Thanks friends. I was just looking for a reason to spend money uselessly and you saved me! My head told me there wouldn't be much increase, but you know, we always are lured by the shiny new thing.

Is there any reason in P3D v3.x to upgrade from a 980Ti to the available 1080 cards? Given the cost will there be any noticeable increase in performance? For reference, I would consider a 10% frame rate increase to be clearly noticeable. Sorry if this has been asked already, and thanks for any input you can give! Bill

So true! I just did the client upgrade today and it was mostly painless. I had to find and run the Flight One GTN 750 update program, but everything else has worked fine. Thanks Elaine!

ASN16 will not work with P3D versions below 3.2.3, correct? I have been happy with 3.0 and have never upgraded. I will have to bite that bullet if I want to use ASN16, correct?

I use three monitors in a "bent back" configuration to stimulate and simulate peripheral vision as it is in a real plane. I find it much more immersive than just using one big monitor, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I use monitors with small bezels and i stopped noticing the bezels very quickly.

Thanks guys. I now have something to base my decision on.

Look at that ugly, overused Piper! Wonderful!

I am perfectly happy with 3.0. In fact I'm delighted. Is there any compelling reason to update to 3.2? If I do will I have to re-install all the Orbx and Aerosoft sceneries that I have? Educate me!

Better late than buggy.

I got a message from PCAviator that a new version was available for download and the installer was just part of the new version. The TBM is still tough on frame rates in the new version lol.

They just updated the TBM850 with a P3D v3 installer.

It's the Aerosoft Aspen on top of Orbx Global. I have plenty of other examples of that combination that don't eat my planes when they go an inch over the runway line lol. I don't have the Orbx Vector.

When my plane crosses any of the outer marker lines on the runway or taxiway it crashes in this scenery. I'm not talking about going all the way off the runway, just if a tire touches one of the lines. And it's not a small crash either. My A2A planes require extensive service in the hanger after one of these "crashes". I know, the solution is to stay inside the lines. But it is still strange. Anyone else seeing this?

This has been going on for quite some time. I have seen some posts that say maybe May or June, but even that might be optimistic at this point. The explanation has been that Saitek was moving their production facilities to save money. We shall see.

I have about exactly the same setup and it just makes P3D v3 finally live up to its potential. After years of resistance I finally switched over to P3D full time. For whatever reason the 6700k system was just superior to my 4790k system. Go 6700k and you should be very happy.
