Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like twelve Titans and 55,000GB of RAM. Thx
The Marshmallow Man You're talking about P3D crashing right? Good old 32 bit :) All the RAM in the world and it still only uses 4GB haha
+The unseen joe Dual socket CPU
The Marshmallow Man OKay what about quad socket
Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like twenty GTX 1080 and 1000000GB of RAM with P3D 64 bits. Thanks :)
I can run P3D on Ultra and mixed very high
This really isn't a tweak guide. From my point of view, it is a setting level I would like to reach in the next half decade.
+Salman Khan Actually... yeah! He didn't really cover what any of the settings do, nor are his settings especially optimized at all.
Matt, you can set your Anisotropic flitering at x16!! ;) Contrary to what many people think, he doesn't decrease performances!! Cheers!
The clouds and sun sets are awesome really changes things within the sim I even get reflections of sunset on my panels its great
Thank you for making this video and this channel. Back when I first started swimming stuff like this didn't exist. You had to spend hours researching and reading forums to get help like this.
That intro never gets old. Don't have p3d or a decent computer to warrant watching this video but haven't missed a video yet so.... and to make your p3d better well.......me! lol
Wow dude. Setting frame limiter to unlimited really made a difference. Thanks
FXAA is a somewhat confusing setting as it's usually "more things ON = better looks," but FXAA is "Fast Approximate Anti-aliasing," which is essentially "prefer performance over quality," which is why enabling it makes things worse.
I gained 15-20FPS in teh NGX at Aerosoft DAB with some decent weather. Thank you Matt, made my day!
Do I have to say that this video saved my life? Thank you very much Matthew;)
Matt, frank and helpful as ever, thanks for doing this one. I might tweak a bit now. generally happy, but you never know........
It would seem that many simmers are verging on P3D as their major platform. I've gone from FSX to Steam. However, I'm going to purchase P3D and call it a day.
FSX/Steam (RIP).
+Anthony White P3D has great graphics, but beware that it only supports a subset of all FSX addons.
Wow! Matt Davies with another awesome video. I love it when you control on Vatsim ;) Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing Matt, i have just upgraded to a 970 and bought V3, I will be living on beans until April lol so I hope it will be worth it :)
***** lol If i run the NGX with some demanding scenery maybe it will heat my house too lol
Matt's been busy whilst he's been away
Hello, Matt! I saw your video about 2016 settings optimization.
I'm a video game aficionado and have spent days optimizing FSX/P3D, here's my advice.
I’m using a 4770/770 and can max out everything, except for Hardware Tessellation (major villain!), Terrain Shadowing (major villain!), and Building/Vegetation Reflections/Shadows (adds up), while getting 30-60 fps depending on the situation.
With your current set-up I would believe you should be able to have a lot higher settings and or fps!
I’m new to this flight simulator and have only made a few basic flights over Europe, so I don’t know how this changes in after hours of flying in adverse weather, at high altitude, over denser vegetation or denser cities.
However, based on my experience with FSX/P3D yet and games in general, you do not appear to be maxing out a few settings that have no impact on fps at all (Anisotropic filtering has zero impact in all games, as far as I’m aware), so I would encourage you to spend a day increasing or decreasing all settings one at a time and seeing if they have any impact on your system, and you can end up with great success!
These settings even work great for me and I'm on a 3.10ghz CPU.
Welp, that's it, you've gone and sent me on another P3D tweaking marathon.
Just got P3D looking forward to booting it up thanks for the help Matt :D
Well done Matt, thanks for the help.
I forgot to mention, that on long flights I usually use PMDG 777's also I do have REX Soft Clouds along with ASN, FTX Global, FTX Vector,FTX North America, FTX EuropeLC, FTX Oceana. My machine i7 4790k, 32 gigs, hybrid drive, GTX 970 single and Windows 7
Suggestion regarding the Aircraft labels:
Turn them off by default, if you are looking for an aircraft and cannot find it, press Ctrl+Alt+L to toggle the labels.
Cheers
Very helpful Video Matt, Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you very much, your videos keep to amaze me!
