You can check out my specs in the description. Remember: you will need to adjust the settings I mention yourself, because every system is different: there is no single "best" tweak. That's also why I can't send you my Prepar3D.cfg, because it makes no sense and causes errors because of different hard- and software ;). Thanks for watching! :)
Hi AviationPro ,I'm running a Z97 motherboard intel core i7- 4760k (not overclocked) Seahawk GTX 980ti 16 GB DDR4 RAM I was told that I shouldn't, and didn't need to alter the P3Dv3 cfg file. However, I did back it up and inserted "affinity mask=85", and changed one or two things in my P3D settings, according to your advice. Gave it a quick try by known weather and scenery factors. The result was truely amazing......... Fantastic smoothness, and double Frame Rate (average 50-60 fps) I also noticed that my GPU and CPU were running at constant lower temperatures than before. I thought there was something missing at first, but it's all there........... Amazing !!!!!! THANKS A MILLION !!!!!!
Thanks for the suggestion to set the frame rate limiter to unlimited. It solved the non-smootheness I had been seeing for quite a while in P3D. Enabling the external frame rate limiter through nVidia Inspector seems to work better (has no influence on the smootheness in P3D). Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much mate! I set the affinty mask to 85 and now I have 10-20fps more than before. I have an Intel Core i7 7700k! Greetings from Germany!
One word WOW. i get 25 FPS at EGKK using UK2000 Gatwick Xtreme on High scenery Amount and in the Aerosoft Airbus and over 40FPS in the Aerosoft airbus in flight about to do a flight and will see how it performs. Thank you and you've earned a Patreon on the 25th (My payday) if i don't waste it all on Black friday deals lol
great video, I'll experiment with my settings sometime. When I first setup p3d, I set it up just enough to fly, but never really optimized it. Question, have you used any atc add-ons? my terminology still isn't particularly good enough for vatsim, and I'm sure you know how bad the default atc is. I'm sick of being told on my approach at FL120 "123, cleared to land runway 34L, turn right a full 360 degrees, roll inverted and climb to FL140, check gear down".
I personally never used such program and I don't know of one by heart. I just began to fly on VATSIM and listened to a lot of real world live ATC and learned it that way ;)
Pro Atc os just an addon atc program you can purchase. It is 100 times better than default Atc but will cost $ if your happy on vatsim thats good to though and its free
whats up buddy,,, im really enjoying watching your videos,, im just starting to get into the world of flight simulation and your videos are on point! i hope one day i´ll be able to pilot just like you,, any tips or any books i should look into to start learning properly,, as i said im a total noob in this and have no idea how to fly,, i mean i know how to fly with the joystick but have no idea how to use the instruments in the plane properly,, like the gps radio etc... you get the point... thanks ahead of time and keep up the great work,, oh and you should do a new vid on your simulator setup ,, as you would say to the atc´s.. bye bye ;-)
Thanks! Glad to hear the videos help. You could even try the flight lessons that come with Microsoft Flight Simulator, in that way you can learn about some of the very basics of flying. Of course, the internet is full of information. If you'd like to try VATSIM sometime, view their documentation as well, because it also contains some great stuff to get you started with flying ;)
Thank you very much, this helped a lot. Unfortunately, I have to turn off volumetric fog as it decreases performance by around 10fps while looking at or in heavy clouds in VC. Other than that this helped a lot!
Nice video.Very usefull.I see you have an ATI GPU.What drivers do you use ? Do you use crimson ? and if so, what settings do you use? Thanks in advance.
Thank you! Well, I'm using this card temporarily for free, that's the main reason :). I will probably use an Nvidia though when this one leaves the rig. I have not adjusted any video card settings, just left everything at default and used Prepar3D settings instead.
Hey, ik heb een vraag, ik wil P3D V4 kopen. dit zijn mijn pc - Windows 10 64bit - Intel Core i5-4460 CPU @ 3.2 GHz - 8 GB RAM - grafische kaart: Geforce GTX 960 Asus Turbo OC 2GB. Kan ik hiermee P3D V4 mee runnen? Ik had al gekeken op de site van P3D, maar ik wil het graag ook van jou horen. Gr, Quint
I'm still planning on making a video about that sometime, perhaps somewhere in April. Not much has changed though, but I think I found the best settings for my system right now. Feel free to send an email if you want them earlier than the video :)
Hello, I am a new user of P3D v3.4.22.19868 with 4790K (+ gtx980Ti), i was trying to tweak with HT (on/off) and AffinityMask, BUT there is no difference for me. P3D is always the same ! So, do you think that it is always useful with the last version of P3D ? Thank you. S.
