My god, I laughed an awful lot at that!

Thanks for this! You’re right. Frankly I’ll be happy to run the sim in 720p if it would push up the frames. I’ve only ordered two 40hz Samsung HD Monitors so frankly anything too intense won’t make a difference anyway. I think I’m being overtly worried about something I’ve spent a lot of money on. I should suspect I’ll be fine!

Thanks for this seriously in depth reply. I really appreciate it. What sort of frame rate do you think I can expect from FSX or P3Dv5 with my set up? Ball park figures would be appreciated. Obviously I appreciate I'd probably struggle with a PMDG 777 at LHR with Orbx England and GSX running, I'm a little concerned I haven't done my research quite well enough here.

Fair enough, I didn’t realise P3D was so resource intensive! I’ll stick to FSX!

Hi all! So this is my first post on AVSIM. I've been an avid simmer for years, but I had been running FSX (along with a medley of addons) at about 15 FPS on a 2015 Lenovo desktop until 2017 when the processor literally melted. Three years later, I've bitten the bullet and bought a pre-built PC (my tech skills aren't quite up to building one myself). The specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G - 4-Core 3.7GHz, 4.2GHz Turbo 1TB Seagate BarraCuda SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4/3000mhz ASUS A320M-K: M-ATX Motherboard 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU630 2.5" SSD GeForce GTX 1660 - 6GB Obviously not looking for any criticism or suggestions on the hardware here as the PC has already been ordered; however, I am just wondering whether I should stick to FSX:SE (and my Orbx, UK2000, Aerosoft and PMDG addons) or invest in P3D? Ideally, I'm looking for performance related pros and cons here, as FSX does everything I want it to in terms of realism. Regardless, looking forward to getting up into the virtual skies in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, Josh
