speaking of lights, the strobe lights on most aircraft look horrible in V3 now. We're back to fs2000 strobes!

Then why the heck did you waste everyones time with your reply? It has absolutely no bearing on the posters question.

I will be moving my correspondence to the simforums.

I'll try to reach out to him via the other forum. Thanks!

Perhaps I am still missing something, but I have always thought that the camera function within OPUS is extremely convoluted and unnecessarily difficult to set up. That being said, Ive read the manuals and have tried for 2 years to successfully set up external aircraft views. I am able to successfully set up multiple VC views and can effectively cycle through those views using a key command I setup in the shortcuts. I use Cntl + J to cycle up and cntrl + I to cycle down. Why dont these controls work when I am switched to opus external view? I have setup multiple external views successfully. However I am unable to cycle through them. When in opus external view custom default view shows fine, but when I attempt to cycle to the next view, it puts me back into VC view mode. Please help.

When disconnecting the Autopilot while on short final (in APP mode), I loose complete control... more specifically, the aircraft rolls violently or shoots straight up into the air. I am unable to regain control for about 15 seconds or so, which is usually too late. Just to clarify, the autopilot DOES disengage completely, but... The second I disengage it, the aircraft goes bonkers and will not respond to any manual control input for 10 to 15 seconds. I understand that support for P3d is not guaranteed, but when you offer a separate installer for it, that's a fair indication to your buyers that it will indeed function properly in P3d. There is also a forum topic about this issue in the QW forums at http://qwsim.flight1.net/forums/qw757-autopilot-big-issues_topic4114.html but, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

sorry for bumping a topic that is nearly a year old... blame google. How were you able to get the POSKY aircraft to show in P3d V2? The 757-200 in particular, I cant get to show up at all. Thanks.

Can we please stick to the topic of the post? Many of us are diligently following the progress LM makes on this cloud issue and have chosen to receive notifications when a new post is made. That coupled with the fact the new readers to the topic already have to sift through a dozen pages in this thread as it is... Let's make it easier for all involved. Please and thanks.

Which 737?

My understanding is that it does exactly as asn does. Simply place a check mark in the historical weather box, and load the Sim on the time and date you wish to fly, and opus does the rest. It should also be noted that OPUSFSX is now outdated. It's new version is CALLED OPUSFSI

I'm not using emt, vanilla install with only the ifly 737 (which is a P3D supported aircraft) added. Adding any clouds, drops my FPS down to single digits. In 2.1 I was able to hold 25 in complete IMC.

I had a feeling someone would say that. I disagree completely. As a real world pilot, I enjoy all aspects of flying...even the learning part. I find it "fun." Just because P3d is a learning tool, doesnt mean NOT having fun is a requirement... :rolleyes:

Yeah, for the past few months I've been a huge advocate of P3d. Haven't had FSX installed in almost a year now. This is the fist time since I switched that I'm pondering going back to FSX. You hit the nail on the head when you said this new version just isn't any fun.

One thing is for certain. With this new version, I can no longer fly the iFly 737 aircraft without it being a slide show. I hadn't flown it since 2.1 and in that version it was fine.

OPUSfsx and OpusFSI does that too. Its been feature provided for over a year now.

Pretty much. It was a suggested work around however earlier in this thread.

Using a GTX690, the only thing that literally tripled my fps was adding SSAA=4 to the .cfg and 0 MSAA. Like I said though, that comes with the expense of less than stellar AA.

Rob, I just finished watching your youtube videos of cloud performance as well as skimming over the adjustments you have listed on your website. What was the final solution for you? If you're not using the cloud.fx fix and you're not using SSAA, then please share your recipe Thanks! great website btw

I noticed this as well with the newest ASN build. I'm back to using OPUS FSI on my next flight...we'll see! Somewhere out there, an XP10 guru is laughing at us...lol

Earlier in this thread it was mentioned that using 4x SSAA for antialiasing is suggested. I see in the P3d UI settings it only allows for MXSS. How do I use a SSAA setting? Thanks! Edit: I figured out how to enable it. Im assuming SSAA of 4 is what the "4x" equates to. Also assuming that a value of "0" should them be placed next to MSAA? First flight using the clud.fx mod and the 4x ssaa, and the fps issues in clouds no longer exist. I too am back to v2.2 performance levels...HOWEVER... BY switching to MSAA=0 and SSAA=4 the antialiasing is pretty bad compared to when I had MSAA on. Jaggies galore. Is this normal? Its an eyesore definitely, but still better than 8fps in the clouds. Im running a GTX 690 with an i7 OC to 4.5.

Following! Great question! http://forum.avsim.net/topic/449244-2-way-and-3-way-sli-support-in-p3d-v23/

Thanks Richard! THATS the answer we needed. A key detail there is to open the "detail" tab. You rock!

jfail...your reply is indeed that, a fail. I specifically asked the OP how he was able to check the version without launching it. I asked that because like many of us, we're not able to launch the exe without an immediate CTD. :frustrating:

Thats all fine and dandy, but when I look at my P3D.exe file in the LM folder it doesnt say what version it is. Mind explaining how the heck you can check that without launching the exe?