Hi, well, the main difference I noticed myself is that I did not get any stutters. The frames were usually roughly the same, but in some configurations, I would get small microstutters with an interval of 5-10 seconds, with my current settings that's all gone and all flying is smooth. It might be different for your system and you might not experience any benefit at all. It's always wise to make a couple of flights first to see if there is any real difference ;)
This is awesome, works well for me in the most part, however I have a slight issue. Whenever I'm in the VC and looking out straight ahead, it drags my frames right down. If I look at the floor they are at around 80FPS, but when looking out straight ahead as you would for flight, they drop right down to 25FPS. Any ideas?
Thanks! That's quite normal. As you look outside, the system has to render a much more complicated image compared to when you are looking at the floor. I'm not sure what your specs are, but looking outside in the sim always comes with lower fps compared to looking at something "graphically simple" as a floor. ;)
i have no idea what you said about the cores, i have 16gb ram 4 core 3.80GHz, what Affinity should i choose? plz help! BTW i don't have Affinity mas in my prepar3d.cfg or i have to add it myself?
hi. When i'm instaling control panel for nvidia it's updating my drivers and the p3d doesn' work. When I deinstal it and download not the newest drovers p3d works fine. how can I fixed it to have control panel and ispector without p3d crashing? please advice Best regards
AviationPro I understand it was not "aimed at you" I know that this fix helps especially in old fsx which tortures core0 with all other "common" software which runs in background :). I wanted to save time with this number to other people which are still using quad core without HT :) I know that you switched over P3D. Why do you think that the pmdg aircraft for P3D are rather "much" more expensive than into FSX? Is it because the P3D is aimed for "pros" not for general public? And for example pmdg gives you only one version for one game while aerosoft airbus X gives you p3d/fsx package installer for one price which is plesant. I would like to know your opinion on this. I think that P3D is the future but I counted that I need about 300 - 400 USD to get the most important addons like orbx with pmdg aircraft, airbus, as 2016 and rex. Also I'am little bit worried about the new simulators. Dovetail simulator and rumours about P3Dv4 (64bit) which you would have to buy again if you would like to have it. Thanks for your opinion.
Yes I know, so I have also included the thing about Hyper Threading in the description. :) Yes, I have never followed PMDG really since I have been using iFly aircraft for the past few years. I guess it's just some kind of policy matter which makes the aircraft more expensive in Prepar3D. Or probably they just see that the future will be in Prepar3D so they can charge a higher price. I'm also a bit worried about the future development. I love Prepar3D, but indeed a switch to 64-bit would require a lot of changes to be made to addons that currently exist in the 32-bit market, and I'm pretty sure they won't do that for free since it will take quite some time. However, as long as I can happily fly with 32-bit, I have no desire to switch to a 64-bit simulator. So far my VRAM levels were good and no OOMs occured! :)
I would like to discuss the affinity mask a bit further if you don't mind. I was having a lot of problems with ground textures when i just started with P3D. Since It happend only flying the Aerosoft A32x serie I stumbled on to this threat on the Aerosoft forum: forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/93049-p3d-blurry-terrain-textures-with-airbus-a319/ So when I followed the advice of deleting the Jobscheduler section in the CFG file everything was ok, no more blurry textures. Now i was asking my self what this would do with my cores and hyperthreats I digged a little deeper in the world of cores and hyperthreating. So there are a couple of Flightsim guru's out there that are really know what they are talking about. Rob Ainscough is one of them. He made a topic on the avsim forum asking people to test P3D with hyperthreats disabled. If you disable them you also need to remove the Affinity Mask. See the results over here: ruclips.net/video/3W5CeDlRMaQ/видео.html I suggest you dig a little deeper in the Affinity mask world inside of P3D, there is really a whole new world to explore. Note: I don't say you are wrong but I just wanted to point out that there are other option as well. Cheers
Yes, I have read those threads as well, but I do not want to disable hyper threading since I am using lots of other CPU intensive programs as well that do really need the hyperthreading. Anyways, for me it runs fine this way, but I'm sure you can play around with hyper threading as well to get a better performance in the sim. Thanks for sharing the link, maybe it helps some people! :)
