Hi I am just planning to make the leap from FSX to P3D V3 and after reading up on AVSIM for the last 3 nights I have come up with the following spec PC I am going to order from SCAN and had 3 questions below I was hoping for some help with. -Intel Core i7 6700K Quad Core with Hyper-threading Professionally overclocked to 4.6GHz -Asus Z170 Pro Gaming with Intel NIC and SupremeFX -16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 3000MHz -4GB EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX -2 x 250GB Samsung Evo SSD & 2TB HDD -750W Corsair RMi PSU -Microsoft Windows 7 pro 3440 x 1440 21:9 ultra-wide curved screen monitor Questions I have is 1 Do you think this would run the following add ons at a nice smooth 30 fps? FTX Global, Active Sky Next Rex 4 + Soft Clouds Traffic program PMDG 737 AND 777 Add-on airports UK2000, Aerosoft, FSDT, Fly Tampa ETC 2 Is the graphics card going to be up to the job of running the monitor at 3440 x 1440 or should I go for a 6GB card? 3 Am I better off going for a six core processor overclocked to 4.4 ghz? Any other advice appreciated Thanks in advance for any help Keithy

That's great thanks for everyones input.

That's great Vic thanks for the reply Much appreciated Separate drive it is then

I will be following your thread too I am currently speccing a system out for P3D and I would be fine with your list of add ons performing as you say

Hello Having used fsx for 7 years I'm going to go for p3d. Have been reading forums about this but can't determine definitive answer. I am going to buy a new pc to run P3D on and am wondering if people are getting better experience with a dedicated ssd just to run P3D? Thanks

Agree. PMDG retain my interest in FSX.

Hi Just wondering if anyone has any must do changes to FSDT airports for improved performance, Reason being is I normally fly around Europe with around 40 airports from UK2000, Aerosoft, FSDT and Fly Tampa which I generally get really good smooth performance with. So the other day I got an email from FSDT saying buy there new George Bush airport and get others 50% so I thought lets have some USA flying so decided to install there trials of some of the USA airports, which when I did my normal test of sitting on active runway in PMDG NGX with UT2 traffic loaded I was getting 30 FPS so I thought right lets buy them. So after trialling these Las Vegas, Chicago , Dallas Fort Worth and George Bush I decided to buy them all and then waited for Friday night to do some PMDG 777 Flying. Well after flying from Airport to Airport I am getting terrible performance on approach, low FPS and stutters etc which is in complete contrast of my experience of flying in to UK2000, Aerosft airports in Europe where I get great performance. Not trying to knock FSDT because they are great and the airports are great and all the forums say great performing airports so was just wondering if anyone has some must try actions to improve performance on these as I want to use them but the performance is putting me off my 4 new shiny airport purchases. Thanks in advance

Guys thanks for the suggestions. I see what you are saying, and about the CI yes I definitely match it to what I set it at in PFPX, in fact I do this because I originally watched Kyles video that explained to me how to use PFPX which made me buy PFPX and Kyle you emphasised then how important it is to get the same data picture which I took on board and have since applied. so yes I definitely match the CIs. Ill also try importing winds during cruise Interesting comment about the big fix too thanks Thanks

Hi Been using 777 and PFPX for a while now and there are a couple of things bugging me that I wondered if anyone had any ideas about please? 1) I use PFPX to plan the flight and as a simple example on a flight like HESH to OMDB Sharm el Sheikh to Dubai 1250 NM it says on my flight plan that when I reach my destination I will have 10 LB fuel left at my destination. When I then enter up all the details into the FMC of the 777 as well as importing wind data etc and matching climb profile to the same as in PFPX the FMC will typically predict a much higher EFOB at destination of something like 15 LB. However as I do my flight the FMC EFOB number gradually decreases over time until when I am near my destination it ends up typically around the same as PFPX predicted in this example 10. So my questions is what is going on, why does the FMC of my 777 always predict EFOB much higher (15 LB) before I depart than it will actually be when I arrive (10 LB)? 2) A common flight I do is HESH to OMDB Sharm el Sheik to Dubai . 1250 NM ish I always set PFX to step climb 2000 and leave the altitude cap the same as the service ceiling And when I first started using PFPX my flight plans included step climbs which the 777 also did during flight. Lately however it seems for 3 months or so my flight plans do not include any step climbs and nor is the 777 conducting any Anyone have any ideas why this has happened? I.e PFPX is not creating step climbs anymore? Thanks Lawrence

As with everyone else I am excited by this news and was just hoping someone could answer a question please. I currently use REX for Weather injection. After reading the above I now want to buy ASN But my question is everyone is talking about running ASN on a networked PC. I do not have a networked PC . Just a single PC that I am reasonably happy with for performance and I do not feel the need to buy another PC right now... but i do want ASN to experience the wx radar in my 777 Do I need to have a networked setup to run ASN? If not and I run ASN on my single PC what is the downside of doing that? Thanks Lawrence
