Enabling SLI on my system results in frame rate DROPs of 30 to 50%! System description: ASUS Maximus VI Formula, 4790K @ 4.6G, 16G, RAM ASUS 980X x2 one in x16 PCIE slot, the other in x8 PCIE slot P3D on dedicated SSD Two monitors at 1920x1200. One runs the main sim view, the other has several 2D panels shown. PMDG 777 FSUIPC, FreeMesh X, REX, REX Softcloud, ORBX Global, both ASN and PATCX on network, FSDT KIAH, GSX Using one 980x (SLI disabled) my frame rate is very stable at 30 fps with all internal and external views. Switching on SLI and using the NCP and NVI default settings results in a drop to 10-20 fps in all views. Note that the cockpit view is…

Hi all, Suddently I get a CTD everytime I load a flight. Has anyone any obvious clue about it? I couldn't find anything similar. I used P3D, ASN, and the AXE. All latest versions. The CTD happens whithin minutes while on the gate.

Yesterday I tried to join a multiplayer group at a certain ISP address. I couldn't connect. I did a Ping and the signal both sending and receiving was fine. What might I look at as the possible problem with my connection? Jim

I was flying into Belize last night and just got down to minimums to realize there were trees all over the runway. I have never had this problem before until I installed FTX global. Does anyone know of a fix other then turning the autogen down to minimal that will correct these unwanted trees on my airports? Thanks for looking Chris

Hi! I find the ground vehicles (push back truck etc) way to loud, anyone know a way to lower the volume on all the vehicles except for editing each sound.cfg? Regards Jonas

Title says it all...is there a way in GSX to globally disable the passenger bus? 90% or more of my flights depart/arrive from gates. Hate arriving at a "new" airport, parking at the gate, and then have to see the passenger bus(or, worse yet, the passenger van) to deplane passengers. Would be nice if it was off by default everywhere and then you would have to set that you want it. Seems to me that more flights use this scenario than not. Anyway, thanks for any answers.

Dear Simmers, I purchased the Flight1 GTN750 for my GA Aircrafts in v2.4. I installed the GTN750 from F1 and I installed the Garmin Light Trainer as requested. I ran the F1 GTN config program and all seemed well. But in each plane I tested, even if it has a genuine install option for the GTN750 like the Realair Turbine Duke, or not (e.g. Carenado Seneca, Carenado Phenom, Epic Victory...) the GTN750 Panel remains black. The instrument itself is visible, even intergrated in the panels or as popup, the knobs are turnable, but the "touchdown screen" remains black... And yes, the Avionics is on. Anyone able to help me, what I did wrong? Sorry for my incompetence..…

HI, I don`t know if I'm posting in the right place but there it is. I have just installed P3D v2.5 and I'm wondering if the latest migration tool version is compatible with FSINN. Can any one help please ? and also when I download the migration tool my antivirus software detect a virus. ??? Did that happen to someone else too ? Thanks!

Has anybody had trouble downloading the FreeMesh X mesh scenery. I download it, but when I go to unzip it with 7zip it won't unzip. Looks like it downloaded the full mesh. Paul

Approaching Rwy 09R at UK2000's EGLL, no ASN running, Aerosoft's Airbus Extended A321 got a VAS CTD with a MSVCR100.DLL. Has anyone any idea what is causing this? Have managed longer flights that this before until I turned off Windows Updates(there is another thread elsewhere about a sneaky Microsoft Update), but I don't think turning off a Windows Automatic Update would lead to a DLL CTD. I may be wrong. Hopefully somebody can put me on the right track. Thanks.

What is the best way to do a short video of flight?

Hello, I'm trying to tweak the p3d config in order to gain some additional fps and use more the cpu. Currently I put everything to high/ultra, the gpu (hd7970) loads up to 90% but I'm not able to use more than 40% of my cpu (i5 2500k @4.5k). I've tried to set the affinity mask to 14 according to the documentation, but only one core is used, the three others look at the first one working... On a busy scenery (FSdreamteam or mega airport) with the carenado hawker I got between 40 and 60 fps with some drops at 30. But it seems to be instable, always cycling between 40-60... Have I miss something? In any others recent games like GTA 5, the gpu and cpu are full loaded and I li…

Hi Guys, Couldn't see this mentioned before. Just tried my first approach to KDFW and discovered a small jungle on the runway. Anyone else seen this? I haven't seen it anywhere else. Running P3D 2.5, FTX Global, Vector (KDFW disabled in AEC) and Pilots mesh. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B737NjyuerZXTDlCenBHRmFwSGc/view?usp=sharing Thanks, Trevor.