I'm currently running P3D on a computer with a GTX 780 and a hexacore processor at 3.5 ghz clocked at 3.9. I have set an affinity mask to use 4 of these cores. As well as a few minor tweaks. Therefore I don't understand how I, despite playing around with the settings can ever reach over ~13 fps at scenery airports. The scary thing is that my FPS doesn't seem to increase by lowering settings, and I notice no difference between the VC in the standard F22 Raptor or my PMDG 737 NGX. Always at 7-13 fps while looking at my scenery. Do you know what it might mean and do you have any ideas?
It is quite well known within the flightsim community that Intel processors work better with Microsoft Flight Simulator and Prepar3D, that could be the first issue. Otherwise, maybe there are too many background processes taking up resources or there is some kind of bottleneck in your system. I'd suggest to do a clean installation of Prepar3D, lower all settings, and work your way from there. And again, play with Tripple buffering, Vertical Sync and the frame rate limiter. Also, try to tweak your Nvidia settings using Nvidia Inspector, because if those settings are too high your video card simply can't handle it.
Hi! I followed your instructions and the game improved a lot! Much smoother and more realistic. But now I try to fly with these settings (with Airbus A320 FL260) the picture suddenly freezes. I can still hear engines running and the ATC, but only picture is frozen. Later I get this "Prepar3d has suddenly stopped and Windows is searching for a solution" -bullshit and the P3D actually shuts down. Do you (or anyone) have any suggestions?
Are you using the default Airbus? Because that happened to me back on FSX, I was almost unable to fly it. The best way I found is fly the Aerosoft Airbus.
Hallo ik heb sinds kort Prepar3d en ik wil graag PMDG 737 NGX opnieuw installeren op prepar3d maar wanneer ik het wil installeren verschijnt er dit your registry does not show a valid prepar3d(tm) installation location zou u me kunnen helpen om het op te lossen mijn prepar3d locatie is D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3
Je kunt FSX vliegtuigen niet zomaar in Prepar3D installeren. Daar heb je de Estonia Migration Tool voor nodig. Maar alsnog, het zou kunnen dat de FSX NGX versie niet helemaal werkt in Prepar3D. Er is niet voor niets een Prepar3D versie van de NGX ;)
The academic license is intended for students, but has a watermark in the top-right corner whenever you run the program. The professional license is intended for professionals (non-students), but does not have the watermark in the corner.
OK You have video about SID TOVKA3A, today it is TOVKA5A, but id doesnt matter. When I give this sid to FMC, it didnt do circle about airport, it is very similar to TOVKA5K, so can you help me??? Is theer any chance that thay chance this SID??? Sorry for my English :D
Maybe they have changed the SID, you should check the chart to see if it still requires you to make this circle. If the FMC doesn't draw it properly, you can always fly it manually! :)
AviationPro No, the GPU usually only has one core. The processors these days usually have 2 or 4 (up to 64 for insane overkill). 4 cores are the most common for gamers. The problem is that all the graphics rendered by the GPU needs to be processed by the CPU. It's when the CPU or GPU driver cannot render fast or correctly graphical bugs happen. But when it comes to programs such as Prepar3D that run on Dx9, it is programmed to put all the GPU's rendering on one CPU core. Prepar3D has too much graphic to render for most medium or medium to high end CPU's for only one core, which means that the CPU cannot keep up with the demand of the GPU. This results in lag and stuttering. When I play Prepar3D my GPU is on an average of 50% and my CPU 1st core constantly on 100% with an aveage of 35 fps. If it wasn't for my CPU, I could have rendered over 60+ frames easily on my GPU. This problem could be fixed if Prepar3D migrated to Dx11 or later so that the program is optimized to put all the GPU rendering on more than just the one core. But Prepar3D is better than any other plane simulator that can use Vatsim and proper mods.
Are you sure? Prepar3D is multicore nowadays, it either uses all cores or you can set an affinity mask to only run it on 4 or 3 cores (if you have hyper threading enabled). I think Prepar3D V3 uses DirectX11 actually. Only old simulators like FS2004 or older versions of Prepar3D still use DirectX9.
AviationPro When ever I launch it it uses dx9, I am not sure if they have added dx11 and if so that they've fixed the problem with the 1 core rendering issue. As far as I know the game uses multiple cores, but only one for rendering. This is my issue on Prepar3D V3.
You can check out my specs in the description. Remember: you will need to adjust the settings I mention yourself, because every system is different: there is no single "best" tweak. That's also why I can't send you my Prepar3D.cfg, because it makes no sense and causes errors because of different hard- and software ;). Thanks for watching! :)
"Upgraded" from FSX to P3D yesterday, made your tweaks today.. What just happened? Everything is running so smooth :o Thank you so much! :-)
Glad to hear that, you're welcome! :)
Hi AviationPro ,I'm running a Z97 motherboard

