Ok, now I understand what this program is for. I'm going to try with a simple add on. Could you tell me that add ons are not compatible with this program? On the other hand, can add ons installed outside P3Dv4 be updated? if p3d is updated what should I do? Thanks Regards

@micstatic @Jelle123 I think the reason for using two different SSDs is that the operation of W10 affects as little as possible the game load. I do not recommend buying a single 500GB or 1TB SSD, it is not enough space to install W10, P3D, XP11 plus add ons or plugins. If you want a good gaming PC, my recommendation is to invest money in a new mid-range GPU or start saving money for a new PC. Regards

Vega 56 is better gpu than GTX1060 3GB, however, P3D works better with Nvidia GPUs, and on the other hand, Vega 56 needs a powerful PSU, around 750W, also, Vega 56 has a similar performance to GTX1660Ti or GTX1070, and finally a Vega 56 cost more than 300 euros. GTX1660Ti is a more efficient GPU than Vega 56, it needs only a minimum 450W PSU.

ummm, very interesting, I'm going to read the manual, Thanks Regards Brisafresca

It is difficult, because you have to find a motherboard compatible with your components, especially with your RAM. With 300 euros maybe you can get a cheap GTX1660 6GB (Without Ti, very important), and a cheap B350 motherboard, the B350 motherboard supports the overclock, but remember, very important, your CPU doesn't support the overclock, so you have to spend more than 300 euros, perphaps 500 euros if you want a CPU with overclock and a mid-range GPU like GTX1660 although it would be better a GTX1660Ti with a performance similar to GTX1070. And finally the overclock needs a good PSU, more money. In short you need more than 300 euros. Regards

@Jelle123 Hello First of all, you should to specify better the models, references or features of the components of your PC, as well as if you have SSD or HDD or both, what case you have and finally what PSU you have, so people can recommend you much better. In my opinion your PC is poorly balanced, that is, you have a mid-range CPU in combination with a low-end motherboard with a high amount of RAM and a low-mid-range card, it should be more balance between the components. 1.- CPU Your CPU is not bad, the only disadvantage is that it is a first generation ryzen, they usually have a lower mononuclear performance than Intel processors and to use simulators a high mononuclear performance is important. On the other hand, your cpu does not support overclock, it doesn't have the ''X '' at the end of the name which means that it can overclock. It is a very important fact. 2.- motherboard Your motherboard is low-end, it has an A320 chipset, these do not allow overclocking, therefore you have a CPU that cannot be overclocked. 3.- RAM 32GBs is more than enough, but one thing is missing, the speed of memories. I think the proper speed of the ram with the ryzen is 3000 or 3200Mhz, I'm not sure. 4.- GPU The GTX1060 3GB is a low-mid-range card, perfect for FSX (30FPS / 1024 / 1080p) but not suitable for P3Dv4 or XP11. By the way, XP11 uses the GPU a lot, so it needs a powerful gpu. In conclusion, your computer is recent, I would recommend that you keep your PC for at least another two years to amortize the investment, if you want to update some component of your PC the best thing you can do is get a new graphic card, such as a GTX1660 6GB or GTX1660Ti 6GB, very suitable for playing 60FPS / 2048 / 1080p and a SSD of at least 500Gb for only W10. I could recommend upgrading your CPU to a Ryzen 5 2700, but maybe the update is too much money and the performance gained is little, so it would be more worth buying a new PC. Finally, I don't know what PSU you have, with the GPU update I would recommend a PSU of at least 650W 80+ Gold. In short, a new GPU + SSD, and optionally a PSU. regards

Is there any tutorial about this? Thanks

anyone know?

Thank you so much all for the comments If I install p3dv4.5hf1, can I go back to install p3dv4.4 later without problems? On the other hand, are most of the add ons compatible with p3d4.5hf1 already? Is there an important add on not yet updated to p3dv4.5hf1? Many add ons only indicate that they are compatible with p3dv4 or p3dv4.4 + Thanks

Hello I have been with P3D uninstalled for a while and I will start installing it again with my add onds, with P3Dv4.4 I had a great performance, but I was wondering if finally P3Dv4.5 Hotfix 1 is better performance and if all the add onds are already compatible with 4.5hf1. Thank you

HI I don't have any AMD cpu, but I think it is a good cpu: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-3600-vs-Intel-i5-9600K-vs-Intel-i7-9700K/3481vs3337vs3335 Regards

@MarkW Thanks for your answer, but I only have a computer Regards

anyone know?

@cooperwarner8 Hi You have p3dv4 requirements here: https://www.prepar3d.com/system-requirements/ You meet the minimum requirements so I think you will be able to use p3dv4.5 but only in 1080p / 1024 / 30 fps and using medium-low settings, but if you add too many add ons you are going to have performance problems. Your PC would work better with FSX SE, if you do not intend to spend too much money on add ons, maybe FSX SE would be a better option to consider, without the need to update the equipment. However, if you want to improve your equipment to use P3DV4, you would basically need at least the following: 1.- A new 240Gb SSD where to install W10, leaving the HDD for P3Dv4, although P3Dv4 installs part of the add ons in C /: so a 500GB SSD would be preferable. 2.- 8GB of additional ram memory. 3.- A new GPU, at least a GTX 1660 6GB or GTX 1660Ti 6GB, with them you can fly in P3DV4 at 1080p / 2048 / 60 fps and you can use them for other games without problem. 4.- optional, both the rx570 4gb and the 1660s require a psu of at least 450W, a psu of 650W 80+ bronze or gold would be recommended for the equipment to be efficient. Regards

