@Alphaless Hi again then you should not worry, fsx by default is like this, when you make a flight at a high altitude, such as FL240 or FL300 you will see that the texture pattern repeats too much that is because fsx has a very basic landclass since it does not have a high variety of terrain textures, for example, several stony terrain textures or several jungle terrain textures. The only way to reduce but not eliminate this pattern of repetitive textures is to use a payware landclass such as those from Scenerytech, openLCs from ORBX or landclass from flight1 (GEX), and use new textures such as GEX, ORBX Global base pack, and even use ORBX Vector. If you are interested there is a 50% discount offer for ORBX products, you could get the Global base pack with an OpenLC of the region you want, thus reducing the repetitive pattern of the land textures, FSX was designed like this. As you fly at higher altitude you will notice the repetitive pattern. Regards

@Alphaless What place is that? Are you using the default terrain textures? Do you use any landclass?

Very true the QW787 has a strong impact on the fps due to its screen cabin, it is not optimized for fsx or p3d, for that reason I voted 747. regards

Hi guys As I understand you can upgrade from crj 700/900 X to crj pro for about 20 dollars. However, I just received a mail from pc aviator that only offers me a 25% discount for updating and I would have to pay 57 dollars. 😮 Does anyone know about this? Regards EDIT : Do not worry, pcaviator just sent me a new email and they have corrected the amount of the update, now if it is correct, 20 dollars. They have not taken in correcting it. Very well done pcaviator !!!! Cheers

Hi I usually use AS16 with ASCA using only dynamic theme. I have a problem with clouds, when there is an overcast condition, many repeated grey clouds appear behind my plane, in front of the plane everything is fine. Why does this happen? Any solution? I don't use pta, shaders...... Thanks Regards

@pilot10112 Hello Try to block the fps at 30 using the program called Rivatuner that comes next to the MSI afterburner, so you can monitor your PC and check how your PC behaves with the new 737. You can also block your fps using the nvidia inspector. Don't forget to keep your gpu drivers updated And finally after blocking your fps make a test flight with all the adjustments to the minimum and also deactivate all your payment scenarios, that is, use only the default scenario, if you get a nice amount of fps go up the settings a little little to achieve a balance between performance and graphic quality. regards PS: Remember, AI traffic, water effects, shadows, HDR, high definition terrain textures consume too much performance. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-download.html

@Zimmerbz Hi p3dv4 uses the cpu more than the gpu, with respect to fsx the cpu has been downloaded a little work to deposit it on the gpu. Your gpu is perfect for pd3v4 if you use medium settings, textures at 2048, AAx4 and AFx16, 1080p @ 60Hz. I believe that if you use these features it is not necessary to update, now if you want very high settings or 2K, 4K, 144Hz ......: There is a tool to calculate the bottleneck between cpu and gpu: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ Here are some results, try it yourself, according to this your gpu top of the range for you would be the gtx2060 6gb (NOT SUPER) i7-6700k (+ 15% oc) + GTX1060 6GB: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-6700K/GeForce_GTX_1060/0Fn0Venq/16/ i7-6700k (+ 15% oc) + GTX1660 6GB (not Super): https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-6700K/GeForce_GTX_1660/0Fn13wnq/16/ i7-6700k (+ 15% oc) + GTX1660Ti 6GB (or GTX1660 Super): https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-6700K/GeForce_GTX_1660_Ti/0Fn13fnq/16/ i7-6700k (+ 15% oc) + GTX2060: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-6700K/GeForce_RTX_2060/0Fn137nq/16/ i7-6700k (+ 15% oc) + GTX2060 Super(there is a bottleneck): https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-6700K/GeForce_RTX_2060_SUPER/0Fn14pnq/16/ Regards

@ArchieB a gtx1660 super, don't think about it anymore consume less energy heats up less it is economical it's new technology perfect for 1080p @ 60Hz gddr6 is faster than gddr5 Regards

The i5-9600K is great, yes, that msi z390A-PRO, if I'm not mistaken, is the most basic and economical motherboard msi z390, I think it does not have rgb and it lacks any connection that others have, look at the msi website and compare it with the z390 tomahawk which is the mid-range motherboard. If your budget is limited it is a good option, it costs around 40 euros less than the z390 tomahawk. By the way, the gpu that I recommended you is the gtx1660 ''super'' with gdrr6 memory, not the gtx1660 with gdrr5 memory, keep that in mind. the most logical thing would be to add 16 gb ddr4 of at least 2666mhz, for example kingston hyper x regards

