I've never tried the FSX Steam Edition. But I did some changes in P3DV3. Turned off mipmap VC panels, set the low resolution in PMDG performance settings and limited the fps to 22. It's better now, I don't care much about the fps counter, it feels smooth for me. But with default scenery and textures. The final words, I think I will try FSX SE.

Well, while I was using FSX, I was getting an OOM on almost every flight. And I can't afford a new GPU or a new system now. So I think it's better to stick with v2.5 or v3.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using pmdg ngx and get these results, but no other addons like sceneries.

Hello everyone. I finally got the V3. After reading many reviews about the improvements in V3, I was so excited to try it. I have no addons installed, only PMDG ngx . All vanilla, fresh install of V3. I loaded a flight with all default settings, I was getting stutters. Then lowered my settings in sim, and made some changes in NV inspector, it became better. But the problem is, I see %99 of GPU load all time, while CPU is around %40 and %50. I've got a FX6300 OC'ed to 4.2 and factory OC'ed 660Ti. I'm thinking about the Affinity Mask setting, will it help? And is it normal using %99 of GPU with low-mid settings with my gpu? Thanks

Hi everyone. I've got a texture problem with freeware sceneries which are rendered for FSX. In where I live and fly mostly, there are just freeware sceneries and all are old. So there are some problems with textures as you can see in the pic below. Any suggestions about it? Is there a way to fix? I have the same problem in several freeware airports, not just this one.

Alright guys thanks for responses :smile:

Hi all. I've got a question about VATSIM on xplane. ( I'm not sure IVAO's working on xplane) Let's pretend we're flying on VATSIM on xplane. Are we able to see the other users using FSX or P3D? Or are we just allowed to see the Xplane users traffic only? It's a bit silly question but I want to know. Thanks

Just finished a 2 hour flight without any problems. It's really weird. The problem seems gone. Anyway, I'm planning to do a clean reinstall if the issue still occurs. Thanks for the suggestions Vic.

I set the FSUIPC to display the remaining VAS like you said. After 1 hour of flying, I was about to land but I couldn't so I decided to go around. Then while I was declaring a missed approach to ATC, p3d has stopped working. The VAS remaining according to FSUIPC was 1969680. I assume it's about 1.9 gigs, right? So if I'm right and 1.9gigs of memory was still available, what 'causes the sim to stop working? (I'm using Pro Atc X as the atc software and FSGRW for weather too)

Hi everyone. Yesterday I was about to do a flight. I've never worried about OOM's because I haven't got one since that day. I took off and after 1 hour of flying, I've started descent. While descending and getting close to airport, I got an OOM. Only thing I looked was the Windows task manager and it said 3.90 memory is in use. So I've started to concern a bit and downloaded ProccessExplorer to see how much memory uses P3D. This time, I made a shorter flight. While I was at the gate, it was about 1.1 GB. I landed successfully without an OOM and the memory usage was 1.5GB for P3D and 3.6 in task manager. Only addons I use are just the departure and arrival airports and NGX. No REX, ORBX or anything like that. So I want to ask is it normal that P3D uses 1.1 GB at while at gate? And is there a limit of it? Like "if it hits 2gb you'll get an OOM probably". Thanks.

Nothing. I'm just setting the weather in P3D startup screen

Hello everyone. Using P3D version 2.5 with hotfix 4 ( I believe the latest ) I've noticed an annoying issue about sky textures. Mine setup is all default except some addon airports, planes and Pro atc. I haven't got anything about sky replacement programs. When flying at dusk and dawn and looking around, the sky colors are changing instantly. I post 2 images to show the difference. http://i.hizliresim.com/JYPBEJ.png http://i.hizliresim.com/RYdRXY.png Of course there will be change of sky colors but I think it's more than usual. What do you think about it? Is it normal and I'm thinking wrong?

I've just tried it out and it worked. Thanks for your quick response and solution.

Hi everyone. I have a problem with Taxi2Gate LTBA addon scenery. Problem only occurs at night times and only at this airport. I'm adding some images to show you. http://i.hizliresim.com/pgZE4L.png http://i.hizliresim.com/pgZEvL.png Edit: I couldn't figure out how to add s-image so I added as URL. ( High resolution images) Only scenery addon I installed is FTX Global and this airport. My card is Nvidia GTX660Ti. I used to use this scenery in FSX with no problems. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Man it's unbelievable! Just changed the value from 0 to 1. I was suffering around 20 fps in PMDG's aircrafts and I couldn't find a tweak makes a major difference until now. My frames up to 30 (locked) and still I can not believe it. I was struggling with this for a long time. Thank you so much!

I've installed 347.52 and I haven't seen any issues so far. Also the runway lightning is working at nights.

Just updated my driver to 347.52 and got the supersampling working :rolleyes: thanks for all of your advices.

Hello all, Currently I'm using 344.75. On the older versions, there was the blue squares problem when tesellation enabled as I remember. And on the later versions ( 347 series guess) the runway lights weren't working on nights. So now, which is the best driver for you right now? Which has lesser problems? Thanks

Tried your suggestions, but still it doesn't working at all :( Anyway, can you tell me a program that I can limit my frames externally? Because when I limited it in internal limiter, my frames down so much.

Hi all. I'm making a switch from fsx to P3D. On fsx I've lock my frames to 20 and set vsync 1/3 of refresh rate, and I'm getting a smooth flight experience. I tried to do it on P3D, created a new profile for it, and selected prepar3d.exe. I did the changes then apply the settings and close N.I. But there's no difference on the sim. My frames are still unlimited and AA is not working. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

+1 for me. I really appreciate your hard working Rob, and I'm so happy being into this community.

Hi all. On Prepar3D 2.4, no matter which aircraft I use or which city I'm in, when I reset the flight from the menu, it rolls back to the default scenery with default plane (F35 I think) Any way to change it? Thanks

Is rex supported for xplane 10? Offical site says it's just for xplane 9. I'll try the HD Mesh Scenery, I didn't know that it also changes the landclass, autogen etc.

Hi all, I'm new on XPX. I was using FSX and P3D with ORBX and UTX. Both made my sim looks great. X plane's scenery is a bit different as I see. I wanted to ask about is there a program that changes the scenery textures ( not mesh) like ORBX for fsx? Thanks a lot.

According to X-Plane, how much realistic the flight dynamics? With a default 747 I can do a half barrel roll :blink: Just wondering how much realistic it is. Is it possible to happen in real?