Hi I have P3DV4 and FSX SE, and I also use FS Real Time program. My question: When I go to install this program I only can choose a simulator, first of all I usually choose P3DV4, but I would like to use it with FSX SE therefore, How can I use fs real time with p3dv4 and fsx se? (I don't mean at the same time) Do I install the program a second time and choose FSX SE? p3dv4 and fsx must they found on the same hard drive to use the program? Thanks Regards

It is not necessary to spend a fortune to enjoy a study level simulation pc, I believe that with a 6-core processor with enough mononuclear power, for example an intel i5-9600K, 16Gb DDR4-2666, a GTX1660Ti (FHD / 60 FPS / 2048) and two SSDs, one for the operating system and one for the simulator is sufficient. This equipment would be for P3D, but if it were for FS9 / FSX we could have a good study level pc with less equipment, for example: i5-9600k, 8Gb DDR4 2666, GTX1660 6gb (FHD / 60 FPS / 1024) and two SSDs. And in both cases it is not necessary to use high settings, with medium-high settings is more than enough. regards

@zazahector From the motherboard manual: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM3+/M5A78L-M_PLUS_USB3/E11584_M5A78L-M_PLUS_USB3_UM_WEB_only.pdf so you can buy other two additional 4GB modules ( SP004GBVTU160N02 ) to reach 16gb

@zazahector Welcome!!!!! GPU If you do not want to spend a lot of money on a new graphics card, the best option today to play all games and fly in fsx se is the GTX1660 6GB, it is mid-range, full hd - 60 fps, more than enough to fsx se and its energy consumption is moderate. If you only play fsx se and you do not plan to use any other game with a GTX1050Ti 4GB it will be enough. FSX uses a lot of cpu and little gpu. Now, forgetting the gpu, I think your pc will work better in fsx se than in xplane 11, in my opinion I think you will not be able to enjoy xp11, your pc is a little bit low, especially due to ddr3 ram memory. On the other hand, XP11 uses a lot the gpu, so it needs a powerful gpu, at least GTX1660TI or GTX1070. PSU On the other hand, you have an unknown or little known brand power supply, that is, I think it is generic, if you are going to spend some money on buying new components, I highly recommend that you change your power supply because in case failure your computer may die and you will lose the investment. At least you will need a 650W psu with 80+ bronze certificate for the psu to work comfortably, in addition that AMD processor consumes too much energy. There are good brands such as corsair, evga, etc, try the calculation utility of evga psu or the pcpartpicker web, they will help you choose: https://www.evga.com/power-meter/ https://pcpartpicker.com/ RAM In the case of ram memories, to avoid having problems, all memory modules must be exactly the same, seeing the reference, the ram memories you have are of the brand ''Silicon Power'' and are a reference that I think It is no longer commercialized, at least on its website I do not see them. I found is the reference: SP004GBVTU160N02 https://www.silicon-power.com/web/es/product-28 And of course, get 16GB of ram, although to only play fsx se you only need 8Gb , your motherboard and cpu support memories of up to 1866mhz, here you have the memory compatibility with your motherboard: https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards/M5A78L-M-PLUS-USB3/HelpDesk_QVL/ I'm not sure if the RAM that you already use is compatible with your motherboard. Regards Brisafresca

@scianoir Very true, aerosoft has left the A300 abandoned, at least they should make it work with FSX SE, I never understood why. The only way to get a worthy ''A300-600'' is by combining the thomas Ruth's A300 and the add on ISG1

Be careful the simcheck A300 is only compatibility with FSX not FSX SE

@garlicbread11 I have my doubts about this, if I remember correctly the amount of fps depends on the cpu, but the speed with which the textures are loaded I don't know if it depends on the ram memory or the memory of the graphics card. Without a doubt, if you bet on a gtx1660ti you will get high filters and the quality of the image will be very clear. wait for the opinion of other people in the forum. Regards

@ckyliu Of course, a GTX1060 6GB is also recommended, my gpu is a gtx1060 6Gb and I can run FSX SE, P3DV4, XP11 and DCS decently, but at this time perhaps 1060 stock is very low and therefore is better to get a GTX1660 that has similar performance, by the way, I told about GTX1660 not GTX1660Ti, because I think Garlicbread prefer a ''good price GPU''. However the GTX1660Ti is very good GPU, similar to GTX1070 but is a little bit expensive that is way I don't recommend it to Garlicbread. Regards

@garlicbread11 Hi I understand that you usually fly FSX SE. First of all, today FSX or FSX SE only needs a low power GPU, for example: GTX750, GTX750Ti, GTX950, GTX1050Ti are enough to make fsx work decently, therefore, a GTX1050Ti 4GB is enough for FSX SE. However, I would recommend that instead of buying a GTX1050TI 4GB you will buy a GTX1650 or a GTX1660 6GB. if you upgrade from GTX950 to GTX1050Ti you will only gain a little bit of performance, besides the GTX1050Ti is already an old gpu with a little more money you can get the GTX1650 and get a bigger performance jump because the GTX1650 works like a GTX1060 3GB. https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-1650-vs-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-GeForce-GTX-950/4078vs3595vs3295 On the other hand, I would mostly recommend a GTX1660 6GB because it is the queen of the mid-range and 1080p, it yields a little bit more than the gtx1060 6GB and in the future your PC will be better prepared and you will be able to use other games. https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-GeForce-GTX-950-vs-GeForce-GTX-1660/3595vs3295vs4062 With a GTX1650 or GTX1660 6GB you don't need a new PSU. Here you have custom models: GTX1650:https://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-16/geforce-gtx-1650 GTX1660: https://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-16/geforce-gtx-1660 In short, for almost the same money it is better to get a GTX1650 and if you can stretch a little more a GTX1660.
