  1. I was going to get the PMDG 747 for P3D when released. I may just pass that and get this instead. Haven't a clue about Airbus aircraft. All I've flown are the LDS767, PMDG 737 old and new (FSX), PMDG 747 old (obviously) (FSX).

    Maybe this is the aircraft to jump to next.

    In tandem with the A2Sim videos it looks like a winner.

    Just need to tear myself away from NMS

  2. I bought the upgrade to AS16 but I'm keeping my HDE clouds with NickN's settings. Nothing I've seen comes close. All these cloud texture products all look too cartoonish and clean and I own them all apart from the new ASCA.

     

    I think it's getting silly with all these cloud textures. Can anyone honestly say that they can tell the difference between all the cloud textures released over the last 10 years, freeware or payware, if random sets were installed?

  3. Would you be open to sharing your settings, that eliminate this problem?

     

    P3D v3.2 on Win 7 64, i7 3770k @ 4.2, Asus Strix GTX 980Ti running 368.22

     

    In Nivida Inspector - All default settings except AA mode - Enhance, Transparency Supersampling - 4x Sparse Grid, Power Management - Maximum

     

    In P3D - Image and Texture Quality , FSAA - Off, MSAA - 4 Samples, Texture Filtering Anisotropic 4x, Texture Resolution - High, Vsync - Off, Frame Rate - Unlimited, Tessellation - Enabled

  4. Scenery shimmering is barely noticeable now, with 3.2 any ORBX stuff shimmered like mad. That is most noticeable for me.

     

    Won't have been 3.2 causing the shimmering. I run ORBX scenery exclusively in 3.2 and I've never ran a simulator over the last 12yrs of simming that has performed or looked as good as it does now.

  5. How long have you left the windows update running? On my last Win 7 install a few months ago it took around 3 hours before it gave me a list of the updates.

     

    Have you thought about downloading the Win 8.1 ISO from microsoft site and doing a clean install and then upgrading to Win 10?

  6. I went from a 670 to a 980Ti running on a Dell Ultrawide 34 @ 3440 x 1440.

     

    In P3D when displaying any amount of clouds it was pretty much a slideshow. Now I have 40 fps + on full overcast, smooth as anything with 4x sparse grid sampling or whatever it is.

     

    If you don't want to pay for the 1080 a 980Ti would be a massive improvement plus you can save some cash as there are some good deals to be had on the 980 series.

     

    Using GPU-Z my 980Ti memory isn't even above 25% utilised so there's plenty of headroom yet for memory load. I'd say the new Pascal would be overkill for a setup similar to mine.

  7. Paladin,

     

    I purchased on Ebay on a reverse buy it now auction. It started at a fixed price and reduced by £10 every hour until it sold. There were quite a few from the same seller.

    I've looked now and he's not selling anymore so I assume they're all gone.

     

    I recommend keeping an eye on Ebay. There have been quite a few selling around £400 brand new from genuine sellers. The same card is £530 + in computer stores.

  8. With all the hype around these cards and the 980ti cards starting to fall I couldn't resist purchasing an Asus Strix 980Ti for £370 brand new.

    A much better card than my current 670 and probably half the price of the assumed price of the 1080 that we in the UK get ripped off for.

     

    When the Ti version comes out of Pascal I can put my 980Ti into my gaming rig so its a good longterm investment.

     

    Saved £200 compared to buying it earlier this year.

     

    Worth bearing the 980's in mind too if you're coming from 600 series or less.

  9. Are you using Steam edition?

     

    I had a similar problem yesterday but in full screen.The clickspots just disappeared completely. Switching camera views and between full and windowed didn't restore them.

     

    Ended up shutting everything down and restarting. I then completed a flight from KSEA to KSFO fine.

     

    Never had that issue before with FSX. I've only flown several flights within FSX-SE so wondering if its related to the Steam version?

  10. no, but "and the OOM message popped up" does...doncha think?

     

    Chas

     

    Oh dear.

     

    I find the defendant guilty and the sentence passed shall be one of having to perform a perfect landing.

     

    Using the NGX with an engine out, full electrical failure, heavy cross winds, an uncalibrated flight yoke and a 'to be consumed during takeoff' box of laxatives.

     

    Let the game begin.
