Hi all! Yesterday, I was coming into Montreal from Toronto City Centre and as I was going through the before landing checklist, the PNF (FS2crew) failed to bring the fuel levers to MAX. I then tried to bring the fuel levers to MAX, without avail. They wouldn't move. Is this a known bug? is there a reason why he didn't moved the fuel levers to MAX? Thanks!

Yes it does! When you come to think about it, most of the effects included in the package have never been done before in Flight Simulator X. The effects are not generic as in PrecipitFX, they are custom-made exclusively for the PMDG 777. I don't think therefore that it is pricey. The price is right for what you get imho, and certainly for the quality of effects you have.

Amazing video! :wub:

I just read through their 777 Immersion manual, and they say that the VAS footprint is really low! I haven't noticed any lost in performance so far, and the memory usage hasn't hiked either. Oh... and through the manual, they tell you when the effects can be displayed, so it's really helpful if you want to test them out, which I did. Anyways, I love the product so far!

Hi! First of all, thank you all for your feedback, we take much of all requests into consideration when we work on updates for PrecipitFX. Then, I also want to thank you for pointing this spelling mistake in our document! It is now fixed! Have a great day, Frederick ___________________________________ HR at FSFX Packages

It does indeed as far as I'm concern. In Canada anyways. @jalexb88 would this be Porter or AC Express? I'm trying to find the figure for Porter.

Hi folks! I get the same result as he has. Whenever the menu is displayed, I have fewer frames than when it isn't. I can see a 10-15FPS difference when I hide the menu bar. It was quite surprising at first. From that time onwards, I hid the bar whenever I use P3D V2. I posted this kind of "trick" in the tips and tricks section of the forum. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing, these are quite interesting to look at and compare! Cheers!

Perhaps I am less enraged vis-a-vis P3Dv2 or perhaps it is just luck but the five CTDs I had related to the menu did not happen again... for now! I know how frustrating that is... I couldn't get my mind around the fact that LM had done so much work in the sim without even stablizing the menus... <_< You might want to check the Aero Peek (and make sure it's off) as someone at LM told me it could perhaps be the source of the problem. For the time being, restart P3D, have a beer and... cheers! B)

When I disabled FXAA, this song began... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE-tne5U

These are the least forgiving addons on FSX and caused me too many OOMs in FSX. Now, if you take the greatness of P3Dv2 along with these three addons and the AI traffic and FTGx... hum... :rolleyes: :ph34r: someone is looking for deep fried OOMs hahaha!

100% agreed! I told myself the same thing earlier today as I flew in and around Montreal. I don't know if it has been updated or what not but it sure does look alike when I had GEX and UTX installed on FSX. One sure thing is that it does not look like default FSX with autogen maxed out, not in Montreal anyways. Moreover, the autogen looks sharper than before, seen from above but also the autogen in the distance.

So I heard some of you were interested in knowing how a 660TI handled P3Dv2? The answer is... quite well! The first thought I had about P3Dv2 was that it was horrendous FPS-wise. However, after some time spent upon the settings, it appears to me that I have more FPS than before with more graphics. You can see my post in "Configuration Observations and Tips" for more details... http://forum.avsim.net/topic/427206-configuration-observations-and-tips/ Cheers

With regards to the Affinity Mask tweak, is there a place where one can find how to do it? I can see everyone speaking about it but not telling how to do it. That would be really appreciated (links or explnations) Cheers!

Hi all! The testing of Prepap3D V2 continued today. Although I was quite underwhelmed at first with Prepar3D, now, I am more and more confident with Prepar3D - although it needs lots of work still. The display settings I have are now quite cemented. Here they are... P2Dv2-1 P2Dv2-2 P2Dv2-3 P2Dv2-4 P2Dv2-5 Now, regarding the findings that I have made today, they follow here under. The small flight I have done was a VFR flight at 3,000ft from Montreal (CYUL) to the airport I've learned to fly, Mascouche (CSK3). I flown in the Carenado A36 Bonanza and had no other sceneries other than that of FlyTampa Montreal. Whenever the menu bar is shown, I have a drastic loss of FPS (+- 10FPS) which is quite curious but is something other members have shared. Only here, it is an impressive loss. During the flight, at times I can have a steady 25-26FPS without stutters whereas at other moments I have stutters at that same amount of FPS. I suspect that it might have been because the attention/focus of the computer was not all towards Prepar3D as I was switching from Google Chrome to Prepar3D back and forth at some point. Now, regarding Aero Peek, it was on on my computer so I tried turning it off to see whether it would do a difference or not. In the end, turning it off got me 1-2FPS more. It also seemed to lessen the stutters mentionned above but without eliminating them completely. With regards to the menus and the map, it is still as slow as before. To Jurgen, thanks for your advices. I can't wait for Aerosoft to release a fix for the Airbus X Extended. It will be a turning point as I will most probably do my first real flight then. Cheers!
