Great results with Nvidia Gsync on a Freesync monitor!!!

Also I did not check anything else in the Nvidia control panel, only ticked the box adaptive refresh rate inside Prepar3D.

The only time I tried G-sync (in my Freesync monitor), I started getting DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET errors. Sadly I had to disable it. Maybe I did something wrong (for example, enable Gsync while having FPS locked at 30 in either NCP or RTSS), but this is the only way I've suceeded making P3D crash.

I have frame rate set to unlimited

If you're on V5, try G-Sync on and VRR on in P3D (vsync and triple buffering off). Set the limit in CP to 36 (1/4 of 144hz). Leave your monitor at 144hz. 

do you leave vsnyc on or off in CP please ?   

many thanks

I keep so in P3D. The limits are in either RTSS or NCP.

Thank you @Chapstick. I've done as you suggested: 

In P3D Display

  • VSync: Off
  • Triple Buffering: unchecked
  • Variable Refresh Rate: Checked
  • Target frame rate:  Unlimited

In Nvidia Control Panel

  • G-Sync: Enabled for windowed and full screen mode
  • On Manage 3D settings and for P3D: 
    • Max Frame Rate: 36 FPS
    • Monitor Technology: G-SYNC

This resulted in a very smooth flying experience. I don't know why others say that P3D can't take advantage of G-sync. Maybe they were talking about an earlier version.  Again, thank you.

 Strangest thing I've seen recently - seems I need to find a way to force G-sync to prioritize P3D over all other programs to control refresh rate.

i feel your pain, I also have the same issue as you.  I have to have chaseplane, google crome,  also psxseecon minimised otherwise or the gsync goes nuts.

if you can find a way to "force G-sync to prioritize P3D over all other programs to control refresh rate."  id be very interested too.

thanks.
