Experiment with fast sync yet?

Fantastic shots.

Almost guaranteed that a clean install will not do this. Only one tried and true troubleshooting method and that's clean install, installing one addon at a time then checking sim. Any other way is guesswork without a crash log. I had this while beta testing and the culprit was Rex WX radar( which BTW has been resolved in latest version). Good luck

Sounds like a permissions issue if you can't uninstall properly. Have you tried to download the newest corsair link from their website and run it as admin and instead just upgrade it(it will install over the old one)? that may work for you. I suspect you are on the default profile that puts more emphasis on sound vs cooling. V4 is decent with memory management and will only show around 3 GB used on my system but if you have GPU-Z and check video memory being used it is up over 6 GB and I'm not running a lot of payware. Spikes can be caused byt lots of things and its been discussed a few times her before so i won't rehash that. but should you run short on any resource be it processing power , memory , GPU or GPU memory - framerate spikes are almost a certainty.

P3DV4 can easily exceed 8 GB , especially with addons so your going to get a lot of slow downs and spiky FPS as your swapfile is starting to get used. Is your swapfile located on your SSD or on your HDD? If not moving it to the SSD would give some perf back because of the huge difference in transfer rates. I would check your performance on your water cooling before removing it from the CPU. If you do, clean it all off and put a dime size spot of heat conductive paste back on and reseat it again. Too much paste can be bad too. Make sure your radiator is clean. I have a H115i too and the way it comes out of the box will pack the radiator with dust under the fans and you cant see it. Open Corsair LINK and make sure you have performance mode enabled too while your at it, I didn't care for the default settings, too warm.

CPU probably maxed out.

What is shown in your Windows logs as the reason for the crash?

Doubtful it's a Doctor killer anymore since they have long moved on to the latest and greatest as those people do...

I've got nearly all their releases but was really hoping for some twin engine fun this time around :/

Why not use adaptive mode for global. I switch from Videos to browsing or maybe streaming. I think adaptive seems to be the best bet as it adjusts on the fly.

Is it with all GTN 750 panel configurations or only a specific one such as GTN750/GNS430. Are you using the WX radar with it also or not.

Did you run operations center and pick the higher res textures?

Shouldn't FFTF be adjusted also based on the speed of the aircraft instead of just altitude? 600 knots? Mach 3? If you read the old Phil Taylor explanation, it would seem that the faster you fly the more time fibers would need and the faster the scenery will try to load. Curious to see the results on a Concorde, SR-71 or even the F-22 on full burner at Mach 2.2

My friend just purchased Prepar3d V4.2 and has a really strange problem with the zoom function. The zoom appears to only operate on the horizontal axis, so when he zooms out the view is crushed in on the sides while the vertical seems to maintain the same aspect ratio, the VC get's crushed in down to about 1" width of screen space, while the vertical is still the full height. It almost looks like a weird fisheye effect to the extreme. Only one user on the LM forum has posted similar issue but I don't think he describes the issue well enough to determine anything / I don't have any pics as I was looking at his system via teamviewer , but it is a fresh install of 4.2 (not upgraded from previous versions) . FTX global and PMDG 777, 737, Activesky for P3Dv4 and FSUIPC addons. I've loaded my P3D to compare to his and this zoom function is definitely not working the same compared between both PC's. Tried all the usual suspects such as video drivers, run as admin, deleting .cfg's for P3d and cameras and letting the sim rebuild them to no avail. Wide view aspect ratio doesn't have any effect. Also his zoom doesn't seem to have any limits like mine does it will zoom in and out to very far like . . He is only using a 1920x180 single screen, no multimonitors VR or anything else. Both of our systems are using 1080 geforce cards with the latest drivers. Been fixing sims forever but never have seem an issue like this before or would suspect a camera program but there is none and I supervised install of all addons and P3DV4 install and nothing was wrong or out of place. Baffled

Good to know , I've reinstalled this sim every new version of windows and P3D so many times it makes me sick to my stomach. I'll check out simstarter when I get a chance , thanks for the tip.

I can't believe that. Whether you want it or not P3D is putting items in your C: drive. Specifically in ProgramData and Users directory , not to mention your registry. X-Plane will be fine on any drive or moving the folder where you want but P3D/FSX ...no

Could be because your switching between a textual page that requires next to no GPU/CPU to rendering a 2D moving map that requires continuous update to be accurate. Other addon vendors have settings to reduce update rate on these kinds of displays like PMDG 737 and Majestic Q400 for this reason. To be clear it's not because of increased GPU or CPU usage but the syncing of the framerates of the display.

Did you delete the scenery entries within the scenery.cfg after deleting the folders (IE start sim and remove them or edit the file and remove the entries) before trying to reinstall? in youre first posts of your doc you didn't mention anything about that.

If you have a virgin simulator do you guys see these problems? In my case a little bit but after installing ORBX stuff it gets waaaaaay worse. I'm not picking on ORBX, I have a lot of their products and it is easy to pick out. I suspect somewher that it doesn't adhere to the SDK but is good enough for both FSX and P3D....just my opinion. I have also tried the ORBX tool that lets you increase the size of lights etc but don't like seeing balloons for city lights. The heart of the issue I think is what happens to that pinpoint of light when it gets down to 1 or 4 pixels in size, that's where the flicker is.

Turning off HDR will "fix" it but not really an acceptable solution. I love Orbx but there is something not quite right with their textures that cause shimmering.

Running unlimited FPS can also cause blurries as you are placing more emphasis on framerates over texture loading. Slowing things down a bit can help as long as your system can maintain it. V4 I believe defaults to unlimited FPS where on older versions it was set for 20.

Apparently their server certificate expired so the program is blocked. Someone forgot to pay the bill and should get fired for such a stupid oversight. If you are going to implement a draconian system like that then someone better be darn sure it's taken care of. Makes me wonder if then can force obsolescence like apple and start randomly breaking devices so you need to buy the next newest one....or someone sues them and they decide to pull the rug out under everyone...boom hundreds of thousands of people stuck with a $450.00 paperweight. Who cares that you actually purchased the device and should be able to use it, cloud computing or not. Fix: Disable windows automatic time update and set your clock back a few days and restart the oculus service til they pay their bill....

Isn't there a center in EZdok to return you to the center point of the view you set up? Maybe try that instead of the TIR center command as they are different points. I believe TIR uses what camera definitons that are in the aircraft.cfg. Seems like there was a program you had to run for Ezdok that fixed the aircraft.cfg so it would use the ezdok values...you had to run it every time you installed new aircraft so that it would add the proper entries or you get weirdness like this.

I realize there is a dam there but down from it just a texture , no "salt river" , Wheres the canal?

updated for V4 yet the river is still missing, just some ugly texture with no water :/
