I did try various Affinity Masks when I used HT on, based on your previous posts, but I could never find a sweet spot and it always caused more stuttering. I use a moderate overclock of 5.0 Ghz to allow a lower vcore setting and lower temps so when I do use HT the temps are still well within spec. What would you recommend as a starting point for these settings with a 9900K and HT on, if it's not too much bother? I was going to try: AffinityMask=65493P3DCoreAffinityMask=65493MainThreadScheduler=0RenderThreadScheduler=1FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=2

I'm considering turning HT on with my 9900K and messing around with these settings. It always used to make the performance worse on my setup but maybe now I can use it to positive effect. Interested to hear how you get on!

Understood, but shouldn't they be applied automatically during winter months? Or do you have to select them manually when you want to use them?

According to f.skywalkers post they aren't : 'Around the Airport i have snow with Orbx, the Airport is green'

This was the item in the description I was referring to: Seasonal textures of background and custom (no default) vegetation for all 4 seasons (to come in later patch)

On their website description if says seasonal textures will 'come in a later patch' whenever that may be.

I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions I have? Do the cockpit windows have rain and icing effects and can the main flight display units and CDU be undocked like the PMDG? Thanks for any help.

I have been getting really annoying 'Long frame' stutters for a few weeks and tried everything to get rid of them without success. I was just about to completely wipe my computer and start again when I saw this thread and read your comment. I have always had Draw Distance set to Medium as I saw a thread a long time ago recommending this but I thought I will check it just in case. Somehow it was set to 'High', so I returned it to 'Medium' and guess what, stutters gone!! Thanks for the timely reminder (Not using VR by the way).

I finally received a reply from Justsim today (9 weeks later). Apparently the SimMarket installer (which is faulty) will be updated with a working version 'soon'. In the meantime I was provided with a download link for the missing textures. I installed them and it fixed the 3D grass but still no runway approach or centre lighting and no taxi way green centre lighting - is this correct for Rhodes? I would have thought not. Anyway a step forwards I suppose.

Could I ask how you achieve this? I know how to use an affinity mask to limit the number of cores and restrict certain cores from being used by P3D but I don't know how to force the main thread to use a certain core.🤔

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much. If only we could get the 3D grass sorted out, the ground textures look so bland without it. Thanks again.

Ahh well, just another developer to add to my 'won't spend another penny on their products' list, even when they do come crawling back to P3D because Microsoft and the Gaming fraternity have grown bored of the new kid. Not that I ever bought any of their 'outdated' products anyway 🙃. Justsim are currently topping my list - moan over.

I have my volumetric clouds looking really good now, but I never seem to get more than one layer between about 3 to 8 thousand feet, I have certainly never seen anything like your screen shot! I have even set maximum cloud layers in AS to 15 and still the same. Also never see any Cirrus clouds - is this normal and maybe being addressed by LM or AS? I also notice that the top level of the one cloud layer I do get is flat, no clouds sticking up above others. Again is this normal or am I missing something. Thanks for any help or info.

Me too!

Anyone tried the new Active Sky Beta 7893? Any improvements worth having?

Unfortunately, this only works if you have the version for 4.4 which I don't. Any chance someone who has got it could copy these files and somehow make them available to download, as the developer clearly has no interest in solving this or P3D in general. Cheers.

You don't really 'Flare' a 737, it's more like flying it onto the runway with approx 2 to 3 degrees nose up pitch. If you flare too much, the increased drag and loss of lift would cause it to drop and land heavily. Also, how much fuel do you have in the tanks when you land? Just a few thoughts that might help 🙂

The zero shouldn't cause a problem, You need to tick the 'Control to repeat when held' box. Hope this helps.

I see this and I have Dynamic reflections turned off! In the most part I think it looks very realistic. Sometimes I think simmers spend so much time sat at a screen they forget what the real world looks like.

That is exactly what I replied to them, to which I was quoted a mouth full of small print and told in no uncertain terms - no authorisation from JustSim, no refund. Quote "All sales are final - No Refunds will be given" I think people need to be aware that this is SimMarkets policy on refunds - I will certainly think twice before purchasing anything on their website again. Unfortunately, a lot of products are only available from them so maybe I will be cutting off my nose to spite my face.

So, after SimMarket said my support ticket had been forwarded to the vendor, I replied saying I didn't want that, I just wanted a refund. They have now replied to say that I have to contact JustSim to get them to send permission to SimMarket to give the refund. How am I supposed to do that when they are not replying to anyone for months? This is crazy and getting very frustrating - my contract of sale was with SimMarket not JustSim. I have replied telling them it is not my responsibility and they should contact JustSim but I am not holding out much hope. All just passing the buck. The future of P3D support I fear.

I was waiting to see what response I get, but then I will be writing a review! The green taxiway lights and blue edge lights are also not working. I will certainly think twice before purchasing any more Justsim products, which is a shame because they are generally pretty good.

Same with mine although I specifically asked for a refund ☹️

The one I purchased was v2, released on the 27/02/21 - I believe v1 purchasers are offered an upgrade. There is nothing at all in the DOC folder and yes I downloaded and installed twice with the same outcome. There is clearly a problem with the installer but Justsim appear to be totally uninterested in resolving or even speaking about it.

I didn't even get a manual when installing the latest version - the DOC folder was empty along with all the SODE texture folders!
