  1. Can also confirm it is not an issue, I use an XBox controller for camera and drone control views (as I don't like them on a flight controller) alongside TrackIR and Warthog controllers, TPR pedals and the Honeycomb Yoke all work fine.
  2. Gabe777 I accept all that you say in your second comment, however in my own pedantic way I have to point out your comment too which I specifically replied named MSFS not the other 3 sim versions you later included. Cheers.
  3. All the best with it - a lot of fun and enjoyment ahead. Though I think you are like a lot of us, enough is never enough once you are hooked. I went from a CRT to 1 HD LED screen to triple screens then to triple 2k screens and now a 4k + panel monitors I find is the best for me. Grabbing the 3rd wire on the Nimitz with the Hornet is just the duck's guts as we say. I can wait till its perfect in VR and I'll make that move. Every new bit of sim software I buy makes me want to crank the satisfaction dial another notch. I am yet to find some spare FPS, it is all used - good luck (though I know what you mean).
  4. Absolutely or you will choose to crank all the settings off the dial and still get 30-40 fps. A better GPU and and system always gives you more options if the system was previously under load.
  5. Very surprised at the last phrase in the above statement - my i9-7900X is running at 4.9GHZ on all cores and is loafing at about 40% and the 1080Ti is at 100% usage 99% of the time (but no DXGI or CTD errors) runs smooth as silk live and I only get some slight hesitations when recording (with geforce). The only other issue I have had is scenery updating online and would really like to find out how rolling and manual cache screw up the experience ie when does it work correctly and how does one know? This imo is the biggest can of worms with the sim at the moment after 3 weeks of testing different profiles on my machine I have tried up to 500GB for each cache (2TB nvme) with awful results loading and flying online (going off topic sorry). The other 3 flight sims on my machine are better balanced for core - GPU loads imo but that is irrelevant if they all work and give you the results. spot on imo but also a fairly obvious conclusion for any graphics intensive software.
  6. Ha ha I had to laugh at this - it is valid in some ways, but also it is like comparing a DIY men's shed to Engineering School.
  7. Well done Rob, v5 is also a big step forward in my experience with Prepar3d. Of course you don't need to prove anything nor will you stop the knockers who will want to prove they can do a better job of breaking P3D. Enjoy your flying, I certainly am.
  8. More than that: Super vs Ti = Memory bandwidth 496Gb/s vs 616 Gb/s, Cuda cores 3072 vs 4352, 256 vs 354 bit memory interface. The 11GB is only part of the story, the 616 Gb/s bandwidth is I believe also a reason why many 2080 Ti owners are happy. That performance along with what DX12 brings has helped a lot of CPUs. The load between GPU and CPU is much more balanced now. As seen elsewhere the posts on 3090Ti rumours are looking for 40% improvement on 2080Ti and if Big Navi and RDNA2 live up to the hype for AMD they will hopefully and finally start to put some downward pressure on the nVidia gravy train. Both AMD & nVidia are playing the release date game at the moment each waiting for the other to draw first. If you are serious about simming the best performing graphics card you can afford at the time is always the right purchasing decision imo.
  9. Happens frequently with new updates that have not been verified by various anti virus companies. Just approve it as a trusted program in your AV software settings.
  10. Seems like my info is out of date Rob, thanks for the correction. My focus has been on DP mainly because of it bandwidth capacity iirc its around 78Gb/sec for v2 (which will go over 60FPS without compression) and hadn't picked up on the uprating of HDMI at 8K @ 30FPS. Cheers
  11. This is a good question however I think it is limited because individual specs come into play - One for example is Free Sync being available and that only working through HDMI or Display Port and an appropriate graphics card. There is some argument in the technical circles/forums that Display Port gives better functionality for multiple monitors and adaptive sync. If you can (wish to) drive 8K you can only do that over Display Port (v1.4) so for the future flight sim that may well be the way to go. I have only glimpsed one article in the 100s about the new 3000 series Nvidia card (and it was only 1 line at that) that mentioned the 3080Ti as being the first card capable of sustained 8K. My 4k is on Display Port and the 2k(portrait mode) is on HDMI simply because rotating the screen caused the DP to be in a bugger of a location.
  12. The power of LNM is quite astounding for a freebie, I have used it for years and every so often it would get updated with another great piece of functionality. Suggest you read their detailed description and surprise yourself, it is only page and you will soon know how much it can do and yes it will decode weather from many sources. Has good manuals imo. https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmap.html
  13. Glad it worked out. Not that there is any doubt about Noctua coolers as I said in my earlier post. You have made the investment and in a fairly clean home it will outlast several PCs. Just pack up the stock cooler for when you upgrade and sell the current machine.
  14. x I installed yesterday and put it into my main (external) ORBX library. Working well 4 me.
  15. You can turn the traffic off in the Vector config. Highway, primary and secondary road traffic is active in the default setup and will apply the P3D traffic % settings to each category, as I understand it.
