Nice one !

YOu are the BOSS mannn !! kind regards , jaff

lately been flying with .6 ,will retry .7 and adjust the eyepoint according to your pics, thanks for the pics ! kind regards, jaff

Yes boss ! did that long bak ! zoom @ .6 to .7 , maybe i am just staring ttoo much at the corners of the screen, unlike others :S Kind regards, jaff

i have a 34inch curve (LG34uc87) and distortion is very much noticeable, infact it is terrible in comparison to 16:9, running zooms of .7 and above the distortion is almost eliminated but the terrain texture suffers , strangely this effect is absent in x-plane ... could i ask how you dont see distortion ? what zoom setting do you use ? any help would be great kind regards, jaff how do you manage to " Not see " distortion , arghhhh i have stuggled with many zoom levels to get a right view, please help !! i have an LG 34inch too ... kind regards, jaff

hey ROB, take care man ! sorry for your loss, its good to know youur taking care of mom ! ... kind regards

A very good system for both P3D and X-plane 10,even general gaming , please use it wisely that is donot overload it with tons of scenery and addons and AI , and i am sure you will be happy for a 3-4 years with it !! Also, if willing, do try to overclock it, 6700K overclocks well and if you'r lucky it can go upto 4.7-4.8 Ghz which is a good boost over 4.0 Ghz but even if such high clocks are not achieved , you may settle for 4.5-4.4 which should be comparatively easy to achieve .! kind regards

Yup probably my system :S

OKKaayyy.... time to stalk you both ......on forums ofcourse , i am waiting to buy them, here in India the prices are insanely high at the moment ,waiting for the AIB versions.....Please post results.... BOTH of you !! kind regards

if you upgrade to a GTX 1080 , you will easily have one of the best gaming systems for the next 2-3 years , and will not need to upgrade till then, your 770 now is a poor card if you plan to run at higher settings or resolutions, i have a 780 and i know for sure its reaching its end of life ,In flight sims you will see massive differences in X-plane 10 and P3D , P3D mostly with AA and clouds etc but much better nonetheless . Again the magnitude of differences is a variable based on what ad-dons you run ,what resolution you run etc.... my suggestion ; if you have the budget ; 1) go for gtx 1080 and try to overclock your 6700k to at least 4.5-4.6 (if your chip lets you and you are capable and willing to do so). 2) get a separate SSD for your OS and separate for your game ; P3d or whatever... 3) i have not much idea how DDR4 is performing these days , as i am still on a haswell 4th gen system ..so no suggestion there but , lower timings with high freq (with a limit) always better with RAM. My suggestions only make your system a complete gaming rig, NOT what you may desire but its only a suggestion and you are free to ignore it Complete your system with the above upgrades and never (hopefully) will you ever come to hardware forums for a while ( 2-3 years)

Hey Mark Tried bumping up the zoom to 1 but as I do so the scenery starts to loose quality and blurs up . At setting of 1 or even .9 Kind regards

dear mr robert . i have been a fan ! i was the guy who used to be happy with default 737 on FSX and by mistake stumbled upon your 737 NGX and since then ...... junkied :/ I like the "push the envelope" approach you guys have wherein every release you do something new and surprise us , You have set a standard and now people look up to you , by people i mean Devs included,so in turn because of you guys we might just get better planes from others as well ! Hopefully lots gonna change for X-plane soon .... Gonna buy this and cant wait for your port overs of other airliners into X-plane (hoping extra fast black magic port over )! there better be port overs as well kind regards

hello elaine , where did you purchase the VFR england pack :/ cant to seem to find it except in DVD versions and that too out of stock ...

hey, i have a 21:9 panel 3440x1440 and when i play p3d on it , there seems to be quiet a bit of distortion on the sides. is there a solution to this ? i tried fiddling with the zoom and above a zoom of .7 the distortion starts to minimize, but the scenery starts to blur/ decrease in quality . maybe an option to adjust horizontal FOV ? my lack of knowledge in this field leaves me without a solution :s kind regards

Well i think austin was very mild about it.....read this ; http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/nvidia-ceo-good-vr-20-years-away kind regards, jaffer

either i misunderstood or you did, these are the ONLY gaming cards/pcbs/chips/dies you and i are going to have access to as far as gtx 1080 and gtx 1070 are concerned... think of these cards as product replacement by Nvidia for 980 and 970 the ones you are reffering to are the GP100 chip ones which are for scientific computation and THOSE will be out in 2017 (early) ..... Again .. these two are the ONLY GAMING cards with the PASCAL architecture that we soon have access to kind regards, jafff

Awesome topic guys,Instrument engineer engineer on hiatus ! studying up to do my masters in industrial safety engineering ! gaff

hey kristolz, i am using a 3440x1440 monitor too, do you see image stretching on your monitor sides? if yes how do you minimize it ? what zoom level do you use? kind regards, jaff

Thanks a ton mark for the vivid/mathematical explanation ! will try this out !

hey, recently purchased mine (LG 34uc87 ), there are times where i just sit stare and admire the beaut !! But i would like to know how you play around with zoom ,as in what zoom settings to use etc in P3D. could you please elaborate on that . kind regards, jaff hey mark, thanks for the detailed explanation, sooo in short how do i adjust the zoom level to reduce the 'sides ' distortion on a 21:9 panel ? like should the value go up or down or how does one calculate ? kind regards, jaff

Hey kevin . I tried the whole ht thing with af 116 suggested above but ht on is unstable on my overclocked pc .

prior to applying this setting (30fps limit in ni and vsync on , unlim frames etc..) my core 0 was being taxed fully and the cpu usage overall was 55 to 60 ish and p3d was microstuttering et all. Now the cpu usage is down to 35 to 40 and core zero is 50% utilized and p3d runs absolutely smooth ! thank you steve ! Also could you please explain how this could have happened ; the cpu usage reduction i mean ... kind regards, jaff

hey Dylan, ah initially tried without any tweaks but later on Changed TBM to 80 , and just today added texturemaxload=6. Hyperhtreading results in P3d crash often as i have an Overclock of 4.4ghz the system is not stable when HT is on. The thing is non of the tweaks are making much of a difference out here (at least on my pc) . Tried what david suggested above and sadly did not solve the issue. guess i just have to stop looking out the window too often kind regards, gaff

hey david, The thing is its difficult to showcase the issue through screen shots, basically as the aircraft moves i can see the Terrain textures become laggy and load up one after other or rather they get clearer after a delay. Thanks for the tips , will try out and let you know the result ! kind regards, gaff
