The first type of compatibility involves preserving legacy file formats such as in the case of P3d4: BGL, MDL, AIR, etc. The second type is preserving legacy entries in the sim's SDK/libraries. All good points but yea this is true, a lot of the draw part of the rendering engine doesn't engage with 3rd party products so they can keep the formats but rebuild the engine and even just the shaders (as Tomatoshade does). A totally new engine however could mean needing to extend some of those formats to capture extra DX12 information. My worry is that LM aren't really too bothered with this because the main commercial audience isn't looking for this kind of fidelity. Incidentally, using John's settings but locking down to 20FPS, removing all NVidia inspector settings, removing Tomatoshade shaders, traffic and weather + limiting visibility to 20miles I can now fly from EGLC to EGKK in a Cessna with limited stuttering. I might purchase that SimStarter product being mentioned so I can easily run this as a second config.

February 11, 20197 yr Give Orbx there do, Just use Fair weather and a trike and you will be fine ! got to love the A2A trike. O...wait! when am in London you see GA'a flying in and around/ in & out of heathrow all the time ^^. Complex GA is about the max aircraft to even think about using but with visibility set to 30 miles, no thanks. Edited February 11, 20197 yr by Nyxx David Murden.

February 11, 20197 yr Reducing the visibility distance improves framerates? I assume this is because the simulator does not render terrain and/or objects beyond the "haze"?

February 11, 20197 yr Mine is currently set to 50 miles, but I have used 30 miles (and even 20 miles) in the past. It does not matter quite so much when you fly "low and slow" like me Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester

It takes 2 mins when its loading from a Samsung 2TB 970 EVO M.2 SSD Thats 3500 MB per second (£460), I hope your not on an old hard drive at 220mb per second.

Don't think it works well in p3d as one goes up in altitude. True plus in real life you cant usually see much more than 20 miles. The Tomatoshade fresnel atmosphere shading effects look brilliant. I am seeing much better performance now after another 5hours of tweaking! Solid 30FPS with a lot of eye candy and weather now on.
