    Time is the key to it. WHY?

    Let us make here a situation..

     PMDGs last product in line will be the 777 ,747V2 and DC-6. What After that ?NO more development?

    They don't have any new aircrafts to make(May be they complete the past boeings like 767s/757s)   & the new ones cannot be made due to these limits.

    Nobody would want utmost company like PMDG to close.. They are the reason why people do Hardcore simming

     

    I remember the times when features that were said impossible 5-6 years ago are now made possible.Example totally a different FBW systems working independently,ENGs  ,WXR. working independently outside FSX.

    Where there is a will, there will be a way.

    PMDG is giving us the best you can get. But they have their hands full with what they're good at.

     

    QualityWings has the Dreamliner in development since several years. Keep an eye on their (public?) Facebook page or pay them a visit on their site.

    So does that mean that in future if all the boeing planes start to come with EFBs(which indeed will happen) than PMDG will not develop it? Just because it is all on glass and impossible to code within limits?

    Hello PMDG ,

     

    First of all I would like to wish you all the best for the upcoming 747 V2. Which I am sure will be a blast!

     

    However,

    I am really really anticipated for PMDG 787 Dreamliner ! It will be my dream come true to see the product from PMDG itself!

     

    Is this aircraft considered for further development after V2 or DC6?

    So what I understand is if I upgrade my 2600K 4.1 to a 6700K I would only get an extra 4 FPS?

     

    I am trying to justify spending 2,000 on an upgrade but not for just 4 FPS.  Can anybody else verify.

     

    I am running with the NGX into  KLAX (fsdt) and FTX Global with very dense AG about 21-24 fps on approach while in the air at crusie I get 40-60 fps.  This is with a Nvidia 970.

     

     

    Should I hold off on the upgrade?

    1. Per generation, Intel CPU's offer between 5-10% more performance with the same clock speeds. For FSX/P3D I guess you would be closer to 5% than 10%. This means, as a Skylake processor is the third generation after your Sandybridge CPU, you would have the same performance as you have now with an i7-2600K@4.2GHz with an i7-6700K running at 3.65GHz.

     

    2. In low FPS ranges as you already are, be aware that it needs high performance gains to really recognize any benefit. If you are running P3D at 20FPS now, an performance increase of 20% (which is a lot) only means 24FPS. Regarding the point 1., running an 6700K at 4.4GHz (should be easily possible) would give you more or less those 20% increased performance. Now it is up to you if you think spending money for a new CPU, RAM, mainboard and graphicscard is worth the 4FPS you will gain...

     

    3. I would NEVER buy a GTX-970. Sure, for FSX, the graphics card is not that important, but for P3D it is a little bit more essential. The GTX-970 has the problem, that actually only 3.5GB of the video RAM is full speed and 512MB is extremly slow. However, as P3D is still a 32bit software, most probably you will never run into those 512MB video ram, but still, I would not buy it.

     

    Taken together, I would strongly recommend Sidh here to first replace the GTX-680 with a novel card such as the GTX-980 or even the 980Ti. Only then, when you think that your performance with the 2600K is still not sufficient enough, I would consider replacing CPU, mainboard and RAM. Otherwise, you spend so much money at once without knowing properly if you will also benefit from it.

    I have The 6700k OC to 4.5. with Gigabyte 970, Z170MB and 32GB of ram. (plus a .M2 drive  - if your going z170 you should totally look at this.)

     

    I have ​come from a 2008/9 home build with an intel Celeronz D 3.0 with 4GB ram running FS9 and am blown away by the new PC performance.

     

    In stock mode I can see frames well over 150 using a stock plane, its completely blown me away in so many ways. 

     

    I should note that moving away from stock settings obviously has impact for me, iv played around with the sliders a little, but I still need to sit down and learn about these new things like FXAA, MSAA and Anisotropic ​actually mean.

     

    I am still too busy enjoying my new system and sim set up to worry about tweaking things at the moment.