  16. Worth a try it is a simple test, but I suspect your stock Ryzen cooler is now the major issue. Depending on your budget any brand name tower cooler with two fans is a major improvement over the stock Ryzen cooler. Noctua is the standard by which all other air coolers are judged, if you can afford the biggest that will go in (not knowing your case) look at the NH-D14 and you can't go wrong it will also outlast several systems, you can transfer it to a new PC later as Noctua will provide mounts for free (plus postage). This is old but very relevant for your situation https://premiumbuilds.com/cpu-coolers/best-cpu-coolers-for-ryzen-5-3600/
  17. No, but you need to move out as much air as comes in, if you have no exhaust fans that is a major issue. Otherwise you are just pressurising (slightly) your case with the intake air that is heated by both the CPU and GPU and then can't escape.
  18. Except they state that it fixes two major issues - 1. airport elevations and 2. Duplicate airports because of ICAO codes. Enough in itself to load up the free upgrade for existing owners/users.
  19. The temps are ok for Ryzen. A comparison temp could be obtained by running Cinebench R2.0 benchtest or 30 minutes. My target would be 75C max if it climbs higher than 75 quickly in the first few minutes then you need to assess your systems cooling capacity. The standard cooler on Ryzen is OK for "standard" tasks, flying a sim is considered a heavy load and you are doing it as you say for 4-5 hours, maybe your case setup +standard cooler is not helping airflow. I personally would not want to see my CPUs at 80C for 4 to 5 hours (AMD or Intel). It will continue to work but the other thing high temp does is shorten the working life of the silicon.From my sig you can see I run a 12 core 3900X in my workload system. It uses a 280mm Corsair AIO cooler and only approaches 75C momentarily under load test. P3D flying it rarely cracks 60-62C over 2-3 hours. What is the ambient temp? your 35C is fine I consider 45C at true idle too hot for a stock 3600X in a well ventilated case. Make sure your use of 3rd party monitoring programs is minimised (preferably eliminated) whilst in sim. In regard to your idle temp is it fluctuating in regular patterns? I ask because there are a number of monitoring programs which probe the core sensors to extract info such as loads and temps. Ryzen reads this as activity on the core and speeds up (milliseconds wise) to respond to the request thus causing temps to rise briefly. Some board mfrs provided updated bios to attempt to address that behaviour. IIRC Hardware info was one of the big culprits but there are others. No need for monitoring software to be running in sim if you have properly confirmed your machine is stable beforehand. Assuming you have a reasonable quality mobo with your Ryzen CPU, it can and will start to throttle automatically if temps rise too high, temp frequency and voltage can be easily viewed in Hardware info when load testing with appropriate programs (eg Cinebench and Prime 95). Another factor with most mobos today is that if you use their supplied auto overclock (eg 1 click OC) they invariably over volt by sometimes big margins which creates unnecessary heat. Any system that gets too hot (consistently averaging 80C or over) running P3D is not properly specced and tuned for the load created with the sim + any number of addon programs - in my humble opinion.
  20. Just some comments - don't know if they will be helpful and you probably have covered them already. 1. If you have Chaseplane working and linked to Tir and then turning CP off it will stop Tir working in P3D at least it does on my install. 2. Is Chaseplane updating ok thru ORBX ok? Where you running experimental or release version of CP suggest release ver. 3. When you open Tir are you checking the game updates in the top right corner, there was an update a couple of weeks ago. There was not much detail to it but it made my instances of TIR work better with 2004. 4. All else fails go to the Chaseplane forum on avsim. Don't know if Kevin Menard still responds since ORBX became involved but Kevin's support was second to none for a long time. 5. The Track Ir support forum is also usually helpful in my experience.
  21. How did you fix your DGXI errors with a $1200 video card?
  22. Hi George, did you install as part of MSI Afterburner? If so I suggest you uninstall MSI AB first and then RTSS. That would be my starting point, then if you haven't installed that way - I would check the Win services/processes in Task Manager and kill any related services that may be running even though you have closed RTSS at the desktop. In the old days (last century) we called programs like Rivatuner a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program. Far too many of them in Win 10 for my liking.
  23. Really? If they are a scam then heaven help us if they do what you suggest because they would be as slow as the CPU performance when someone puts dodgy ram in their mobo. Imagine two varieties of ram instead of one that can be chosen by the user. Oh and by way of comparison top line GPUs already smash CPUs for compute functions. If you hadn't noticed GPUs are at least one generation of Ram ahead of CPUs.
  24. I thought Noel explained with clarity why he wanted to try it. Obviously making a user error in setup can still occur regardless of how well the sim is performing and I understood from his statement he wanted FFTF to help him avoid that specific circumstance.
  25. IMO the answer is no - based on a modern Intel CPU (i7-i9) running 1909 based on my experience with a 7900X against a 3900X and the move from v4.5 to v5 plus also this explanatory article which no doubt many of you are already aware of: https://www.windowslatest.com/2019/09/30/windows-10-version-1909-favored-cores-and-performance/
