Three comments: 1/ It is very impressive. A2A ruined other add-on developers for me. I expect this level of simulation from all aircraft now :-) 2/ It is very heavy on my framerates. Heavier than the Piper fx. 3/ The Heading Indicator knob is broken? Confirm? It turns the entire kompas disc and not just the heading bug.

I second that - I would really like some missions to fly in P3D.

Hi Bruce I had the same thing: as soon as it rains with ASN, FPS drop dramatically. Like you I'm not sure whether it is specific to ASN or a general P3D problem.

That is bad news indeed :-( Do you have any recommendations as to which setting are the worst on AMD CPU's?

Heh, yeah, my other gaming system is an Intel CPU with a GTX680 and I guess I'm leaning towards what you're saying. Still I like the idea of there being someone challenging Intel and Nvidia in the market :-) DCS-sims also run very badly on AMD systems. Eaglesoft says its because DCS is a DX9 product and that AMD have dropped support for DX9 in their new drivers. Hard to tell what is up and down in that discussion. But what is certain is that more than 25% of gaming machines on Steam are AMD/ATI rigs. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey?platform=pc Still, any ideas would be most appreciated.

Hi guys I really love P3D and especially the new update, but I'm once again facing problems with FPS. Seems its a neverending story in flightsims :-( I have an all AMD system, FX 9370 EightCore CPU, with a 290X Graphics Card, 8 GB RAM, Win 8.1, running the 14.3 catalyst drivers. I'm looking at single digit FPS over Norcal with Rob A's settings. Even dialing down stuff (view distance, autogen etc) doesn't seem to help much. Any ideas what the problem could be? And a few pics to illustrate: One more from the settings screen:

What a sensationalistic headline... I thought you were talking about some clever trick, but instead you're merely stating what everyone already knows: more computing power, higher framerates.

First time I hear about AI traffic add-ons for X-plane... Where can one find those?

Landing in Aerodrome de Saint Francois (TFFC), Guadeloupe, on Feb 14, 2014. Airplane is an old (as old as me, anyway) Beechcraft Sundowner C23. Being a fligthsim geek, I tried to keep focus on the instruments as well as the exterior :-)

Sounds like there might be reason to be optimistic.

Yes I have exactly the same problem with KORS. I wonder if someone have found a work around or what is causing the flickering runway

So has anyone had time to peek inside the Sim Director tool? Personally I hope it will kindle a more, shall we say, fertile mission maker community. I always felt missions was an area with much unexploited potential in FSX. I also see it as a way to combat the sneaking boredom one sometimes feel with civilian sims because one have to be so damn creative to make it fun, if you know what I mean. Sometimes it is just easier to jump into a mission someone else have made.

Good post, was looking for that info

hear hear :-)

Well, **** me, that's what I was waiting for... Finally someone is putting all that X-Plane goodness to proper use. When can I buy it?