    ​

     

    Happy Flying.

    Would getting 2 GTX 970 SLI be better than getting a Single GTX 980 ? Price will still be less.

     

    & Liam,

    Can you tell how does it perform with all the high end addons..?? are you getting 30 FPS locked ? (WITH REX4,ASN,UT,PMDG,AIRPORT ADDONS ETC) ??

    Hello everyone,

    I have spent countless money on FSX in hope of getting it smooth but could not.
    Since new P3D V3 looks promising I have decided to upgrade my current PC which is.:

     

    I7 2600K @ 4.2 Ghz

    GTX 680

    8GB DDR-III

    But with this PC that I currently have ,P3D fails to perform with High end addons like - PMDG,ASN,REX4.I get about 20 FPS and addons airports it's as less as 12-15 )

     

    So after watching youtube videos on new RIGs where P3D V3 performs much better

     

    My new Upgrad shall  be

     

    I7 4970K

    GTX980 (4GB)

    16GB RAM

     

    However I still  doubt if I upgrade , It(FPS) will not be siginificantly improved. I remember few months back when People used to say get i7 2600k series and its smooth as anything but No.

    Will the above requirements promise me to give @least 25-30 FPS LOCKED  with All high end addons & settings to High?I cannot composite visuals .

    Is having a Smooth NON LAGGY sim a myth?

    Low FPS -  Simulation experience ruined for me .

     

    Please help me out

    Thanks in Advance ... (People with same RIGs as above can guide me better or any one expert in it)

     

    Best regards

    Try reading through this thread on your issue.  http://forum.avsim.net/topic/404292-cursed-visualfxdll/

    charliearon I think I had some corrupt Day/Dusk/Night textures . That link helped me! Just reinstall REX textures:) Thanks a ton

     

    According to the AVSIM CTD Guide -

     

    Visualfx.dll – The visualfx.dll is used to display an FSX effect. An effect needed for an aircraft or scenery may not be located in the Effects folder and, when the effect is called by the program, it cannot be found and FSX crashes. The CTD occurs mostly with aircraft not properly installed and/or the default flight (shown in the [userinterface] Situation= line in your fsx.cfg) may be corrupted when a new default flight is set up. The solution in this case is to rename your fsx.cfg to fsx.orig, restart FSX and let the fsx.cfg rebuild. It has also been fixed by returning the default textures into the main texture folder. This can be done through a backup or conducting a FSX repair installation.

     

    Best regards,

    Thanks for info :). above step seems to have fixed :)

    I am getting strange FSX Fatal error on start up which is related to visualfx.dll . The strange part is it occurs on starting FSX and sometime it does not occur at all but that happens very rarely!

    I have tons of addons installed, I want to try everything not to do re-install that would take me a lot of time, Also my FSX was nicely setup! :mellow:

     

    I don't have any corrupt logbook

    I have deleted/refreshed FSX.cfg

    I have done FSX reg repair, I am using latest FSX accel pack.

    GPU drivers updated(GTX680 ,I7)

    I did not install any new addons

    I am using FTXG+Vector+ASN+REX4..Rest are addons of A/C

     

     

    If any help or suggestion to overcome this? Please let me know

    will be highly appreciated

     

    Thanks in advance

    Managed my first sucesfull flight with the T7 from any scenery to EGLL and ORBK ENGLAND from FNLU without OOM and still 800 meg in the bank. All sceneries disabled apart from origin and destination. Never been able to do this before SP1 without OOM. Was thinking even about being a bit cheeky and using my taxi cam but thought better of it.

    I use ENB+Sweetfx together!

    If ASN refreshes the weather and the cloud is no longer there out the front window, then yes it should be gone from the WXR display. Given that ASN works off real world weather data and updates from that data fairly regularly, you would more likely see the cloud gradually dissipate rather than just vanish.

    Thanks for reply my refresh time is 5 minutes
