Cool it'll be more like P3D then! I am currently getting consistent 40 FPS on ultra. i'll take a dip in FPS to get PMDG.

Here's my view on it. I was an alpha and beta tester so knew what to expect. P3D is still 100% my airliner, IFR sim for now. MSFS changed my interests a bit though. I never do any typical VFR flights in small aircraft in P3D... NEVER. With MSFS, I find myself hopping in a GA aircraft and exploring or doing short cross country flights. For me, P3D is for airliner flights and the flight levels, and MSFS for low level (mostly) VFR flying in smaller aircraft and potentially some flying in the teens or low FL with the TBM etc. Once MSFS gets the PMDG and other releases, then it will be a game changer.

I tried all of the recommended tricks. was stuck at the 20% blue bar. tried at least 5 times but the same every time. then, from the start menu, I right clicked and ran as administrator. finally launched and is now downloading. not sure if I am just lucky or what.... 90GB to go in the download. crossing my fingers.

I think it's an issue with auto throttles. The reason I think this is because I did a flight starting with engines running (not cold and dark) and when I turned on the auto throttles while take the runway power went to max. clicked off the AT and it fixed it. Turned on the AT once off the ground and everything continued per normal.

having an issue where, when after engine start up, it goes to 100% power regardless of input and cannot be reduced. Anyone else having this issue? FYI - if I do not start from cold and dark (engines already running at the start of the sim) I do not have this issue.

Just for reference, here is my system - running V5: I9-9900k 2080ti 32GB DDR4 3200 2 GB m.2 49" CRG9 I use all ORBX products, PMDG, Captain Sim, QW 787. Most add on airports from the big creators, FlyTampa, FSDT, ORBX, etc. ENVSHADE, ENVTEX, ASP3D. No live traffic. I tend to fly with most settings at high or ultra. CPU usually runs below 60 degrees max.

I run a 2080ti, but am encountering VRAM issues. What settings or add ons kill VRAM the most?

Restarted my computer and it seemed to fix the issue but then I noticed that hi res ground textures wuoldn't load. not sure what is going on.

I haven't had a single CTD with V5 until today. Now, I can't even get beyond pushback without a CTD. Got a message that graphics memory is out... running a 2080ti.... tried multiple aircraft. Just updated to Beta 4 of ASP3D.... thought that was it so shut it down. Still, same issue. I have made no other changes. Very strange.

My i9-9900k runs at about 55 max in P3D. V4 and V5. I have most settings to ultra.

I've seen these on lots of videos. What program it this? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqAVIzvkKWxIj8Mk09ZVjyqkD7iuWg?e=iNiwf6

I have a 49" CRG9. I usually do 2/3 of the screen as cockpit and the other 1/3 of the screen for external, wings views, etc. For some reason in V5, chaseplane does not work in the undocked window. Anyone else experience this issue?

Over the years, I have owned several different weather and texture add ons. Now that I am moving to V5, I want to refresh my brain on what the best options are. Currently ASP3D installed along with ENVSHADE and ENVTEX. Used to use REX products, but I don't think those are available with V5 yet. What are the best weather/texture/shader combos for V5 at this point?

I am ready to fully uninstall V4 and all add ons now that I have V5 up and running. What is the best way in order to ensure all add ons, etc?

I don't use ATC as I plan my flights out after checking current active runways, etc online. Is there any way to activate progressive taxi to a specific runway another way? Does GSX have any of this functionality?

I've got everything sorted. Really loving the monitor. It's just amazing. Here is my current setup but the full screen cockpit is also fantastic, pulling lots of scenery out the side windows. https://photos.app.goo.gl/bwUh1Zp356DPhXQa8

Got everything sorted. for some reason "undock" wasn't working before but it seems to ok now. Here's a shot of my current setup. I also really enjoy the full screen cockpit as the viewing perspective brings in lots of surrounding scenery as well. https://photos.app.goo.gl/J1DhsQkAwTLpJbzT7

I lived in Europe for a few years so tended to do most of my sim flying over there since I was getting familiar with new airports. Now that I am back in the US, I am looking to add more here to make for new flying. What are the best airports to have in the US? Here's what I currently have: FSDT IAH, ORD V2, DFW, LAS. FlyTampa BOS. Flightbeam SFO-HD, DEN, IAD. ORBX PSP, AVX, JAC, MRY, SAN, STS, SBA, TVL. I don't have anything for the NY area -- I had drzewiecki but I haven't installed it since doing my new build - any other recommendations there? Any other major airports that are really good?

Oh, sorry, thought you were disagreeing by saying, "Really?" And after going from 21:9 34" ultra wide to 16:9 32" 4k to 32:9 49" super ultra wide in a matter of months, I agree with him. It's the best aspect ratio I've ever seen. But it would be way to small in a 34", for example..... 49" or another large size is necessary.

I agree with vincentrouleau on this. even after only a few quick flights and landings, the perspective is unreal. Yes, the instruments are not as big as they used to be but they are still legible enough. I was somewhat underwhelmed after completing my new 9900k build, even with the upgrade from an Acer Xr34 to the BenQ 4K. This monitor has changed that and, after 5 months since my build, I finally feel like my system is complete. It is absolutely the most immersive flight sim experience I have ever had. And I've been simming for 30 years going back to the very beginning. Not to mention, I dabbled a bit with RDR2 and The Division 2 last night as well. The monitor provides a whole new experience.

one word. AMAZING. My almost new BenQ PD3200U is now for sale haha.

It worked, thanks! forgot that this is the best fix for lots of issues!

No, I will try this. thanks.

I have a thread posted over in the general monitor section, but that is more about monitor setup and since this is P3D specific, I thought I would post here as well. I just got a Samsung CRG9 49" super ultrawide. I am having issues only with aircraft. scenery looks fine. I transitioned from a 21:9 32" 4K BenQ. I did not change any settings (except for wide aspect ratio) when I switched to the CRG9. All views, internal and external a super skewed. The overhead shot below are from the center 20% of the screen -- so, 80% of the screen or so is the wider view. I have toggled wide aspect ratio view in the settings. Also confirmed that it is activated in the CFG. I use chase plane and have tried messing around with the specific view settings (mainly zoom) but nothing seems to work. The zoom on these in the sim is .83. zooming in to 1.5ish does make the scaling look right, but then it is too zoomed in -- ie. on the overhead I can only see a portion of the buttons/switches. Same goes for external view.... the plane ends up taking up most of the screen. Any ideas around this? I have tried this on the PMDG 747-8 and the QW 787. Same exact issue. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KaMMotKYvhcVr3897 https://photos.app.goo.gl/qr3LzJ1hnRtbAYQd9

CRG9 is up and running.... issues right off the bat. all views of the plane (inside and out) are a little.... ummm.... skewed. Scenery looks normal though. tried on multiple planes and its the same on all. Wideview aspect ratio is selected. As well, confirmed =TRUE in the cfg. Any ideas? https://photos.app.goo.gl/NjjXrFkaFRFQ4Jdz8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/EKZC1MDcuBTtoRQa9
