I have gotten the sim back up and running by deleting the configs. Where is the scenery config located? Thanks Jim, looks like the guide has me up and running. Going to trouble shoot a little more and look through rest of guide for best practices. Thanks again Bob

P3D V3.2 is crashing to desktop as it starts to load scenery. I noticed that the P3D config file was named Prepar3D.exe.config I removed it and it did not write a new config file. Running windows 10, 4790K, GTX 970 Nothing new has been added in the last week or so. Was working on FSUICP macros last few days but thats about it. I updated the client to version 3.3.5 and this allowed me to activate and the sim started but everything was drawn very slowly. I let it finish and then restarted and it crashed to desktop just as before. I have looked through the long list of posts, not sure where to start. Just found the CTD guide, looking at it now If I have to reinstall the application do I have to reinstall all third party scenery and aircraft with the original installers or can I grab folders and files.

Have a Evga 750B have to run the numbers and see if it can handle it.

Hello all, still trying to figure strategy for new displays or display. Have almost decided on a 65"4k. Still wold love the wrap around of 3 40" plus displays at 1080p but not sure I want to deal with keeping them configed. Question is can I run my GTX 970 along side a 1060/1070/1080? New GPU powering 4K and 970 for additional monitors and such. Thanks Bob

David, What type of frame rates and smoothness are you getting with that setup? Gerard, Interesting question I was thinking the same thing. Do you think it would be better to buy a GTX 1080 to go along with my GTX 970 or two more 970's? I currently have 4 monitors hooked to one GTX 970 (believe it is a SC). 47" 1080p TV as main display 40"1080p TV as overhead and two 24" 1080p monitors for instruments. PMDG 737 is primary aircraft. 4790K 4.0 (need to OC, but don't know how, time to start reading) I have just started reading on how to optimize for smoothness and stable non stuttering frame rates. With default scenery and almost maxed sliders I get around 45fps. With ORBX Meigs Field frames drop below 17 and stutters increase to point of not really usable without putting in time to see if I can optimize it. Added infinity mask and threw in a random number and the frames jumped up to mid 20's. Think I might have also added FFTF=0.01 also, it was late. Need to decided on main display setup so I can start building it out. Thanks Bob

Hello all... I was wondering if you can run P3D v3 with a triple 4K tv setup at lower settings till I get video cards that will support triple 4k monitors. I need to get the structure built and that requires having the displays. I really want to run triple monitors but 4k is amazing and I only have a single 970 at the moment. So, can I run the 4k TV's at 1080p to start and then be able to step up to 1440 then ultimately 4K as I increase GPU power. CPU is a 4790K 4.0 not overclocked yet. Has anyone tried multiple GTX 1080 to see if they will power triple 4K setup? Thanks Bob

Very nice Gerard. Are you using a TVs for the 40" and 2 32"? The 32's sit to the right of the 40? Interesting Bob

Thanks for all of the input. very impressive setup basementflyguy. With the Dell 34" will a single GTX 970 drive it at usable frame rates? Will I see a performance increase worth the money of a second GTX 970 in SLI? Thanks

I know this is a pretty subjective question but sick of spending money to realize I went the wrong direction. Looking for the most immersive display experience I can hobble together. I have around $1k of money for displays that will only be used for flight and racing sim. 4790K 4.0Mhz, GTX 970 P3D v3.2 Samsung 47" 1080p LCD. Thoughts on which is more immersive. I have the room to build curved screen for projector just don't want to go triple projector route yet. Would a 2nd GTX970 help any of these setups or is better to wait for next gen of cards? Thanks
