As carlito777 has pointed out, for FSX/P3DV1 installers, you are better off installing them manually (please refer to the article posted in this thread) as other tools will emulate FSX and thus install the FSX version. For FSX-only installers, you may use migration tools.

Mind you, VSR is currently limited to R9 285 and above with support for other R9 models coming 2015.

A few pictures or a video with rain effects from VC would be greatly appreciated. Thinking about getting this but I want to see what it looks like in P3D first. Thanks!

Unless your card was faulty, it's not the GPU. It's likely the settings and incompatible addons. For example, I've been able to replicate single digit fps scenarios with incompatible and badly optimized addons (like the Carenado Phenom). Simply stay away from those. With A2A C172 and Orbx scenery, I'm getting 60+ fps if I turn off the limiter (I usually fly with it locked at 30) on a R9. The AMD criticism is not at all warranted.

I haven't touched the LOD so it's set at the default (LOD_RADIUS=6.500000)

It's running fine on my end (R9 280/7950). Latest stable drivers.

Second Test Flight EETN-EKCH-EIDW-EGHI (non-stop) Addons used: * FTX England * FTX Global * FTX Global Vector * FS Global Ultimate Europe/Africa * Drzewiecki Design Tallinn X * FlyTampa Copenhagen Kastrup International * Aerosoft Mega Airport Dublin * FTX Southampton Airport * Aerosoft A319 * Ultimate Traffic 2 (65%/15%) * REX 4 Texture Direct (1024 textures, dxt1/5, non-HDR textures. Everything installed) * OpusFSI No scenery was disabled. No OOM, no warnings. I would say Prepar3d is pretty darn stable.

Test Flight (EKCH-ENGM) Setup: i5 4670K @4.9GHz (3.4GHz) R9 280 (non-X) 3GB @1150/1550MHz (980/1350MHz) - equivalent to a stock 770 16GB RAM @2133MHz 1920x1080 Settings: Locked at 30 FPS. HDR enabled, Volumetric fog disabled (no impact on my system but I don't care much for it), Cloud density set to Medium and 70 miles, Object shadows set to 6K (plenty), Shadow quality set to Low (sounds horrible but still looks good), Terrain and Cloud shadows set to 0 (but enabled), Interior and Exterior Vehicle set to Cast and Receive. Water reflections set to standard. Scenery complexity set to Extremely Dense. Autogen vegetation density set to Dense, Autogen building density set to Normal. Everything else has been set to maximum. Prepar3d.cfg: [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=16 [Main] AlwaysFullLoad=1 AM=16 works wonders on my system. Perfectly balanced and nets a nice gain of 4-5 FPS under severe weather conditions and airports like EGLL (Aerosoft). There is no change in FPS if not under full load (not related to the above AlwaysFullLoad=1) Addons: FTX Global FTX Global Vector (everything enabled during this test flight) REX 4 Texture Direct (1024 textures, dxt1/5, non-HDR textures. Everything installed, including clouds) FlyTampa Copenhagen Kastrup International (everything enabled (including Copenhagen City .bgl), all jetways and using updated AFCAD, 1024 textures - non HIRES) Aerosoft Mega Airport Oslo V2.04 (everything enabled) Ultimate Traffic 2 (the ENTIRE section under the Traffic tab in P3D has been set to either 0 or disabled. Everything. Inside UT2, Display Traffic is set to 65% and 15% (airlines and ga) Aerosoft A318/A319 (I used the A319 for the flight) OpusFSI FS Global Ultimate is currently uninstalled. I will install it this weekend and do another flight to see if it makes a difference. Result EKCH: 28.2 FPS (average, recorded) from gate through initial climb. Weather condition: Overcast ENGM: 25.7 FPS from approach to gate. Weather condition: Heavy snow Locked at 30 FPS inbetween and no VAS issues whatsoever. No alerts from FSUIPC either. I've also successfully completed multiple flights from EKCH to LOWW with Aerosoft's Brandenburg enabled. I never thought I would come to love P3D but weeks of meticulous tests and refusing to give up, it's now performing better than FSX ever did and with far better visuals to boot. I'm impressed with what LM has done so far and very much look forward to the next patch! Do yourself a favor, temper your expectations and keep your settings in check and I see no reason why you would run out of VAS all the time. Don't max the settings out just because, take your time and find that sweet spot. It's well worth it.

Looks good.I have no interest in T7-200/LR, however. That being said, I am eagerly awaiting PMDG T7-300ER. Instant purchase!

Hi John,Thank you for the quick response.I've managed to solve the problem with VHHX. It was indeed a scenery related problem.Still cannot get RC4 to show 10/28 at TNCM though. What I've tried so far:1) Downloaded the latest makerwys from Dowson and replaced the older one in FS root.2) Replaced 09/27 with 10/28 (under TNCM only) in Runways.txt and runways.xml.Obviously the files above are merely just references created from another source file, however, I have no idea where to look. You mentioned something about scenery?

Happy customer right here, however, I have a couple of questions..1) How do I change the rwy designator for TNCM from 09/27 to 10/28?2) How do I change/update i4.csv and n4.csv to AIRAC 1002?3) How do I add VHHX (Kai-Tak/FlyTampa scenery)? (scenery db rebuilt, still no luck)Thanks in advance(Order Number : U720473601)
