Yes, I had the same thing a couple of days ago. Frames were fine at 30fps on the ground, went to outside view of the left side of aircraft and frames plummeted to 11. Every other outside view and cockpit views were fine at 30, but every time I went to outside left frames dropped again. Didn't know what caused it at the time, but maybe AS beta 4? No thunderstorms at the time though, so maybe un-related.

It has been released, but not everyone is getting it at the same time via windows update. Apparently it also checks your system and won't offer the update if it feels it will be problematic. Both my Desktop PC's are not showing the update. You can download and install it manually if you want, but you could run into problems. Hope this helps.

No, you don't need it. Just rename your v5 install folder to v4 and change the registry entry for v5 to v4 (details of which reg entry to change are in the Pirep article) and it fools the PMDG installer in to thinking that v5 is actually v4. Don't forget to copy the xml.dll as detailed earlier in this thread. Also change everything back to v5 when finished.

Ok, I have my sensitivity set to 100 in P3D (Default 127) and no Null Zone. In the CDU I have 'Steering Feel' set to 'Using raw input'. But bear in mind that I have an actual Tiller Wheel, so these settings may not feel right with a joystick - you may have to experiment a bit. These settings will reduce the twitchiness but it will never feel like another aircraft or the NGX because of this new system PMDG introduced with the NGXu that most people seem to dislike. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't remember my sensitivity setting, I'll post it next time I am on P3D - hopefully not too long. Just try reducing to about 75% initially and see how it feels - it's probably an individual thing - what's right for me might not feel right to you 🙂 Just assign the joystick axis to 'steering tiller' in the P3D menu and choose Tiller in the CDU menu.

I have all my axis set up in P3D and it works well for me. FSUIPC is fine for other things such as joystick buttons etc. but I don't think it is recommended for axis setup with PMDG products. Just my opinion. If you want to stick with FSUIPC you can adjust the curve to make the axis less sensitive initially which should help.

Have you tried reducing the sensitivity of the Axis you are using in the P3D menu (options, control calibration)? that worked for me.

Thanks for correcting my post, I wasn't aware of those changes.

HI Stan Just to let you know, Gsync and Freesync are two different systems that achieve the same thing and shouldn't be used together. Gsync is developed by Nvidia and Freesync by AMD. If you have a Gsync monitor, you will need an Nvidia graphics card to use Gsync and if you have a Freesync monitor you will need an AMD graphics card. Other combinations will not work at all and shouldn't be used e.g Gsync won't work if you have a Gsync monitor and an AMD graphics card. The purpose of Gsync OR Freesync is to constantly try to match your monitor refresh with the output FPS of your graphics card for a smooth experience. This is in contrast to Vsync where a set fps of say 30 is required for it to work. So you only ever need to use one of these technologies depending on which monitor and graphics card you have. Hope this helps.

Is this a typo? Should be Alt and Enter.🙂 Maybe that's why you've got a problem? works fine here.

Not here.

Yes, at www.pirep.co. It's a free article on their new FS site. Just follow their instructions and hey presto, the NGX in v5.🙂

Yes I am talking about the NGX, and yes the method on Pirep works for the NGX. The Pirep article is not just for the NGXu, it states that it should work for any PMDG product, they just used the NGXu as an example. I am sure others have posted in other threads that they have the NGX working. So far I have tried most systems and they all work fine, apart from the weather radar that doesn't work if you are using the v5 version of Active Sky - but that is nothing to do with the porting over of the NGX - rather the new Active Sky.

Why is no one getting an answer to the SimMarket question? Have they been boycotted or what?🤔

Just followed the install advice on PIREP and it worked! Nothing else to it.

Running fine here, a number of 3 to 4 hour flights with no issues.

Wow, that is really great! Thanks very much for sharing this with us. I was recently thinking of making something like this myself - but now I don't have to🙂 Thanks again!

Do you have the latest version of ORBX Object Flow installed? If not, that can cause blurry ground textures.

Hi All Just upgraded to v5 and wow, it is so smoooooth. IMHO, one of the reasons for this might be because v-sync in the previous versions never worked properly but it is in v5! The problem is, now it is fixed you can't undock panels without the dreaded halving of frame rates. In previous versions, this only happened when you used an external frame rate limiter such as nvidia inspector, but now it happens if you just use v-sync in the sim. Before I report this to LM, I would be grateful if someone could confirm it for me by trying to un-dock say a GPS panel in one of the default aircraft. If you are using the in-sim v-sync to run at say 30fps, you should see your fps halve to 15. If you turn v-sync off, the frame rate returns to normal. I would imagine this will affect a lot of people who use v-sync and like to un-dock panels to move them to another screen e.g the GPS. If anyone else has already discovered this or knows a way around it, I would be very grateful for any help. Cheers 🙂 UPDATE: I have now found that if you turn Triple buffering ON the problem goes away but if it is OFF the frame rate halves again - very strange, but at least a solution if any one is interested !

OK, thanks again for that. I'll probably just bite the bullet and upgrade to v5 now. Can't be any worse!

Thanks so much for that!! Was the PFD the captains side? If so that is normal - it is only the F.O side that will pop up without changing a setting in the FMC pages. What effect did the NGX have on FPS and smoothness, is it better than 4.5? Thanks again for testing it so quickly.

That sounds promising! Could you do me a massive favour? Next time you fly it, could you just try the PFD and ND to see if they work and let me know. I would be extremely grateful as I could then upgrade to v5. Thanks again. 🙂

Do the pop-up displays (PFD, ND etc) work in v5? Thanks.

Thanks very much for posting that! I've been plagued with black textures since using P3D and never knew about this fix. Worked a treat 😆