+Matt Davies You could this kind of video for Prepar3D v4
"and it makes everything in P3D just look like I need some sort of cataract surgery" ahahahah (I had the same problem) I love you man you're funny and make really dope vids
Nice vid bud this will def help me when I get my set up
Lol , this basically gave me an extra 15-20 FPS.
Hey Matt.
Just what i wanted to see/hear, thank you.
Regards Frederik/Chok000
Hello from the stream! lel
Hi Matt , the smallparticleradius=1 is a good add to the config so you can see objects further if playing multiplayer. Great vids mate. Do you have a rift ? Flyinside changes the way you "fly" and is super immersive :) keep up the great vids.
Hi Matt, can you do one of these videos for xplane? Thanks!
Thanks for this, Matt! I am now strongly considering switching to P3D. :)
Hey Matt can you do a video involving a flight from Yorkshire this doesn't seem to be an area you haven't even touched into
Today changed my old graphics card ATI5870 (which did an admirable job) to an EVGA 980ti which is fantastic.. I got all the settings as your video shows and its brilliant.. PMDG 737 is better, but still struggles.. but even 16 fps in city areas plays smoother than my old card...I've yet to change my cpu QX9650 3.0 Ghz.. although its easy to overclock to 3.6 ghz. I can also see texture loading bottlenecked by my older Mechanical drive as it stutters slightly as the hard drive is reading... so eventually i'll get an SSD for E drive..
Good fun though... still not tried it on my FSX install.. too busy fying!
Hey matt, just installed P3D v3.2 academic but dont see any display settings tab so I cant change my graphics settings? Do you know whats wrong?
start a flight options at the top once started
+Daniel Smith yeah i figured, thanks tho :) is it like fsx where you uncheck sceneries you dont use aswell?
I'm not 100% but I believe it only loads what's needed anyway good luck with p3d!
I keep getting an SQL error when starting rex soft clouds saying that it has been tampered with and to unistall and reinstall. I've tried several times with no luck.
Hi Matt maybe you would consider doing a DUB-LHR flight with Aer Lingus in the new year. Cheers
Matt, love your work- glad your back uploading! I have a quick question I cant find an answer to and hoping you or someone else can give me a hand.
I have followed your fsx tweak guide- no issues with the install and game looking great. Have installed your config file as well. However I use my mouse as opposed to a joystick when flying and now on the ground I cannot turn? In the air, yeh no problem but as I use the mouse to taxi, please help I know it must be a tiny 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 or false to true in the config!
Keep up the great work!
Enabling HDR lighting at all makes all the displays in the PMDG 737 a blurry mess. It makes my eyes ache after squinting at them for a few minutes. It's like there's a piece of wax paper over the screens or something. Have you had any issues like that?
hi matt i was wondering if you knew how to fix a quick problem for me. IN p3d i have about a 1/2 second click delay and i cant seem to fix it no matter how much i turn down my settings. Thanks
hello matt I have a problem and is whit view, when I put your CFG I could not move more views in the virtual cockpit and abroad, so occurs?
You should do a shared cockpit with frooglesim.
Thanks for the insight.
An intro to Ezdoc would be great
/Stephen
you know what I want to know, how in gods name did you manage to do shared cookpit with Squeal in the Aerosoft A320, I've tried it with a friend in it's impossible to steer the plane as it floods the network...
What about your nVidia Settings, can you share it?
Hey Matt! Great videos! I know how you can instantly get 20 free FPS with ZERO visual impact in P3D, get rid of Terrain shadows and Msaa, set the settings to 4k and max EVERYTHING out, make that GPU of yours work! I mean special effects, textures, 4k textures, everything but shadows, keep all your shadows the same except get rid of Terrain shadows, you'll notice almost no difference and unlock about 15 FPS, and MSAA, ditch that crap, it eats GPU's, use FXAA, or just 4k screen resolution.
I have an AMD Fury and I5 6600k OC'd to 4.4ghz and am getting 25-35 FPS at Aerosoft's Heathrow max settings at 4k resolution with 4k textures! it's insane, just try it and see if you get a similar FPS, the most I've gotten is in the air over Germany, with full clouds overcast nastiness, I got 50 FPS.
Anyways, love the videos, and keep up the good work :)
***** So did you try it? How much of an FPS gain if any at all did you notice?
It may be also that I have maybe the perfect balance of hardware or something, I don't know, its getting that FPS from something though.
