Try the following if you havent: Scenery Complexity: Normal Draw Distance: Very High Vegetation density: Dense Building density: dense Scenery complexity and cities seem to be a crux at the moment now, I think its just highlighting how poorly optimised some scenaries/city scapes are, London was quite brutal at higher than normal slider for complexity. It's also worth noting with people with SLI set ups, even if v5 supports it, 2x 4GB cards doesn't = 8GB VRAM with DX12.

Out of interest, when you press shft + Z twice, what is the number after the slash for GPU Memory? e.g I have XX/6.7GB atm. Looking at your signature, you have three monitors, windows allocates what it can to P3D (not LM's fault) if you're running three monitors, I suspect windows is requiring higher vram for other processes instead of giving it to P3D. I've just departed Copenhagen, flying to LAX, on vatsim using FLAi traffic, in the PMDG 747 that I moved over myself, Fly Tampa Copenhagen, sliders quite high, atmospheric effects on, REX injecting weather (it works), ORBX EU and Global, I didn't exceed 5.8GB of VRAM, I run in 4k.

If you are running an nvidia card, new drivers dropped today (445.87) and VRAM usage has dropped about 1GB. Worth checking out!

PMDG Announced Global Flight Operations at FSE 2018
liamgiles replied to Roadburner426's topic in PMDG General Forum
Understandable, obviously we don't know what you guys are planning for release, in terms of features, but one of the things I'm thinking about, depending on the data that would be exposed to us, is things like achievements (such as things like successfully recover from a failure, complete rotations etc), fpm leaderboards, general gamification of the stats outpoured. One of the things I'd really like to see implemented, is if the user isn't flying on vatsim is to create a tool that would generate traffic and flight plans based on active flights inside of Global Flight Ops. If it's not on the roadmap to offer an open API like that, then thats cool, these were just some of the things I was thinking about when I heard it would be open to developers. I may have just missunderstood what it was you meant by that. -
PMDG Announced Global Flight Operations at FSE 2018

I'm a Software Engineer, so when you mention community contributions, will there be an API/SDK with this? I have some cool ideas for things that I'd like to try and create as 3rd party integrations. -
I've never regretted my purchase of GSX, the pushback is perfect, I also love the loading feature, I know its eye candy but for me it adds to my immersion as I only really fly cargo. I agree that the marshal could be better but for the following: 1. Follow me Truck to the Gate 2. Push Back 3. Interaction with the ground services. That's just my take and what I get out of it, I set the cargo to load whilst I'm running through all of my documentation, CDU set up and all that preflight Jazz.

I'm thinking of doing a KPAE - OMDB as a 'Delivery Flight'. I'm not sure why but whenever I purchase a new boeing aircraft, I fly from KPAE to whichever airport I plan to fly from. After arriving at OMDB, I will most likely head towards ESSA.

I looked in engine failures there were none, but then I realized that this was electrical, so I cleared all failures... I now feel like an idiot. Thanks a lot, the frieghter now works and roaring like a beast, I will try the pax version just to double check. EDIT: Everything works as it should as far as I can tell now. All of this due to looking in the wrong failures section -_-

Hi, I recently upgraded my hardware (New Mobo and CPU) and it seems since then I have been having issues with the 777 regarding the left engine. It seems that it is unable to get any power output from it what so ever. I believe I've read all the documentation correctly for the start up (Tried Cold and Dark Panel State, Short and Long) But I always seem to get the same issue. After looking into the planes systems I found out why my Left Engine wasn't working properly and it seems that its just not getting the power it needs, unlike the right, which is running fine. The overhead panel looks like this: Something is definitely wrong with the left engine, is it possible that its due to my hardware upgrade? (I was able to reactivate the aircraft without an issue due to it asking for my key again after the hardware upgrade). I'm really scratching my brain here, has anyone else experienced this? Am I doing something obviously wrong? Regards.
-
Great News I'm unfamiliar with the way you guys do the Service Packs, will I need to 'reactivate' on update? I've used my license twice (Hardware Upgrade asked for the key again). Will I need to remove the key using the FMC or will the Ops Centre handle it all?

My current system specs are as followed: OS: Windows 8.1 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.40GHz MEMORY 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 TI SSC I'm under an ongoing upgrade and I'm replacing the CPU next and the GPU following that. I am thinking of getting the new i7 4770K along with the h100 cooler from Corsair (planning to do some slight OCing). Will I notice much of a performance increase in FSX/P3D and X-Plane with swapping these processors alone?
-
All 'issues' that I have come across were actually my fault, not the T7.
-
Unplugging tabbing back out then plug in and tab in fixes it for my saitek yoke. But other than that minor annoyance the 777 works fine on my win8.
-
No issues using the PMDG 777 on Windows 8 for me. 30fps (Nvidia nspecter lock at 30).
-
I think these are #1 priority for sp1
-
I find these type of questions really silly. You can't really compare two different simulations of two different aircraft.
-
I'm halfway there xD, atm I'm flying it for personal use
-
Agreed, the manuals are such high quality, a great deal of information in them.
-
So far I'm loving it, getting 35-40fps in cruise and 20ish on the ground. The systems and sounds are just incredible. Well worth the £58.
-
Sounds like torture, maybe there were some hiccups in the assembly line . I believe my expected delivery isn't until the 30th EDIT: I just bit the bullet and bought it early Will be flying KPAE - EGFF for the first flight
-
I may try this, bought a Retina MacBook Pro last week.
-
Please, how could you know when the T7 is out. It's not like you work at PMDG.

I'm going to be THAT guy and ask... Can we get some Hi-Res wallpapers please ?
