Was suffering really bad stuttering with SU11, so decided to give the Beta a try and yep so smooth. Just good to know it’s not my system.

Just bring back SU4 visuals - why do we have to go through this word not allowed.

LOD 4 is about the limit for my PC - better but still not great as SU5 stuffed the LOD in general. Large areas of terrain pop in and out and blurry textures in the distance. My tests are at 15000 and above - low and slow it's probably not noticeable.

It has not effect on popping.

This was a discussion I had with Opus about this issue, as they had claimed to have a work around to the issue: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/451828-live-camera-control-and-pmdg-777/ They are open to looking into it, but for some reason I didn't finish off the discussion with them.

For those running the PMDG 777 and experiencing VAS issues, disable the external model, saves you about 500MB.

Just a question for those using P3D, doesn't the limitation of LOD (Level of Detail) bother you? From my understanding it's limited to 6.5 and even so that's not the same as FSX 6.5. My testing with FSX at 6.5 is nice clear crisp textures, whereas with P3D blurry all over the place. One reason I'm sticking with FSX.

Yes, it's a real weird one, explained in the intro manual page 136. I'm hoping it's somehow been fixed in P3D.

The test I use is to load up the 777 at Hong Kong (VHHH), and just taxi in circles, if the problem is there you will see the VC view shift left or right quite a bit. I think most people don't notice this because the problem is not so bad in locations like North Amercia or Europe. Thanks

I beleive that disables dynamic head movement only, not related to the vc view shifting issue.

Can anyone confirm if the virtual cockpit view position shifting issue still exists?

Can anyone confirm if the virtual cockpit view position shifting issue still exists?

Yes it's inherent, but could just be one line of code to turn it off, or even just a .cfg entry. With FSX there is no way to find out, P3D there is.

Sure the problem is generic, but it affects the PMDG 777 greatly and has a page dedicated to it in the Introduction manual, so it is a known issue which detracts from the task of flying the 777. It's something I'm hoping will be resolved in P3D.

The question is specifically about the PMDG 777 in P3D, why would I post a PMDG question in a generic P3D forum? Thanks
