Agree completely, C182 is flawless and gorgeous. ALSO cannot wait for Turbine Duke v2! Zooming plane ready to receive my GTN 750

I never could get the aileron trim set on a rotary on my x-55, ended up assigning it to the hat switch on the stick instead. At first I didn't like it cause I would press the hat switch many times before any results, but then I figured out you can just hold the switch down in whichever direction and it goes rapidly. Anywho. If you find out how to assign it to a rotary that'd be sweet. Good luck.

Greetings, I was in the same situation you are in. I'm an SLI guy and forever loved my Gigabyte Windforce OC'd 670s, they were beast. And getting into this sim really changed that. Well, this and Star Citizen. I actually opted for the MSI Gaming edition GTX 980s, and with them overclocked (Yes, only using one card for p3d but for everything else SLI applies) I'm quite happy. In case you haven't heard, when you get your new card/s you should delete the contents of the shader folder and recompile them for your new cards. I was quite disappointed when I just popped in these new cards and destroyed every other game and then saw no improvement at all in p3d. The shader trick fixed that However, after the shader trick, I have literally every slider maxed out with the obvious exception of traffic. I agree with your assessment that 20-25fps can seem smooth depending on how stutter-iffic it is. I have all FTX regions installed many of their NA airports, and some resource-hog Carenado planes, and with all graphics/lighting/shadow tick box/water reflections/ MAXED OUT I am getting about 20-25fps flying over PDX or and Seattle, and that is with road traffic at 15%, both water traffics set to 75%, airliner traffic 15%, and general aviation at 50%. Any other time out in the wilderness and sight-seeing the frames are between 35-50fps which seems truly unreal coming from the 25-30 range. This is running the game on a 2560x1600 native res Dell monitor and using the DSR trick to bump it up to 3620 x 2263 with MSAA x8 and Anisotropic Filtering set to 16. Also with my cards I have my CPU OC'd to 4.4Ghz so I think that may help. Anyways, I almost got the 970s because of how fond I am/was of my 670s, but ultimately decided on the MSI Gaming edition 980s and am blown away by how fast and QUIET they are. Did you hear me?! I SAID THEY ARE QUIET!!! Hopefully you enjoy whatever you end up purchasing, and happy simming to you.

Running the game native 2560x1600 and have the DSR set to 1.5/2/4 and all other settings in NV control panel and in-game the same as outlined. I notice that going up to higher res puts a sort of FXAA feeling effect on the game, which is nice. When I run at native res with MSAA x4 there are a lot of jaggies (I'm guessing "shimmering" is the new term for jaggies, or no? Only started seeing "shimmering" lately) on the hard edges of the plane. Before the DSR trick I was running with FXAA enabled and it really helped that out. Anywho, using DSR resolutions with FXAA enabled is glaringly gross, and then disabling it reverts the game to the same-ish look that playing it at native res with FXAA enabled did. That was probably worded horribly but hopefully you understand what I mean. Going Alt-Enter to cycle back and forth between native and DSR I think that native is clearer but jaggier, DSR is smoother but not "clearer". Eh. It is cool though and maybe there are settings I'm overlooking. Anyways thanks for the how-to!

Hello all, I'm new to the community and flight simming. I was wondering where the realair simulations forum is? In particular I was wondering if there is a timetable for the turbine duke they've mentioned on their site a month ago? Take care.

Cool travel log. I have the Carenado B200 King Air HD and I'm looking forward to trying out this new RealAir Turbo.

Thanks for that info, Gavin. I had tried the earlier suggestion and would still get my x55 and pedals to drop out of P3D occasionally. Went through the Device Manager list and sure enough, 2 of the USB ports had the tick marks checked. BZ to you, good sir. Mike D.
