Hi guys, Just had the same thing happen here too...most odd. Did you find a solution? Cheers, Ady

I definitely mis-read that thread title the first time I looked at it! 😮

I did wonder why you didn’t do that from the beginning. My i9-9900k and Maximus Xi Formula are running XP11 solidly and I’m now able to run much smoother and have objects to maximum. Happy camper here.

Not with X-Plane 11 or Aerofly FS2....

How are you getting on @Rob Ainscough?

Interested to see what you’re able to achieve with your setup Rob. I think the refrigeration unit will certainly help! Have a nice weekend of playing.

Hi! I'm keen to understand more about why you didn't like XP 11. Simply because I'm keen on the different perspective. I moved across to XP11 after giving it a good go and finding so much is free and built-in. Take camera angles for instance - you need to buy ChasePlane on P3D but it's built in to XP11. Take replay mode - you have to buy ChasePlane but it's built in to XP11 and is much better than ChasePlane. There's now a PMDG quality free Boeing 737. You can use Ortho4XP. Orbx have now released UK South and it's incredible. Oh yes, talking of that, I can fly over the very densely populated London scenery and land at EGLL without any issue. I can't do that on P3D without significantly decreasing settings. And let's not forget lighting - every light in XP11 is real, not a texture. I know P3D has dynamic lighting but it always killed my performance. Please understand that this is not me 'evangelising' per se, simply me pointing out what I think objectively makes XP11 a good platform. As I say, I'm keen to hear your perspective.

Whilst it's a shame, I have to say that I was quite disappointed when I met Matt at Cosford this year. I went up and introduced myself, only to be met with a highly stand-off and almost arrogant response with a hint of 'why are you bothering me?'. I'm sure that wasn't his intention, at least I hope it wasn't, but it did leave a bitter taste in my mouth. I know he's got some tough stuff going on in his private life, but I don't know why that would lead to treating people in the way he did. Meeting Chewie, on the other hand, was a thoroughly pleasant experience. Edit: After just reading Matt's post, perhaps this explains it to some degree.

I wonder if you could use Bing ZL17 orthos and get Ortho4XP to use overlay data from the Orbx package. Now that'd be nice!

This is surprising to hear - have you bumped up your AA settings with the RTX card? I'd expect you to be able to do that and maintain the same FPS you had, with the 1080ti, at a lower AA setting. That'd be logical. But computers and logic don't always go hand in hand 🙂

Haha - I've not got to that point yet. But I did manage to have a conversation that ended in me ordering an i9-9900K, an ASUS Maximus XI Formula and some Corsair Vengeance DDR4 4000MHz CL19 RAM. Also ordered one of the new EWKB Velocity waterblocks which has better performance over the Supremacy. Fingers crossed for a good bit of silicon to push to overclock!

Hi Rob, I too was looking at the 9900K as, with some decent watercooling, it should be straight-forward enough to overclock that to ~5.2GHz without too much of an issue. If I sold my 7900X and Rampge VI Apex, I'd easily be able to recoup the cost. I don't think X299 is the best platform for simming - I actually think, despite a better overclock, my simming is worse than on X99. Maybe a proper 'gaming' setup would be better. Not sure how that conversation will go down with my wife though.... lol. But you must be an expert on those conversations, given the amount of hardware you go through! What board and RAM have you gone for? I'm looking at the MAXIMUS XI Formula, with built-in EKWB VRM block, and Corsair Vengeance RGB CL19 4000MHz RAM. Regards, Ady

Rob's Titan XP is pretty much equivalent to a 1080Ti - it just an extra 1GB of RAM.

To be fair, if it was that good and viable, why has it completely disappeared? The website no longer works.

Hi all, I've been solely flying X-Plane for the last few months but have just started a reinstall of P3D so I can fly my favourite PMDG aircraft and also because, let's face it, X-Plane weather representation is really bad. I used to use Active Sky and ASCA but am now considering moving to Rex SkyForce. Could someone please tell me, does the Rex weather engine do smooth weather transitions now? I remember this being an issue when the product was first released but I'm hoping it's been resolved now? Thanks! Ady