I didn't even know they were working on this! FPS are reported to be good which is important since this region is a known fps hog. Wonder how the memory usage is? The price is right, they're latest works have been great; I'm in. http://secure.simmarket.com/taxi2gate-ksea-seattle-tacoma-international-airport-fsx.phtml

Every now I then I get a popup box for a split second saying something like 'Loading air, sea and land traffic' and I find this very annoying since P3D will be paused for as long as the popup is displayed. Does someone know if there's any way to get rid of this box without totally disabling all traffic? The only traffic I have is 15% sea and land traffic. Of course I could disable this, used to have all traffic sliders at '0' in the past but I do like to see some movements on the ground (or the water) below making the virtual world feel a little bit more alive.

Hello everyone, in the installer there is a liverey of Virgin. Unfortunately it is the old one. In the AVSIm library I could not find the new one. So there it is a designer, who is actual working on it?

Hi guys, Im new to p3d and just bought a new pc im wondering whats the best nvidia control panel and in-sim graphics setting for my pc To get 30fps in pmdg777 with asn and high detailed airport right now im getting around 60 to 70fps in the default start flight scenario in high quality settings Also a link to latest tweaks for max performance wd be appreciated many thanks i7 4790k 8gb 2400mhz gskill rams asus maximus ranger mob gigabyte gtx970 soc

I currently have 3 states of MSE installed - Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. HAve been flying around in them for awhile. And THEN...I decided to purchase FTX Global because of the great discount and the fact that it had a great freeware airport I wanted. Without a second thought, I downloaded and installed the ORBX system. And then that second thought hit me - what happens to my MSE scenery undre FTX Global? From what I've seen, I'll probably uninstall the MSE stuff because the ORBX choice looks better. But will ther be any conflict between FTX and MSE? Just askin'...

I asked this in another thread but I guess it got drowned out: Is there any advantage for non-SLI users in downloading the GeForce Experience part of the 352.86 driver? (which I understand is necessary to get the profile) I've never bothered with that so far because I don't run anything that might have been affected, don't record videos and don't care about twitch. My feeling is that I can go on ignoring it. Am I right?

Hi Guys, I was wondering is anyone out there has a good setting setup for P3d 2.5 without using the NI? I tired setting up but i have alot of shimmers and slight stutters . The airport and the runways does not look shard and crisp or atleast smooth looking as it starts to shimmer alot. Anyone with any help or advise is much appreciated. Regards

Is this worth going through all the fuss of a reinstall?

Hi everyone Ok ..... I think I have conclusive evidence that this is definitely NOT the SLI driver for Prepar3D My system is spanned over three 26 inch 16.10 ratio screens and using 2 x GTX 970 graphics cards Now .... with P3D spanned over these three screens ... set to SLI mode and the SLI indicator ticked I am not seeing the green bar on the far left hand side which quite rightly means that P3D is not running in SLI mode I noticed that in the NVidia control panel when I am spanned over three screens I do not have the option to select SLI rendering mode .... the actual listing isn't even there!! So .... I then decided to go into 'Configure SLI,surrou…

One happy camper here - just installed NZXT Kraken G10 on my Titan X - it was running very hot - had enough of that - was a lot of work but well worth it - I cranked up the clouds and autogen flew for 1/2 hour watching temps never rose above 31 degrees - still can believe it - my temps used to be stupid now amazing - ok heres the real good part sim is butter smooth and no more jaggies day and night - I can zoom out and still no jaggies - this is a must update imo Here is what I bought Kraken G10 bracket Corsair H75 - its a small radiator but doesnt matter this thing is cool as a cucumber - keep in mind the NZXT Kraken needs to have a pump head that is round not r…
