Wow. 100 bucks for a flight simulator addon? I realize that it's probably going to be super realistic, but I think I'm gonna wait for the price to drop or for a sale...

Surprised nobody is speculating that this happened because the 747 is coming out soon :ph34r:

Heh. I saw what I think was a Navajo flying down the Hudson the other day. And great screenshots btw! Your XP setup never ceases to amaze.

Inside out. And round and round. :smile: Great pic btw!

See, what I do for best performance in P3D is put the FPS limiter to unlimited. Keeping it on has such a big performance hit it isn't ideal IMO. I simply limit the sim to 30fps using Nvidia Inspector. No blurries while getting the consistently high performance of P3D when it's framerate limiter is at unlimited. Even on my potato computer, I can maintain 27-30fps even at big airports with bad weather generated by ASN.

You did the right thing. When you're flying long-range and at high altitudes, you want most of your fuel to be in the wing tanks (L and R fuel tanks) or have it kinda evenly distributed. You don't want all the weight to be in the center. If you're nearing maximum load capacity when taking off, you may need to do a step climb... but that's a whole new topic.

This is kinda intentional. In the daytime, the taxi and landing lights will be barely visible in real life (obviously because of the sun). PMDG develops their aircraft to reflect this, unlike most other flight sim developers that just "project" a light texture in front of the aircraft.

Are you sure your view is parallel to the HUD? Don't forget that it moves with your perspective, if that makes any sense...

Good morning Avsim! I was browsing through the Flight Sim reddit when somebody pointed out that HiFi, the makers of Active Sky Next, released a new video on their YouTube channel hinting at a new product (possibly AS2016?). It looks like their new program will include textures and will be compatible with ASN to determine what kind of cloud textures are needed to accurately depict the weather. Or maybe it'll be its own weather engine that installs textures, like AS2012. It looks like (maybe) we can change textures in-game, which might be really cool. Here's the link courtesy of r/Sethos88: According to the description, they'll be showcasing it at FlightSimCon in June. Knowing HiFi, it'll be a fantastic addon. Can't wait to hear more! What are your thoughts?

I saw a post before (can't remember if it was here on Avsim or not) saying that the Leonardo Maddog is compatible with P3D v3. I'm running v2.5 though like Rick. Is there anything saying it works? Haven't flown that plane in ages. I remember how much fun it was to fly...

You need to click that C button. Should fix your problem.

Leave it alone. Don't edit it. Lockheed Martin has modified it to be as good as possible. Just mess around with your sliders in the settings.

You somehow probably managed to break your .cfg file. Delete it and let it rebuild itself. Don't add anything after it rebuilds. EDIT: And please don't yell in the forums. People will be more likely to ignore you.

The 750ti isn't that bad. I had one (upgraded recently) and had most of my P3D settings on high. Ran about 25fps in the PMDG 777 with ASN at complex airports. It's your CPU that's limiting your PC. I hate to break it to you, Bonanza90, but AMD CPUs are awful for FSX/P3D.

This has been brought up here on the forums. Somebody from PMDG (I don't think it was you, Tom) said that it was a limitation of FSX/P3D. We have to live with it. It's a minor issue at least.

I believe that's Taburet. It looks awesome, but is more taxing on your system and on VAS.

So much bloom! Great screenshots anyway lol.

Right click on the P3D icon. Properties>Compatibility>Run compatibility troubleshooter.

What's your CPU? It may not have hyperthreading. If you can, please list all sceneries and PC specs. It'll make it a lot easier for us.

Are you running any addons? Airports, scenery, ground textures, photoreal scenery, etc.?

Are you sure it's an OOM? Not just a crash?

Doubt it was fuel exhaustion. Can't see how the plane was oriented when it went down because of the poor video quality, but it looks like it went straight down. It was as if the pilot was doing nothing to prevent it from going down. Maybe it was a case of spatial disorientation?

That may be the 737 Immersion package at work. In the MD11, PMDG used a rather generic, flat texture to represent taxi/takeoff lights (as all developers did back when it came out). Now that technology has advanced a bit since then, developers can make more realistic and convincing lights that are volumetric. Or, that screenshot may be in P3D with HDR or FSX with ReShade.

Your screenshots are always so realistic :blink: Makes me wanna switch to X-Plane

I'm a teenager. Got my first computer when I was 11 months old lol. My dad was a tech geek back then who occasionally built his PCs. I still have ALL of the computers I've used since then. One's a Windows 95 with a Pentium (can't remember which one, probably a II) and 512 MB of RAM, which from my understanding was quite a bit back then. After using that for a year, my dad got me a Windows 98 (I remember playing Driver 1 and some rally racing game with a joystick) with one of the higher-end Pentium III's. Unsure about the RAM. After that, I got a Windows 2000 which was REALLY nice. I can play FS2000 on almost max settings at a decent framerate lol. All of them STILL work somehow. And they run smoother than some of my older Windows 7 PCs. Anything older than Windows 95 is really foreign to me. :blush: My favorite part about these computers was the dial-up noise. So memorable. Oh, any of course I can't forget my favorite keyboard, the IBM Model M. Love the clicky noise.
