thank you for all the input I appreciate it!

Thanks for all the feedback! I sure don't mind not cranking the settings up in p3d. I can keep sliders in the middle. I just want more aircraft functionality in the ga aircraft which is why the g1000 stationair appeals to me I also would like some good vfr eye candy. The orbx global and vector with some airport add-ons look to make that possible.

Yeah I really like the flight models and lighting in xplane but as an eye candy vfr guy. It's very very lacking. World2xplane is helping but it's still far from accurate and appealing. I want to get the carenado 206 with the g1000 and the carenado pa34 as my primary aircraft. I would like 30 fps which is my adaptive half refresh rate goal and the magic number for me as far as fluid fps. I just enjoy the vfr eye candy.

I have a great setup for xplane. Specs below. I run xplane with pretty high settings and stays locked at 30 fps with hdr on 4xssaa with most planes I fly including the carenado HD series like the b1900. however I'm a vfr guy. I love eye candy. How well would my system perform with p3d? I was a long time fsx user until a few years ago. I know there are several tweaks for it but are those relevant anymore with p3d? I wanted to get the following products as a base: Orbx global ftx Orbx vector Real environment essentials plus Ksna from simmarket ( I fly on pilotedge all the time) Carenado b1900 and kingair. I thought this would give me a good base for flying around and enjoying the eye candy but I wonder about my fps. Specs: 4790k @4.4 Corsair h75 water cooler 16gb 1866 ram Titan 6gb superclocked card 27" 1920x1080 monitor. Trackir 5

ok, whats the "You have the highmemfix=1 entry?" and would FSX perform better on my machine than P3D??

my PC specs are: core i7 3930K at 4.0 GTX Titan Superclocked 16 gb vram asus x79 sabertooth not sure its hardware related.

So I bought the dev version of p3d 2 and I still had orbx NA CALIF and I bought the b1900 from Carenado. Installed everything up medium settings as far as p3d goes…normal autogen, normal trees, no traffic, tessellation at medium, etc…very middle of the road. Went to KRNT on the runway. 15 FPS. With my rig, I was expecting a LOT more out of it than that. Does the cfg file require the same fsx tweaks?? I mean with my hardware, I run x-plane almost maxed out with the FF 757, a320 neo, etc….and keep at almost a constant 30 fps. What am I missing? Why such a low FPS??

I think if the dev version supports addons I will give it a shot. what about delivery options? Is it boxed or can I download p3d?

based on the graph on the p3d site on licensing options, It doesnt list "simulation" as a green check mark so before I purchase the dev option can anyone confirm that you can use the program and all addons that are compatible with the dev version of the software?

Well I just saw that 2.2 was released today for P3D but it looks like the dev version doesnt allow for simming. Is this true? im just torn because p3d 2.2 looks great and I did have my reservations with FSW but a few addon airports, orbx global, and REX texture direct with a good engine seems the way to go. I still have my FSX disks and if I recall I still have the REX essentials with overdrive. So my purchases would be minimal. Maybe 150 to get up and running again. Would I need to run all those tweaks again to the config file? If so, is there a program that automatically does the tweaks based on your system? I seem to remember one out there that did that. Also, could someone please tell me if the dev version of P3D does allow for the full program experience because their website says it does not.,

wow so the dev version is just 9.95 to test the wates? Can I add on the REX Direct and any compatible addons for P3D or is it limited to what you can do? I LOVE x-plane as far as sloped runways, hdr, turbulence effects, etc...it just doesnt have all the great feel of actually flying over a real city that I miss so much.

So here is my dilemma….I have a pretty powerful computer and have been looking at p3d 2.1 for a bit now but the price is high and its very buggy. I have been an x-plane user since v10 came out and while I enjoy it immensely, it just feels like I am alone in the skies and on ATC. I was thinking of coming back to FSX with the following addons: ORBX Global REX Texture Direct REX Essentials PROATC for FSX WorldofAI A few addon airports such as KSAN and KSFO to start. Carenado 1900 and phenom Airbus extended My question is, with my system, would it be worth it??? System specs below: I7 3930K at 4.0 16 GB ram GTX TITAN OC’ed Sabertooth x79 What are your thoughts? Would I need to run all the old school FSX tweaks again? I remember there were TONS of config tweaks, etc…..

well what I was saying is i have xplane 64-bit already and I love the HDR environment and the great add on planes but it seems like there's just more scenery and better scenery now with FSX and all the payware stuff. Rex extreme coupled with gex and orbx looks amazing. and with orbx world coming soon..... basically I am asking will my system run FSX pretty much maxed out with the best payware airplanes like the 737 NGX

hey guys I use to play FSX a long time ago but went to xplane 10 about a year ago.xplane 10 has a lot of greatneat features but I was recently looking at FSX again and noticed all the great add ons it has. gex Extreme utx orbx and the great pmdg and captainsim aircraft. with my system below and all those add ons with FSX can I expect pretty good frame rates in most areas? I don't plan on flying using any Ai aircraft I plan on flying on vatsim most of the time. Asus x79 3930k i7 oced to 4.2 Gtx 680 4gb 16 gb 1600 ram 27 imch acer at 1920x1080 Windows 7 64 bit premium with that system can I fly the planes like the 737 NGX or the MD 11 without much problem into heavy airports?
