Make sure to save the settings in AS16 before restarting the program.

6700K and 1080 is the best setup for P3D right now.

SLI will probably have marginally faster performance, but it comes with it's own issues. A 980Ti is very close in performance to a 1080 so I wouldn't suggest an upgrade (unless of course money is no issue, but then why would you ask). My advice? Save your money for the big Pascal chips (1080Ti/pascal titan) with HBM2 coming in early 2017.

Stick with the 4790K. It is a brilliant CPU and you aren't likely to see any improvements going with Broadwell E (which will be an expensive upgrade). Quad core processors with fast IPC and high overclocks rule in P3D. You have one of the best processors for P3D available right now.

I had a somewhat similar issue. For me the AP disconnects randomly and the aircraft enters a steep right bank without the ailerons moving at all. I posted a long time ago in the forums but to no avail. http://www.avsim.com/topic/471218-autopilot-weird-behavior-disconnecting-and-not-following-fd-commands/#entry3263697 This happened to me again recently and I made a short cellphone video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_8J28g9_L4 It happens randomly and its hard to pinpoint. So far I may have narrowed it down to a specific livery I downloaded from AVSIM. Haven't had much time to test it out but it seems both times I encountered this I was using this livery. I will stop using it and see if I encounter it again.

I'm done with Saitek. The X55 was a letdown and now they want to sell me another product to make up for it? No thanks.

I second the opinion that something is very wrong with your cooling. Remove and reinstall the 212 Hyper Evo along with replacing the thermal paste. There is no way you should be getting temps that high on 4.1GHz.

Has the mouse cursor fps drop been fixed in P3D?

The Dash 8. It is one of the BEST addons which exists for FSX/P3D. This isn't even a debate. The RJ is still a fun airplane which isn't modeled too deeply and should be much easier to learn to fly however.

There was recently a post about this which was removed. In summary, do not expect a SP2 and none has been announced so far. Most likely we will see a complete rebuild on the NGX than a SP2. The NGX is from 2011 if I remember correctly, PMDG won't want to touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Yea but he's trying to push 3 times as many pixels as you. I agree something seems to be off. OP have you tried running just one screen to see how the performance changes? Maybe your 770 is bottlenecking a multi monitor setup.

While the Aerosoft is good, the FSLabs should be up to PMDG level. It is supposed to be in Beta already, however I'm pretty sure that they said it will be released for FSX first, and then P3D so it might still be a ways away.

I, too, would be very interested in something like this.

What should my AM be for a 3770k with HT enabled on P3Dv3?

This looks great Rich! I just bought this case and while I'm gonna keep my H100i GTX for now, I'm definitely gonna do a custom loop when I next upgrade my CPU/mobo.
