I use photoscenery extensively in P3D v3.3 and have no VAS issues but NL2000 does seem a hog as reported above (both FSX & P3D). I think there is some issue with scenery around Amsterdam that is the cause. I should add that my scenery sliders are fully to the right. Gordon P.S. Apart from freeware airports I do not use Orbyx. Only UTX and some freeware or low cost autogen.

Gregg I have PM' ed you. Gordon

Worst on-line questionnaire I have ever started to use. Lost patience and interest in it as well as Dovetail. PR disaster. Gordon

I have received no response from Mr Wave at Open Clouds..... looks like this is now dead in the water and no longer supported..... Took my money though. (thankfully not much). Only simple good manners to update a web site if you stop trading or get bored with the project. Gordon

Hello all, I have used the payware version of FSopen Clouds for some years. Of late it is causing P3D 3.2.3 to CTD when an airport anywhere North of Hamberg and East of Berlin is selected. Elsewhere in the world it works as expected (i.e. Wesern Europe and Alaska). I have installed AoN and SWD scenery for Scandinavia but the CTD's happen with or without scenery activation. I have emailed Dave Wave twice and posted to the FSopen forum which despite previewing and being submitted OK is not showing in the forum. Has FSopen stopped trading? Anybody have an handle on why Scandinavia area causing a CTD. Any information gratefully received. Thanks and regards Gordon

Me too. Paris looks amazing but is it photoreal or generic autogen or is it both i.e. photoreal 3D. Looks like the latter (would be nice). I have Earth Simulations Isle of Man which has photoreal 3D and at full settings it does hammer the FPS. I also agree with your comment about a confusing product line up. A revision of the web site making things clearer and better descriptions would help. Gordon

Have looked at the product several times but price and the small size of each package put me off. Perhaps for those living in France it is a more attractive business proposition. Gordon

+1 And you can easily switch off scenery not being used in a flight. Gordon

Very informative, thank you Westman. Gordon

I use a second touchscreen monitor for the GPS, using FSX preview DX10 this screen goes blank and FSX locks up with a cursor endlessly spinning. Does Steve's Fixer stop this? Is there a way round the problem? Reading this thread it seems a lot of you use DX10 so are we comparing an enhanced FSX against a standard P3D? It was that P3D had the hope of DX10 performance with multiple screens that caused my purchase of V1 in the first place (not sure if Steves Fixer was around then). Just curious, Gordon

I was luke warm about P3D until I upgraded to a GTX 970 then I understood why from day 1 Lockheed have said get the best video card you can afford. It would be interesting to see if those having issues with P3D have older GPU My rig is OC 2700K ssd and GTX970 I run scenery slders at max (exluding water and ai), photo scenery and treescapes, Flying GA it is locked at 30fps. Use 3 Saitek panels and 4 usb boards to control switches and rotaries. FPS doesn't drop often, only Earth Siumulations Isle Of Man nails it but that is insane scenery especially when flying along the beach checking out the hotels!. Very heavy clouds DO affect the system. (I do not use NI and the AA settings are all nearly at max within P3D) I also use GTN750 gps which is excellent. Occasionally get a stutter but I think this is either autosave on FSUIPC or other non P3D cause. Otherwise generally smooth.Certainly not an issue for me. Do I use FSX (it is on my computer) No, I have simply moved on. Is it substantially better than FSX to justify the change over cost, IMHO not if you don't have a spanking GPU. Will I be in a hurry for P3D 64bit, er...no, too much payware scenery Gordon

All good here too. Win10 & P3D 2.5 Gordon

Rarely use this simulation now..... Always have had real difficulty in landing the nose wheel gently. I understand that the T tail causes the nose wheel to lower quickly and is a feature of this aircraft, but it just seems that as soon as the main gear touches the front wheel slams down. OK it might be just my duff landings but I don't have the same issue with other Carenado offerings. In all other respects its OK although the guage resolution by todays HD standards is only fairly good. Gordon

Factory Fresh please. Having bought new software I want it to look lthe same. Gordon

Hello all, I live near EGXY which is used for practice runs for the Waddington airshow etc. For the past three days a Spitfire has been showing up and been doing circuits. Today the pilot must had a good breakfast as he/she is really beating up the main runway and doing steep turns at either end. To hear the Merlin engine (can't mistake it) look out of the window and see a Spitfire in plan view as it does a steep turn is quite something. Thought I'd share my good fortune. Gordon