Yet, another amazing video from you! As a new P3D user, I'm getting ready to configure the sim and make it as smooth as possible. Thanks!
Thank you! ;)
I followed your advice and I am back in business. You really know what you are talking about. I went from 25 fps to 150 in a few minutes. THANK YOU
I'm glad to hear that, thanks for watching! :)

I cant get over how much this helped me, thank you again :D Also keep up the good work
You're welcome! :D
My P3D is running smoother than ever, many thanks
You're welcome!
The FPS decreases a little when looking at areas with buildings or lots of traffic around, but still, I felt a nice FPS increase, thanks man!
+Gabriel Vitali Glad it works for you, thanks for watching! :)
great video, I'll experiment with my settings sometime. When I first setup p3d, I set it up just enough to fly, but never really optimized it.

I'm sick of being told on my approach at FL120 "123, cleared to land runway 34L, turn right a full 360 degrees, roll inverted and climb to FL140, check gear down".
I use pro atc, love it..

where specifically in the cfg file should I input the Affinity Mask? Thanks

Thank you! Yes, that happens to me too sometimes when it's very foggy, especially with some cloud textures of REX. Disabling can indeed help a lot ;)

Kan ik hiermee P3D V4 mee runnen?
Ik had al gekeken op de site van P3D, maar ik wil het graag ook van jou horen.
Gr, Quint
Would you be able to share your settings for version 4 of Prepar3D? as well as any tweaks for the weather settings of Active Sky?
I'm still planning on making a video about that sometime, perhaps somewhere in April. Not much has changed though, but I think I found the best settings for my system right now. Feel free to send an email if you want them earlier than the video :)

You have to add it yourself indeed. You might want to check the description if you need extra help ;)
yeah ;) my bad, i added it, i think mine would be 14 with 4 cores, anyway thanks :)
With your type of system I don't think you need tweaking? 4ghz processor is fast already.
The more fps the better, so yes I do tweak stuff :)
Hi, when will be another vatsim video ? :) I´m really looking forward!! :D
Don't know yet, but soon enough I hope ;)
Thanks for answer. ;)
hi. When i'm instaling control panel for nvidia it's updating my drivers and the p3d doesn' work. When I deinstal it and download not the newest drovers p3d works fine. how can I fixed it to have control panel and ispector without p3d crashing? please advice
Best regards
Not sure, I don't use Nvidia. Use an older driver if needed ;)
Use number 14 for quad core cpu's without hyperthreading. (Still many people have quad cores and the most of them have HT off).
Yes, you can do that, however I need mine to be enabled for other programs.
AviationPro I understand it was not "aimed at you" I know that this fix helps especially in old fsx which tortures core0 with all other "common" software which runs in background :). I wanted to save time with this number to other people which are still using quad core without HT :)

