For reference, I'm referring to this thread that I posted yesterday: Anybody have any bug spray? My first flight: C152 So I finally got all my controls set up the way I wanted, and took my third flight in the sim today. Now I will preface this by saying that ground handling is terrible. I still think the torque factor on initial power application is ridiculous, although once you're airborne p-factor is fine. And the actual in-flight handling of the 152 seems pretty darn good. It's beautifully modeled. I love the prop effect, looks very realistic. But once you touch down again on landing it's right back to being garbage. But that aside, on my setup (stock 8700K, no OC, GTX1080, 16 GB of "whatever" RAM), the sim runs absolutely wonderfully on Ultra settings in 2K. This is with live weather and live traffic. If you look at the screenshots, the colors are spot on for the Caribbean. The inland water is different from the sea. They have accurately included those kind of wavy lines you see across the water at a distance. The vegetation is mostly spot-on, until you get really close in on landing where there are too many trees (and they're not appropriate for the region). The buildings are absolutely fantastic - correct in size and number, the colors accurately represented. The shorelines are just gorgeous, with the water rolling in. There was a cruise liner in St. Barts when I got there, which is sacrilegious, but we'll ignore that. On the whole they've done an absolutely stunning job. Flying in my favorite region, the Caribbean, is going to be an absolute joy for years to come. Below a few screenshots, and then a video of my first landing in SBH. And this is STOCK SCENERY. Edit: I'll add the video later, the upload is taking a while.

Hi folks, got my 5950X (for MSRP!) and had the opportunity to run a few benchmarks for you all. Hardware: 8700k (at 5.0 GHZ), Asus Z370-A Prime, 8x4GB DDR4 3200 CL 16-18-18-32, Noctua NH-u14s 5950X and Asus X570-E Gaming, 2x16GB DDR4 3600 CL 16-19-19-39, Corsair H115i RGB PRO XT GeForce RTX 2080 (both systems). Addons Prepar3d V5.1 HF1 FSL a320X (latest) ORBX (latest) Aerosoft Heathrow (Latest). Benchmark Scenario Take off from EGLL 9L, climb to 3000, turn right and intercept 27L for ILS CAT III Autoland. Entire flight on AP, no panning or changing views. P3D settings pretty much maxed out, but without EA. No weather, clear sky, Daytime. No GPU bottleneck, utilization less than 70% at all times. Configuration Average FPS Min FPS Max FPS 1% Lows 0.1% Lows 5950X PBO 45.6 26.9 56.6 25.0 21.5 5950X PBO (SMT OFF) 47.3 37.5 65.9 32.9 27.9 8700K @ 5.0 41.3 29.7 54.3 25.2 19.8 Observations Even at stock, the 5950x gameplay was significantly smoother than the 8700K at 5.0 ghz. Sim, scenery load, autogen loading were significantly faster on the 5950x. There was NO stutters at all with the 5950x, the 8700k has intermittent "regular" micro stutters especially in autogen dense areas.