I do not recommend buying second-hand components because buying a PC is an important investment that must be amortized in several years. You never know the state in which the second-hand components are found and how much useful life they will have. dont buy second-hand cpu or gpu ahhh ok, so there's no problem getting a three fan gpu, I understood that the fractal box was the one you wanted to have. There are many manufacturers and the box is a very personal component, the important thing to keep in mind is that there is enough space for all the components. Regards

ohhh, that dismissal !!! Thanks , you're right, for an i5-9400F a Z390 is not necessary, but I would not recommend an H310 but at least a B360 because the H310 is too basic. The B360 has capacity for up to 6 SATA instead of just 4 and also another difference is that in h310 there are only two memory slots, in B360 there are 4 slots.more freedom I have corrected my comments in red color Hello again, I do not recommend buying second-hand cpus, you do not know how long they have been working, how they have been stressed, I think it is taking too much risk on a cpu that is the heart of the pc. on the other hand, the i7 7700K has a performance equivalent to that of the i5-8600K. think about it Regarding the HDD and SSD if you use W10 OEM, keep in mind that you cannot use it on your new device. I recommend a two-fan GPU because the case you want is somewhat small and if you want in the future to add a liquid cooling on the front you would not have enough space. I am not sure either, but P3D is really FSX updated so I think it is more important faster than the number of cores. Anyway, I would recommend that you wait, because if I have not heard badly, intel will launch the new cpus family, the 10th generation and as I read, an i3 10xxx will have the same performance as an i7-7700K. Regards Brisafresca PD: I have corrected my comments in red color about from z390 to B360 motherboard.

