I’m happy that PMDG decided to offer the upgrade for free as I think they make great products. However, with the 777 I’ve always experienced the bug (or whatever you want to call it) where the plane can’t decide if it is on the ground during landing. The thrust reversers cycle on and off numerous times during touchdown. Had it in P3D v4 and it’s still there in v5, I was hoping it would be fixed. I’ve tried turning off high idle flare as suggested in their forums and still does it. Never had an issue with the 747 or 737. Just kills the immersion for me when I can barely stop in enough time to make the last turn off of a long runway so I think I’m gonna keep this one parked in the hangar.

Hey guys, I just stumbled upon RTSS. I've only done a couple of flights so far but I like what I see. I tried the FPS limiter on RTSS but wasn't to my liking so I tried the Scanline Sync x/2 option, which I do like. My question is what are people inputting for a value for that? I've seen things such as -30, -1, 1, 60... etc. My monitor is 60hz, running unlimited frames, vsync off, TB, off. Is there a best setting or is it YMMV?

What mine does is goes brighter than back to the normal color real quick. It doesn't affect the whole screen. You can kind of see what I'm talking about here starting around the 2:55 mark. I've never been able to get P3D to work with GSYNC, it's always flickered for me so I've always disabled it. A Couple people in this post don't seem to have that problem with the latest driver but it's still there for me. Unfortunately the only option for my monitor is 60hz, mine has no other options.

Are you not getting the G-Sync flicker? I tried the latest driver but the G-Sync flicker is still there for me so I turned it back off.

Last I read they weren't accepted any more beta testers. Maybe that has changed though.

I saw some where about smartCARS by TFDI. It looks similar to projectfly but you have to pay for it. Reading through the website it seems like the primary focus is virtual airlines but maybe some one who uses it could give some more info. Dan

Whew, I'm not the only one. I thought I messed up by forgetting to back up the original shaders as I'm getting the same error. If I'm not mistaken, I believe updating reinstalls default shaders so I think we should be good. I'm going to wait and see if TomatoShade gets updated before messing around anymore. Dan

Does anyone know how to uninstall Global? I migrated when the new version came out and I want to install it back into the main P3D folder. The old Orbx Central used to let you uninstall through the app but with the new version there isn't an option for this. Can I just deleted the global folder or am I SOL? Dan

Awesome, thank you, I will try this. I guess I should’ve mentioned that I have hyper threading off. Maybe I’ll try both, keeping addons off core 0 and off cores 0/1. Thanks again.

Not to hijack the thread but how did you find the affinity to set the addons? I have a 9900k do I use the Gatwick affinity mask calculator and choose all cores other than zero to get the affinity for addons or do you use something else?

Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of P3D and I'm seeing some issues of textures where they look completely mismatched and don't belong together. These photos are taken outside of LAS. I have ORBX Global, openLC North America, and FlyTampa LAS installed so I don't know which one might be causing the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this so the scenery looks like its supposed to go together and no just random scenery tiles put together? Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/pu9dLqD Thanks, Dan

This may be a stupid question but is this addon, along with the upcoming Orbx version, just texture replacements or do they also add more houses, buildings, etc. to the sim? I didn’t read anything about that.

I'm just trying to make sure I understand correctly here. I'm interested in getting some MSE especially since it's half off. I currently am using ORBX Global, Vector, open LC North American, NA Southern, and NA Northern California. If I wanted to use the MSE scenery for this area, should I disable the NA Northern/Southern California Sceneries? Thanks, Dan

I'm interested in this too. I saw a video on YouTube that if your monitor is G-SYNC capable that you should leave VSync turned off. I'm far from an expert so I don't really know if that's the right call or not but I'd be interested to hear what more knowledgeable people have to say. I also don't know if it's something to do with G-SYNC but no matter what I do, if I limit my frames (in game or via NVidia inspector) the game just isn't fluid. I also get micro stutters, especially while panning around. Dan

Dave, I remembered after I posted this that I had added that FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.01 tweak to my cfg. I then decided to remove it and see if that was the cause. I did a flight from LGA to FLL and upon arrival my textures were the same as I departed, no blurries. That was only one flight after removing that so maybe I got lucky. I'll have to try and do some more flights to see if it fixed it. Dan

I've never seen this tweak before, will give it a try. Thanks! I'm using Orbx Global Base, openLC North America, and Vector. FPS limited to 30 by the game slider, not from NVidia inspector. I'll take a look at your settings and see if that helps. Thanks! Dan

Hello all, I've been having issues lately with blurry ground textures upon descent and arrival into my destination. I've been using the FSLabs A320 almost exclusively and didn't remember the problem before but I've been doing some longer flights lately. I think my system is decent but my specs are i7-7700k, 32 GB ram, GTX 1080, m.2 SSD. I'm using the normal add-ons... Orbx, Active Sky+Cloud Art. Now I'm curious if this is a VRAM issue or something else? I know there is a lot more knowledge than I have around this forum and would appreciate any feedback. I've taken pictures to show what I mean: Before/After Photos Thanks, Dan

Are these compatible with ORBX FTX Global? Also what's the difference between the FS Global 2018 and Next Generation?

I used IE, works now. Thanks!

Thank you for your work! I don't know if its just on my end but clicking the link to your website just plays your into video and never takes me to your web site to download. Not sure if its something on my end.

Hello all, I'm trying to come up with a solution for my ever expanding collection of flight sim add-ons, scenery, aircraft, etc. I recently started flying in X-Plane as well as Prepar3d. My love of Orthro4XP has really put a bottle neck on the available space I have available on my present SSD. I was thinking of using a SSD for each simulator. I currently have a SDD as my main hard drive, it has my Windows 10 install along with all games. I also have a regular HDD that I use for storage only. My question is, would I still see the better loading benefits if I changed my storage HDD to be my Windows 10 and other games hard drive, then used one SSD for X-Plane and another SSD for Prepar3d. I know my windows boot time would increase but I'm not really worried about that. Are there any cons to doing it this way? Thanks, Dan

Being relatively new to the X-Plane world, I'm a little confused. I have some Ortho4XP tiles installed in my custom scenery folder. The scenery update says I have 47GB worth of scenery to update. I'm curious if I were to download the scenery update, would it replace, overwrite, delete, or cause my Ortho4XP tiles not to work or be present any longer? Does it update something else that would have no effect on my current Ortho4XP, as I would like to keep the tiles I have. Dan

Does anyone know whether they did, or are going to, allow you to choose between KGs and LBs? Dan

Hey guys just doing a little window shopping right now for a possible new pc, just wanted to get some input whether or not this computer is worth the investment. Currently I am running FS9 but looking to switch to FSX sometime in the future. My current computer is an Intel E6750, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 8600 GTS. Thanks for the input.Dan

The Citation X v2.0 is my favorite bizjet in the sim, just wish there were more liveries avaliable for download. While the default ones are nice I would love to get a Netjets paint on it.Dan