***** I did also notice that water at Ultra for some reason eats some FPS, and there's not much of a visual difference, so I keep that at high, but everything else, except for shadows too is at the max, and there was a drastic difference, being able to go from 1080p to 4k, 4k textures, and maximum settings with an increase of FPS.
***** But there aren't any shadows really in the first place 😌
***** My FPS doubled when getting rid of Terrain casts shadows, I don't notice much a difference no terrain shadows and some terrain shadows, I thought the exact same thing, that it looked weird, because my mind was tricking me mostly by the thought of having no shadows on terrain, then I looked closer and I can say to hell with the terrain casts shadows, damn that, I wish it weren't an option in the first place, I'd rather have 20+ FPS more than look at a slideshow and hurt my brain, and besides, I still saw slight shadows, they just weren't as dark, so darker shadows for me or way more fps? I'll take FPS, because my settings are cranked up as high as possible and at 4k with 4k textures so screw terrain shadows!
What's your CPU and GPU? Also, I have it on a SSD. I could have an advantage somewhere compared to others, I have 4gb of HBM and I think that only helps on my GPU, and then a 4.4ghz i5 6600k and 16gb of 3200mhz RAM the fast ram probably helps I would assume...
***** Also, what's your resolution and texture resolution?
Matt i wanna see you fly bigger and better go for the a380/747-8
Matt, probably the best video I have watched this year. Instantly my sim looks awesome and getting 40 - 60 fps. Does your graphics card make a massive difference with P3D V3? I.e would it make full use of the power of a Nvidia Titan?
Cool, thanks for the reply.
+Matt Davies Hello Matt, I'm new to your aviation channel and I was wondering is this simulator online. By that I mean is that actually other 'gamers' playing along side you as ATC and Pilots. Cheers bud.
***** Ah right I see pal, cheers.
How do you cope with VAS with your setting. When I start a flight (similar setting) with a HD plane (Carenado 525A) at the begging I have 1 GB left, at approach maybe 0,4 GB left and no chance for landing. No possibility to fly from Kastrup (FlyTampa) to Shiphol. Any idea?
Matt when i load that cfg and cannot move mouse look i press space bar and mouse and cant pan,,any suggestion, new to prepar, have ezdok but havent installed yet.
thanks
To my surprise the framerate is lower on FSX after changing my old ATI 5870 to a geforce 980ti??? I tried the shader fix compile shaders... how strange.. I guess its P3D then
Matt, how about the dynamic reflections in the new v3.1?
Matt when is a next xplane vid coming out
Hey Matt or anyone else I know your busy but you said you not using NVIDIA inspector any more how are you getting no jaggies or shimmering in the cockpit or on the outside of the aircraft. NVIDIA inspector solves it but kills my fps with sparse Grid super sampling any ideas ?
Hey Matt have you been able to install any Fly Tampa products like Dubai and ones like that?
How do you change the zoom to make up for not having wide aspect ratio, and what zoom do you use?
What's the add-on for better taxiways and jetways for Fsx? I have gsx but they still look very bad. Sorry for bad english
I've just invested in P3D and noticed something strange, when I sent my display sliders all the way up to Dense or V Dense I get about 25/30 fps which is good for me, but when I put the sliders down to the mid sections/normal I only get about 15/20 fps!!! I can't figure that one out :-)
Thank you for your videos. :-) Greetings from Germany.
Can you tell me, how to install 3D lights for P3Dv3.4?
That's a cool intro did you make it or was it a template?
What is the Sky / Sun Textures software called? I can't access AVSIM. Like many of the flight sim community, I've been banned.
I wonder how people het so high frames in p3d i cant get above 30 it just wont happen why?
Matt how do you download Prepar3d on your computer when you have paid for a licence thanks
Cheers Matt
hey matt im looking to purchase an airbus product from aerosoft do I purchase the a319 or a320?
My autogen doesn't load more than 20 or 30 mi in v3, I have fiber tweak at 0.3 but doesn't seem to change anything. Anyone know how to work around this?
Can you use enb with p3d?? I mean p3d already has hdr lightning and enb is only compatible with dx9... just wondering...