@ArchieB Hi again, you don't need a powerful pc to play in P3D with a medium settings. I recommend that you read and see several reviews of the components you choose to ensure that they are of quality and adequate and to ensure compatibility with other components. CPU: At this moment, the i7-6700K is a CPU hard to find. You can easily find 8th, 9th generation cpus and perhaps some 7th generation cpu. The cpus that I would recommend are: i5-8400: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-8400+%40+2.80GHz&id=3097 i5-8600K:https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-8600K+%40+3.60GHz&id=3100 i5-9400F: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-9400F+%40+2.90GHz&id=3397 i5-9600K: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-9600K+%40+3.70GHz&id=3337 i5 8400 vs i5 9400F: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-9400F-vs-Intel-i5-8400/3397vs3097 i5 8600K vs i5 9600K:https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-8600K-vs-Intel-i5-9600K/3100vs3337 If you have a limited budget, the i5 8400 or i5 9400F are good cpus, the i5 9400F would be preferable because It may be cheaper than the i5-8400 because it does not have an integrated GPU, so the ''F'', however, with either of them you cannot do overclock. Their base frequencies are 2.8 and 2.9ghz respectively, when using p3d the most likely is that the cpus use the turbo speed 4.0Ghz and 4.1Ghz respectively constantly. If you can stretch a little, the i5-9600K or i5-8600K is preferable, they have the ''K'' and therefore you can do overclock when you need it. By doing OC you can extend the life of your PC in the last years of life of the PC. I would add AMD Ryzen processors, however, I am unaware of its subculture. The ryzen 2xxx cpus currently have very good prices to clean stock in the stores, if it is not already finished, now they have the disadvantage that they lack a little bit mononuclear performance, a problem that has been solved with the ryzen 3xxx. However ryzen 3 have the disadvantage that their motherboards are very expensive, however depending on the manufacturer and model of 2nd generation motherboard, that is, for Ryzen 2xxx, 2nd gen motherboards with 3rd generation cpus can be used updating the bios from motherboard, but as already I have indicated it will depend on the motherboard manufacturer and its model. The models that I think have stood out are: Ryzen 5 2600: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+2600&id=3243 Ryzen 5 2600X:https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+2600X&id=3235 Ryzen 5 3600: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+3600&id=3481 Ryzen 5 3600X: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+3600X&id=3494 ''X'' means OC version. Also to indicate that the Ryzen usually bring a stock fan, better than the intel. I leave for another AVSIM partner to recommend you about AMD. Motherboard: Whether you choose an i5 8xxx or an i5 9xxx choose a z390 motherboard, the z390 is compatible with both generations of cpus. There are several brands and models, choose an intermediate model. I would recommend the MSI Z390 Tomahawk, only if you choose a ''K'' CPU: https://es.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-Z390-TOMAHAWK/Overview To i5-8400 or i5-9400F is neccesary a for example a B360 motherboard https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B360M-BAZOOKA/Overview CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is economical, functional and compatible with socket 1151 (8th and 9th intel cpus), It will be enough, however if you want to do overclock I think it is not the most appropriate, everything will depend on how much you want to overclock, if it is just a little bit OC, it is an acceptable cpu cooler, now if you want to perform a high overclock, another cpu cooler is preferable with superior features or maybe a liquid cooling system. RAM: I cannot talk much about the ram, depending on the motherboard model you choose you must find the ram memory compatible with your motherboard, you have to look for the so-called motherboard's QVL, all manufacturers indicate it on their websites. As a minimum find 16GB ddr4 at 2666Mhz, an economical and reliable brand is Kingston Hyper X or Corsair Vengeance. GPU: Currently it is difficult to find a GTX1060 6Gb, the most logical thing is to get the new GTX1660 Super, this has become the new GTX1060, however it has almost the performance of a GTX1070 or GTX1660ti. It is a mid-range gpu, it will serve you perfectly with P3D and with any game. Get the most economical models, the only difference with the most expensive models will be that they have factory oc, a better cooling system or a metal bakcplate, however the difference between cheap and expensive models will not be greater than 30 euros. I think the most powerful model is the ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB ROG STRIX OC with 5% OC and a good cooling system. https://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-16/geforce-gtx-1660-super PSU: The PSU you use will depend on the final characteristics of the PC and especially on whether or not you do OC. EVGA has a good application to calculate the power and model you need, anyway I think you would only need a psu from 450w to 650w if you use the cpus and gpu that I have indicated above. https://www.evga.com/power-meter/ However, it is recommended that you choose a psu with a 80+ Gold certification, if the budget is limited to at least one 80+ Bronze If you use i5-8400 or i5-9400F + gtx1660 super is enough a 450W PSU. If you use i5-8600K or i5-9600K + gtx1660 super is enough a 650W PSU. check it out for yourself And finally if you can get a modular or semi modular PSU better, because you can reduce the number of wires inside the case. SSD and HDD: it is advisable to use a ssd only for W10 and an hdd only for P3D, therefore: (1xSSD 240GB) + (1xHDD 1Tb). If the budget is limited, use only one HDD. CASE: Here, choose a case as you like and make sure that the interior dimensions of the box are compatible with the dimensions of its components. Fractal Design Meshify C is a simple case if the budget is limited, it is enough, now a future may wish to expand its components or improve them, it may have little space to do so, especially if you want to add more fans or SDDs, because that implies more wires on the back side. Now if you are not adding more fans or sdds it is enough. 1.- It has dust filters, two standard fans, perfect 2.- A very important fact is the compatibility with the CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Evo measures: 159mm Fractal Design Meshify C allows up to: 172mm that is good 3.- I think a two-fan gpu would be preferable instead of three fans. I recommend you read the following review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/fractal-design-meshify-c/ RESUME An economic and mid-range configuration could be this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2TyP3t Compatibility Notes Note:The MSI MAG Z390 TOMAHAWK ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it. Some Intel B360 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions. Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders. ( I am not responsible if there is any incompatibility , if not, check it yourself or with an expert) cpu: i5-9400F cpu cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO motherboard: MSI Z390 Tomahawk (ATX) MSI B360M Bazooka ram: Corsair Vengeance DDR4-2666 (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16) gpu: MSI GTX1660 Super 6GB Ventus XS OC ssd: WD 250Gb (WDS250G2B0A) hdd: WD 1Tb (WD10EZEX) psu: Corsair TX550M Semimodular 550W 80+ Gold case: Fractal Design Meshify C (Estimated wattage: 311W < 550W ) These materials have an approximate price of 800 euros 700 euros (without taxes), if you want to reduce the price even more, although I do not recommend it, you could: 1.- Remove the SSD 2- Change the motherboard model, perhaps for a MSI Z390 Mortar or Z390 A-PRO (although compatibility with the other components may change) 3.- Only use (2x4Gb) 8 Gb DDR4 2666Mhz, maybe the Kingston brand is a little cheaper. 4.- Change the GPU model for a GTX1650 4Gb. 5.- Change the PSU for a 450W 80+ Bronze model I hope this can help you Regards Brisafresca

