Works absolutely fine. Latest driver is very smooth for me too.

Dam those workers, we expect them to just about afford to feed themselves and be chained to the production line for 16 hours a day! How I miss the old days! Jokes aside, as a non-US person - looking in, the salaries do seem a bit insane. Certainly in my field (Tech) - US based salaries are ludicrous (like someone my level and job type is $600K a year total comp). In my country, it’s approx $250K total comp (my peers at the same company, at the same level & team in the US are paid significantly more than me). However, the cost of living is way, way higher than it was. Times aren’t the same as they were 3 decades ago. Competition for great talent is higher, certainly in Tech anyway. Companies do need to provide workers with decent packages and benefits. It’s a 2 way street. I know that you US folks have to pay through the nose for basic human needs like healthcare (ouch) - so I guess continual rises in those/similar areas pull salary growth with it.

No- wait for the Toliss A330.

Real cool photos! But, almighty wept! The author couldn't have picked a more annoying soundtrack!

They mentioned in their discord that they’re investigating FPS issues post SU15 re aircraft. I have found airports like KJFK, EGLL & KDTW quite heavy. Usually a case of adjusting settings slightly, and not expecting to get buttery smooth experience with every setting in MSFs maxed out.

Looks like a good all-round improvement, and hopefully will bring some higher standards to Paid XP aircraft in general (aka the all round package). The wings/flaps textures look low quality compared with the rest of the aircraft, but overall - looks neat. I think calling this raising the bar / best aircraft in the Flightsim community is a biiiiig stretch here, based on the initial video. Looks no where near the complexity of Hotstart Chally or Fenix A320 - at all. But definitely new standards for XP & hopefully will force other XP developers to quit with the narrative of “Oh we don’t care about X because we’re all about Y”. All rounder’ness is much better to hold developers to account on! Once it’s out of beta and there’s more in-depth videos, may be a purchase - we’ll see.

LOL ridiculous pricing. 29$ a month????? Crazy,

Sorry - but this doesn’t make sense. Why buy a complex add-on aircraft and then use a keyboard to control it? While maybe there is some kind of bug present here, like someone also suggested, there’s probably a tiny % of people using a keyboard for this aircraft. The bug or issue will likely be at the bottom of any priority list for the Fenix devs.

Two words for the OP: "Grow up".

Regarding 1) I too haven't found an option to do that. If you're using Windows open up the volume mixer and just drag the X-Plane application sound down to 0 or a low number. There may be a better solution, but this is what I do.

So, this is my personal opinion, but..... If I had the option of going back in time and not paying near $120 for that A320 & A330 , I wouldn't. So many quirks, bugs - I've just uninstalled it. But again, that's my personal opinion. I would rather support devs that are constantly improving their products vs churning out product after product that are unfinished. - I would honestly buy IXEG 737. The devs are super, super responsive with investigating bugs and fixing them and if you were spending 60-70$, that would be the aircraft I would buy . It isn't complete yet, but the immersion is outstanding and you know that these devs are going to continue iterating and building until it's perfect. - I use either IVAO or FSGRW for weather, I believe NOAA (free, is a good plugin too). - Any scenery by MisterX (outstanding freeware). His latest is KBOS, which is a work of art. (you can find much more on x-plane.org forums/downloads area, sort by most downloaded, reviewed etc etc to see some of the top ones). There are countless others (ApilotX Mesh, http://www.spainuhd.es/p/descarga.html (Spain UHD photoscenery) + I love Tenerife GCXO, - G2XPL (donationware for unlocked version) (create your own photoscenery). I love this tool, it gives fantastic results like this: - I've never used ATC in any simulator other than IVAO/PilotEdge so I can't really comment on that.

I've been waiting many years for this, however I haven't used FSX in probably 2 years. I'll wait to see if they make it available for P3D.

I wouldn't use Mega, based on the founder's recent Tweet: "Mega had to survive without a credit card payment processor for almost 2 years now. The air is getting thin. Backup your Mega files asap." https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/722942842193055745

Only just seen this news, really? Urgh. I gave up on the 320 and 330 of his, there are so many quirks, both of them just became unflyable for me. I would much prefer them to work on the A320 and A330, remove the quirks and actually build a comprehensive aircraft, rather than just churning out buggy & aircraft that do "random" things. The last time I flew the a330, it cut corners of the route and when trying to cross the international date line, it wants to go the wrong way around the whole world :S. I reported these issues (&many more) to them and I just got a torrent of abuse on their forums from users that claim the aircraft is near perfect and I should "go back to P3D" (even though I have been simming on X-Plane for 3+ years).. So I just gave up. I certainly won't be buying anything more from them in the future.

After a while of flying in P3D (I got annoyed with a some payware X-Plane aircraft & their developers for lack of updates, bugs and general attitude to payware customers), I decided to fire up X-Plane today and try out the recent SkyMaxx upgrade and spend some time learning the 767.

So I had issues with blurries recently (fresh install & fresh OS install). I haven't edited/added any 'tweaks' into my cfg file at all. Today, I tried setting my fps to Unlimited in P3D, instead of limiting at my usual 30. Doing this has completely solved my blurries for me and I'm also stutter free. This is with the 364.72 drivers (i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz & GTX 980 TI)

As I mentioned here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/486568-european-ifr-charts/#entry3401550 You can get a load of European charts free from Eurocontrol.

You can find a bunch of various countries charts through Euro Control - http://www.eurocontrol.int/articles/ais-online - with links to the official country sites. Sometimes the charts are a bit buried, but they're generally all there, free. E.g. http://eaip.austrocontrol.at/lo/160401/Charts/LOWK/LO_AD_2_LOWK_24-1-1_en.pdf / http://eaip.austrocontrol.at/lo/160401/ad_2.htm You can also register to use the tool that shows all the charts in one page, click the link on that main page that says: "Free of charge access to AIP of EAD PAMS states is available on the European AIS Database public user website - EAD Basic (registration required)." e.g.

Seem to solved. Deleted cfg. Tried setting FFTF to 0.01 seems to solve things for me

Sorry for the late reply! I generally get a solid 30 FPS, somewhat a bit variable around some airports like YSSY/EGLL etc - but generally above 25. So the main issue I suffer from, is blurriness in P3D. I think this picture from my most recent flight sums it up, after a 3 hour flight. It wasn't as bad as this on departure from YSSY, but it wasn't exactly great there either. NZAA (default scenery all round, no mesh etc). Only Tweak in CFG = AffinityMask. P3D on a SSD System has a 980ti in it now (X-Plane loves it). Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hey, So, I'm wanting to eek out a few more FPS from X-Plane + P3D V3 and I've been thinking of updating a couple of areas in my computer. Currently: - 3470K (OC'd to 4.5Ghz) - GTX 970 4GB - 16GB Corsair 1600mhz ram Would it be worth my time updating the CPU and ram to something more modern? Or given that I have a stable OC at 4.5ghz, will I really notice much change? Cheers

What does the logfile say? (The one in the main x-plane directory)

This page:http://simheaven.com/?page_id=338 about quarter the way down, gives you a good priority order for your INI file. As mentioned above, some scenery and addons have specific instructions where to place the scenery too. Hope this helps! C
