Finally some love to AMD cards. Improved my performance by more than 50% on average on my R9 390. Sitting at the runway at ESMS with the default C172, clear weather, 13:00 in the beginning of January now gives about 35 FPS instead of 22 FPS as I had in previous betas. Edit: Most things at high, textures max, reflections minimal, no ground shadows. Taking a huge FPS hit (roughly 30-50%) if I increase reflections to low, a bit unexpected considering I have a 4960X @ 4.3 GHz.

Also experiencing horrible framerate with my R9 390 8 GB. It doesn't really seem to matter what settings I am running at, I am always getting 10-30 FPS depending on weather and location. Clearly there's something which is truly bottlenecking the AMD cards. With my now returned (faulty VRAM) GTX 1070 8 GB I could easily maintain 30+ FPS at all times with slightly higher settings! This is paired with a 4960X @ 4.3 GHz and 48 GB DDR3 1866 MHz memory.

Merry Christmas!

That last picture is just so realistic

It sure is. Make sure you're running Prepar3d in "high performance" in order to use the AMD card. You can change this in the catalyst control panel

Together with scattering it does indeed look really good!

Radeon R9 M295X is a mobile GPU, which is quite similar to the R9 280X desktop GPU. From a graphics standpoint this is quite a downgrade from your GTX 780.

It is the global version. You can change which regions you have installed/downloaded at any time

That's simply not true. Things like long rendering distance require lots of RAM, but not that much of CPU and GPU. The big problems with 64-bits are obviously all addons which won´t be compatible and the amount of development time it will take to "convert" Prepar3d.

While it certainly looks good for being default scenery, it's just so far off from good OSM coverage (with World2XP) + photo scenery. Quality and accuracy cost (in framerate), but if you have a beefy computer that´s no problem.

That's why they invented peer-to-peer! As seen in many game launchers, and of course torrents.

Looks much better now after the latest changes. Astonishing work!

Hi Tony, First, thank you for your hard work, it really looks amazing already and with the features you have planned I am sure it will look even better! Now to the error. I tried to generate Sweden, which was successful and I installed the three required libraries (OpenSceneryX, ff_library, R2_Library). However when I load X-Plane it complains about a missing object. It generates the following in X-Plane's error log: My scenery_packs.ini looks as the following: X-Plane still loads just fine.

Probably because your CPU is more powerful compared to your GPU. Prepar3d is optimised like most modern 3D applications, which are more dependent on the GPU (which is far more powerful at parallel loads).

Even that is incorrect. There's CPUs which belongs to the i5 and i3 series which has HT (hyper threading) as well. This is usually the case for i5 mobile CPUs found in laptops, 2 cores, 4 threads.