@ArchieB Hi First of all, your computer does not meet the minimum requirements of P3Dv4.5, this requires at least a 2GB graphics card, your gtx650Ti only has 1GB, on the other hand, the more ''active'' add ons you add to your simulator, you wil get worse performance, moreover, the QW 787 is famous for not having good performance. Two important reasons why you have low fps System Requirements – Prepar3D v4 https://www.prepar3d.com/system-requirements/ Maybe if you get an cheap GTX1050Ti 4Gb / GTX1050 2Gb / GTX1060 3Gb or GTX1650 4Gb your fps may improve with low-medium settings (30 fps/1024 textures /1080p @60Hz), but using the QW787 I cannot assure you for sure. Maybe you get a better result by getting the new GTX1660 Super, with a performance equivalent to GTX1070 or GTX1660ti, be careful, it could require a new PSU, in this case 450W https://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-16/geforce-gtx-1660-super You should use msi afterburner to monitor the characteristics of your pc while flying so you can detect performance problems. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-download.html Never forget to read the hardware recommendations of the add ons,it is very important. Sorry but I cannot find the characteristics of your motherboard, I guess it is from the asus brand but I do not find the characteristics, anyway, you were wrong to indicate `` i5 3770k '', in truth you wanted to say `` i7- 3770K '', this i7 has a better multi-core performance than the i5 but it has the same mononuclear performance, in my opinion, I think it is only worth it if this cpu has a very cheap price or is free, if not, it is not worth it. Your cpu ''i5-3570K'': https://ark.intel.com/content/www/es/es/ark/products/65520/intel-core-i5-3570k-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-80-ghz.html ''i7-3770K'': https://ark.intel.com/content/www/es/es/ark/products/65523/intel-core-i7-3770k-processor-8m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html CPUs Performance Comparison: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-3570K-vs-Intel-i7-3770K/828vs2 update the PC or get a new complete pc, in your case you would try to get a new better gpu and if it doesn't work, try to get a new complete PC.

In real life the real Russian pilots have used it, it's another philosophy, only you have to get used to it. Regards

Excuse me, but you're getting confused with MIG15 ADI, L-39 ADI is more ''western'' I'm sure there is some explanation why the MIG-15 ADI is like that. L-39C https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/iblock/41e/Screen_150722_133909.jpg MIG-15

you can change the cockpit to English from option menu +1 A little bit of Albatros 😁😎

@Quackarov Hi I recommend you to use Digital combat simulator (DCS), it has two wonderful jet tranning airplanes: L-39C and C-101EB, both of them are subsonic airplanes, therefore, they are slower than the T-38 Talon which is actually a F-5 Both have the advantage that you can share the cockpit with a partner, instructor ..... in multiplayer. DCS uses a free base platform and then you can add airplanes and operating theaters. Includes two free planes the TF-51D and the Su-25T. You can only fly in the operating theater of the Caucasus. You can try it: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/stable/ Hardware requirements: Honestly DCS is a simulator that demands a lot of ram and gpu memory. If you want to enjoy DCS with acceptable graphic quality you need at least 16GB of RAM and a GPU with at least 6GB of GDDR5, I have a GTX1060 6GB and I don't complain DCS L-39C / ZA Chuck's Guide: https://www.mudspike.com/chucks-guides-dcs-l-39za-albatros/ L-39 Albatros: Kursant campaign DCS C-101EB / CC Review: https://www.mudspike.com/dcs-aviodev-c-101eb-cc/ Chuck's Guide: https://www.mudspike.com/chucks-guides-dcs-c-101cc-aviojet/ Regards

@HarryVoyager Yes, flight simulation is an expensive hobby, so you have to think where spend your money. GPS is a very important tool, and too in USA, you have to learn to use it. Sorry but I cannot to help you with hardware Regards

@dxk77 Ok, thanks 👍

@dxk77 Thanks for your answer Are you sure you don't read the airspaces? I say this because in PF3 there is an option to designate the name of the `` center '' or `` radar '' airspace. page 62 of the user manual

fsaerodata updates the FSX and P3D database but also updates the airspaces. Is PF3 compatible with fsaerodata? Also, since PF3 uses the FSX database, (updated by fs aerodata), I would like to know if PF3 reads the location and names of the updated airspaces. Thank you

Your welcome 👍
