My first experience is good with beta 6. Flew from EGNT to EGMC in the 172 with G1000. ORBX TE North,South and Central. No other addons active. FPS is up in the 60's to 80's in partial cloud. When the cloud became overcast, (using XP's own real world weather) the FPS dropped to 48 ish. No crashes. A very pleasurable experience. I deleted preferences and the vulkan shader cache as a starting point. Scenery max, texture max. No shadows or reflections, 4xMSAA/FXAA (one notch down from max) HDR one notch down from max. I need to try a higher altitude flight in the IXEG 737 to see if the scenery tear issue has gone from earlier beta's Stu

Glad to hear!

There is a new version 1.1.6.0427 available. I was alerted to it this morning when booting P3Dv4.5 Stu

Me too. CH Pro pedals. No problem with P3Dv4.5 HF3. The calibration screen in V5 takes you to the windows calibration. This wasn't the case in v4.5. You cannot calibrate the pedals properly. The cal asks you to press a button on the controller, which you cannot. The pedals don't have buttons. You have to press 'next' in the cal window, to get throught the calibration. The upshot of this is when you test your brakes, the crosshair suddenly jumps to half way across the calibration test screen before operatiing smoothly. This manifests in the sim as a braking glitch, almost like the brakes begin at half power. I tried using the CH manager, this lets you calibrate the pedals properly but it screws up the calibration in xPlane, so I had to uninstall it. If you haven't got Xplane, try the ch manager to calibrate your pedals, it may just work for you. Stu

I think all you can do for now is turn the saturation slider down I have mine at 0.8 but it will obviously go much lower Stu

Lock the frame rate to 30FPS in the sim. You'll find the textures keep up and load. If you fly low and very fast. though, you may still get blurring. Stu

I think you already have a registry entry for it, then. That's basically why my install is complaining....... Stu

Yep, me too. Install appears to be ok. The sim doesn't detect it in the addons. I don't get the 'Enable addon' option when I boot the sim. So, at least I'm installing it the same way as you. Do you have a previous install of the aircraft in P3dv4? I didn't and it complains about not being able to find the FSX reg entry. Hopefully someone can advise of a work around. Thanks very much for your help so far. Stu

Yes, that's what I'm using. But all the sim install options are greyed out. So where do I install it too when I choose a folder location? Installing it into p3dv5 addons doesn't work. It is not present in the aircraft list in p3dv5? Stu

I tried to install this to P3Dv5 and the installer versions fsx through p3dv4 are greyed out. I have totally uninstalled v4, so do you know how I install it direct to v5? If I press next through the installer to choose a folder location, then choose p3dv5 addons, it appears to install but I get lots of errors when I try to save the config panel settings. It's moaning about not finding the FSX registry and various other files. Any help would be greatly welcomed Stu

I think it was virtual address space rather than the RAM itself. Either way, it is not good if we now have a different flavour of OOM's with a new sim! Stu

Stephen released an update to 6.07.01 to Opus for P3Dv5 After install he recommends running the PDK setup.exe. Good to know it already worked, though Stu

Your 1080 GTX has 8GB of VRAM Stu
