other software I run. K

Help With A Good Scenery Design Program
This is free....works great. http://www.scruffyduck.org/airport-design-editor/4584106799 If you mean build your own scenery objects....that's a whole different ballgame with a steep learning curve. But it's been GMax for most people although I understand Blender objects can be converted now. CK

P3d Regrets
No regrets at all. As a matter of fact I have FSX on a WD Raptor drive....I am thinking of formatting the drive as I can't remember the last time I ran FSX. CK

Update to Windows 10, good idea?
I used GWX Control Panel on my P3D box.....it will stay Win7 until hell freezes over. I have Win10 on 2 laptops....it's ok. I turned off all the "spyware" and there are apps to shut down the telemetry to the mothership. :-) CK

Aeroplane Heaven Electra 10 quick review!
I bought the AH B-17 and quite like it but what has impressed me the most is AH's support. It's about 2 months after release and we are up to version 1.2. Bug fixes and improvements. I like that in a developer. FaxCap

TVs as P3D monitors
FaxCap replied to FaxCap's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcOk guys....thanks for the input....you've given me a lot of info to work with. Another question....I keep reading about HDMI "lag" and to use the DVI Input if a TV has them. Many of the TV manuals mention connecting a computer to your TV but those without DVI inputs say to use a DVI to HDMI cable. Will that still cause a lag or is the lag a product of the computer output?? Not that many TVs with DVI inputs on the market. Thanks again! Ken

TVs as P3D monitors
I asked in the hardware>monitor section but got zero replies. A question about TVs as a P3D monitor. I take it modern LED TVs have a "fast enough" response time for sim display? I'm a retired guy so a $1500 TV is out of the question for gaming. But after saying that I see some brand name 32" to 40" TVs at great sale prices. What specs on a TV am I looking for as a P3D monitor? Right now I am using a nVidia 680 but am looking at a 970. Thanks Ken

P3D 3.0 Speculation & General Nonsense
My point was at 30+ mill a pop the visuals outside the cockpit were VERY basic. It's all about realism and these guys do hand fly these aircraft often. I just watched a video of a KLM 747-400F being hand flown and landed by the co-pilot. He was using visual points making his turns. If your points stood then 787 sims would still have FS2000 visuals. They don't....they are much more real now.

P3D 3.0 Speculation & General Nonsense
Funny you should mention that....I was in the 767-200ER SIM at CYVR.....the graphics were about FS200 level. I remember thinking my FSX graphics are much better than this. :smile: FaxCap

FSX Vs P3D, how good idea is it?
I am finished with FSX......I will never use it again.....when I finally get my buddy to buy P3D I will remove FSX from my system. Your hardware will run P3D easily. FaxCap

Graphics card suggestions.
I would also like to back EVGA! Back their warranty better than anyone. Great to deal with. As for overclocking, I have a 3770K. I started out running it at 4.6ghz but had a few crashes. Backed it off to around 4.75ghz and it's stable as a rock. FaxCap
