I still find X-Plane to be more CPU bound, and upgrading from 970->1070 did not make much difference for me in VR (Oculus). And you want to OC that CPU as much as you can. But, while I had it "reasonably" smooth, I also suffered from occasionally annoying jitters, but after months of trial and error, a tip on another forum to use the 3jFPS LUA script really made the difference, and smoothed out the last annoying bits. You can also ramp the sliders up a little bit then. It's still not AreoflyFS2 smooth, but then again, there will always be compromise in this hobby. My 2cents --coffeecup

Hi, just wonder if anyone have played around with the new "Game Mode" that came in the latest update of Win10, with P3D? Suppose to take CPU away from background tasks and give it to the game to give more stable frame rate. -coffecup1978

Try to update your NVidia drivers if you haven't done it yet, seems to have fixed it for others:

They f^%#$%^ did it! P3V4 + FIP3D finally made me experience my ORBX scenaries the way I think they were meant to.. even on my reasonable, but not extreme machine (i5-4670k w/GTX1070)... my dreams.. no autogen pop up, shadows, 50-60 stable fps even on melbourne CBD.. It is not aerofly smooth, but darn it feels good!

From Flyinside FB page: Reaching for wallet.. will be interesting to see how they stack up against native.

From what I've read, the "focus point" is about 2 meters ahead, so if you see fine at that distance, you will see fine regardless if the object is near or close.. it's a weird concept, but are slightly nearsighted, however, this does not affect me in VR.

In today's hotfix patch I see a number of references to VR, anyone seen any improvements? Fixed an issue in VR views that prevented dynamic lighting in the right eye Fixed performance impact when entering and then exiting VR Fixed text label size mismatches in VR http://www.prepar3d.com/news/2017/06/114375/

Good news is that IPACS are soon to release their GeoConvert tools, which is to be a bit like OrthosXP with the abillity to build airports etc. Should make it easy and hopefully cheap for the community to create addons for A/NZ and the rest of the world.

Good idea!

Anyone tried VR in it yet?

Couldn't help noticing there is a "USA Utah" showing up in the depots. Guess that takes any doubt out of it? https://steamdb.info/app/434030/depots/

Cheers!

Did it come with any new missions/training lessons?

I found on my shitek ones I had to invert the toe breaks, as they were locking when released, and unlocking the breaks only when fully engaged. Had me stumped for a while.

From memory it gets reset each time you enter the settings menu in the GUI and save. If you don't do it, it will be the value you set in the CFG before you started FSX.
