Huge Xplane fan, and even though XP12 is currently not enjoyable to me (shimmering/flickering due to poor AA in VR), I feel great about investing my $60 into the future of XP. It would be great for Ben to post a Blog about plans to improve AA as I agree with some of the posts above that this is one of the major shortcomings with the release. Goran, I hope the update you are working on is to bring the TBM to XP12 as this remains one of the masterpieces for Xplane. Happy Holidays to all.

I believe there are some scenery items (cranes, etc.) in the Oakland Harbor that need to be deactivated. As you were flying out of Hayward, which is close by, these were probably loading. Do a search in the forums and I believe you will find some posts on this subject. Jim I think these are the culprit files. I cannot find the post, but I have all these bgl files deactivated in my Orbx NCA05 scenery folder: FTX_NCA_objects_CA_Oakland.BGL.OFF FTX_NCA_objects_SRA_marinas_ships_docks_PLC.BGL.OFF FTX_NCA_objects_windfarms_CA_PLC.BGL.OFF FTX_NCA_objects_windfarms_CA_PLC_addtl_animated.BGL.OFF FTX_NCA_objects_windfarms_CA_PLC_addtl_static1.BGL.OFF FTX_NCA_objects_windfarms_CA_PLC_addtl_static2.BGL.OFF Jim

I am typically a GA flyer in good weather. I have a friend coming over to do some simulated IFR approaches. With my typical settings, when I add weather my FPS slows to a crawl. I am wondering which sliders I can adjust that will have the biggest impact to FPS given that most of time we will not even be able to see the ground? Feedback from other IFR flyers appreciated. Thanks Jim

I am planning to upgrade to a 4K TV as a monitor. I am looking at the 40" Samsung 6500. My question is, I currently have a GTX 770 which I know will not do 4k, but how bad will the picture look if I run 1920x1080 and have the TV upscale (basically double) the resolution until I can budget the 980ti upgrade? Thanks. Jim

Just completed a great multiplayer flight from KPAO to KRDD in v3.0. While enroute we tried to tune in the ATIS for KRDD and it never came in. After we landed and disconnected the multiplayer session, it immediately started to play. Can anyone else confirm this is happening or have any suggestion on a setting that might need to be changed? Best regards. Jim

I am in the same boat, Win 10 is downloaded and ready to install, but I am hesitant because everything is working great right now. If you upgrade to Win 10, do you have to reinstall P3D? Thanks. Jim Oops, just realized this was in the FSX forum. Sorry.

Can someone please confirm if you need to remove the cloud fix before doing the patch process?

Thanks Rob! Saved me hours. I was on .10438. I backed up the folders you recommended, and then deleted the folders you recommended, ran the patch, and I am up and running great. I had to copy back in the DLL (and disable Objectflow as well as FSUIPC), and also the dll entry or ASN. TrackIR is working fine. Thanks again Rob. We should connect sometime and fly multiplayer. I live the Bay Area and fly Cessna's out of RHV. Best regards. Jim

So I have been away from flight Sims for about five years and P3D restoked my interest. I just finished building a new system with a 4770k and a nv770 and I just sprung for P3D. I have been following this thread with great interest. So it seems the only tweak necessary is AF. What is the optimal setting for a 4770k with HT off? My FPS is great, but it does seem that texture loading is a little slow? Jim