For the sun and sky texture mod, do you need to be running ENB series for FSX or can you do without it?
+Oscar Warrington You can do it with out it
Okay thanks guys
Are the days of manually modifying the .cfg file finally over with P3D?? I want to make the switch from FSX to P3D but I'm put off by the cost of re purchasing all of my add-ons. I use all of the mainstream stuff like FTX, ASN, PMDG, A2A, etc. How many of these licenses have to be re purchased for P3D? Thanks
hi , wanted to help
should i but prepar3d professional or academic version will it change any realism in the game
can you do a Sint Maarten - Kalmar in a MD-87
Matt how do you record your videos? You should make a video on how to use 2 PCs and how to hook them up to record! Thanks!
I was wondering with these settings are you having any out of memory issues on long flights, especially flying in/out of big cities like egll, klax, kjfk ect.....
Can you please answer me what p3d do you have the academic the professional wich on. Thankyou
can you do a flight ESSA to VTSP whit an A330 or a B777
Matt, have you gone over to P3D completely? I was just wondering, I haven't tried it yet. If you have, could you tell me the two main reasons for change. Thanks great vids no matter if SFX or P3D.
Hey Matt, can you share your ezdok cameras?
matt I love your videos they are awesome! But, could you do an american airlines flight phx to ord?
Are you going to do a virgin atlantic in plane sim.✈️🇬🇧
no OOMs with that max lod radius huh?
Here is an idea for your next flight: American Airlines 777-323ER From: KLAX To: EGLL
Hi Matt,
As always great info, can I ask you what your VAS position is in general with NGX over large city (ORBX Global/Vectors/Eu LC /FTXeng)
I run Process Explorer and FUISPC counter (latter always overstates what's left in my opinion)
Hey Matt hows it going just a quick 2 questions do you still use the fiber frame time fraction in the config and also do you use anything to change the lighting or things like lightning etc? thanks, Rob
Sorry to ask a newb question, but how do you install this stuff in V3. These tweaks and settings are awesome but all the research I look up seem crazy complicated with compatibility and all that. Do you have a how to install addons in V3 video
Thanks for your help
Hey Matt. First of all nice video. Im a xplane user right now but Im planning to turn back to P3D as the weather engine with REX is too realistic. What do you recommend? Also I did some testing of P3D v3 and its performance. I get aprox 30 fps with clear skies and 20-25 with major thunderstorms (graphics maxed out). If I install ORBX, REX and use a PMDG how many fps drop can I experience? Thanks
Hi, I am thinking about getting p3d but I'm not sure if I should. I currently use xplane 10 and the reason I want p3d is mainly for pmdg aircraft. Do you think it's worth getting it?
Hey Matt, I got one question concerning the freeware sun/sky textures. Do you use them with or without any ENBseries? (sorry if this question has been asked thousend times) Thanks for your answer.
Matt, hi. I have a lenovo Y50-70 Gtx 860m core i7 4710HQ and it works fine 2.5GHz but, using XTU, P3D runs at 3.5GHz a few minuts and then returns to 2.5GHz. You know why this happens?? Thaks dude!!
Hello Matt, would you mind informing us if there are setting updates especially for the in-sim settings for your p3d after you've upgraded your pc ? Thanks a lot mate !
Hey Matt where do you get your aircraft from this would help a lot?
Thanks for the great video and links. I was struggling to get a steady 30fps at 4K until reading from Rob that Hyper-threading and P3D do not mix well. After switching HT off, I am now able to get a steady 30-40fps at 4K with the settings you provided.
Interested in whether you run with HT on or off?
+Sam de Freyssinet Interesting, although I'm skeptical I will have to try turning off hyper-threading some day and see.
Sun sky texture link is broken ;(
Kinda irrelevant, but what addon do you use for the model matching on vpilot now?
Hi Matt! I love your videos. Could you Please fly EDDM-EFHK (munich-helsinki) with the Finnair a319 in FSX?? Thanks :)
Matt, are you not using ORBX? And if you are are you using vector with all settings enabled?
Hi nice tutorial Do you ht enabled or disabled in bios? Thanks
Matt, where do you get online traffic at?