Should I upgrade to AS16 or stay with ASN?
I'm sticking with ASN for now, I still have to discover the true benefits of AS16 over ASN ;)
Hello. Can I ask you what is your GPU drivers and how do you set? I have the R9 280 and CNext 10.01.01.1666. Sorry my English.
Hi, I am using the latest AMD Relive drivers for my R9 390. Most of my settings are kept at default! :)
When I turned vsync off I got an increase of 10 to 15 frames
I would like to discuss the affinity mask a bit further if you don't mind.
I was having a lot of problems with ground textures when i just started with P3D. Since It happend only flying the Aerosoft A32x serie I stumbled on to this threat on the Aerosoft forum: forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/93049-p3d-blurry-terrain-textures-with-airbus-a319/

are i have running p3d for this?
Tell me, u think is possible running P3D with these addons in i7 3770 3.4ghz, 16gb ram hyperX 1600, 7200 hdd and vga r9 280 3bgb 384 bits?
Probably, but I'm not sure if you are going to get 60fps with that, but it should be able to run it.
Thank, im really in love with P3D and all stuff
For i7 85 and 116 seem to work best
YOU ARE GOD Thank you soooo much!!!
I'm currently running P3D on a computer with a GTX 780 and a hexacore processor at 3.5 ghz clocked at 3.9.
I have set an affinity mask to use 4 of these cores. As well as a few minor tweaks.
Therefore I don't understand how I, despite playing around with the settings can ever reach over ~13 fps at scenery airports.
The scary thing is that my FPS doesn't seem to increase by lowering settings, and I notice no difference between the VC in the standard F22 Raptor or my PMDG 737 NGX. Always at 7-13 fps while looking at my scenery.
Do you know what it might mean and do you have any ideas?
Hexacore? Are you sure? Which model is it?
+AviationPro AMD 6300 fx
It is quite well known within the flightsim community that Intel processors work better with Microsoft Flight Simulator and Prepar3D, that could be the first issue. Otherwise, maybe there are too many background processes taking up resources or there is some kind of bottleneck in your system. I'd suggest to do a clean installation of Prepar3D, lower all settings, and work your way from there. And again, play with Tripple buffering, Vertical Sync and the frame rate limiter. Also, try to tweak your Nvidia settings using Nvidia Inspector, because if those settings are too high your video card simply can't handle it.

Hi! I followed your instructions and the game improved a lot! Much smoother and more realistic. But now I try to fly with these settings (with Airbus A320 FL260) the picture suddenly freezes. I can still hear engines running and the ATC, but only picture is frozen. Later I get this "Prepar3d has suddenly stopped and Windows is searching for a solution" -bullshit and the P3D actually shuts down. Do you (or anyone) have any suggestions?
Nice! No idea, make sure you check the Windows logs to see what module crashes Prepar3D, otherwise it's a wild guess.
Hello! The game jammed again today and I found this from the log: menus.dll. So what next?
BTW mine P3D version is 3.4.14
Are you using the default Airbus? Because that happened to me back on FSX, I was almost unable to fly it. The best way I found is fly the Aerosoft Airbus.
Sorry For Late Reply... Try To Go On Google And Type 'menus.dll fix' And Find A Fix :)
Hope It Will Help
Hi aviation pro...wht FPS you get with this setting
About 40-60 as said in the video.
for me run good
thanks
Hallo ik heb sinds kort Prepar3d en ik wil graag PMDG 737 NGX opnieuw installeren op prepar3d maar wanneer ik het wil installeren verschijnt er dit your registry does not show a valid prepar3d(tm) installation location zou u me kunnen helpen om het op te lossen mijn prepar3d locatie is D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3
Je kunt FSX vliegtuigen niet zomaar in Prepar3D installeren. Daar heb je de Estonia Migration Tool voor nodig. Maar alsnog, het zou kunnen dat de FSX NGX versie niet helemaal werkt in Prepar3D. Er is niet voor niets een Prepar3D versie van de NGX ;)
AviationPro ik heb de versie van Prepar3d gekocht maar het blijkt dat pmdg mijn registry key niet vind
Dan kan je het beste even contact opnemen met PMDG of op een forum vragen ;)
AviationPro Probleem opgelost via regedit.
What license for p3d do you have
The professional license
Thanks, What is the difference between the academic and professional license?
The academic license is intended for students, but has a watermark in the top-right corner whenever you run the program. The professional license is intended for professionals (non-students), but does not have the watermark in the corner.
Is this also compatible with FSX?
Some of it may be applicable to FSX, but do note that their .cfg files may differ.
AviationPro Thanks.
Yo no comprender
Bufferpools?
not needed in p3d....
Indeed, no need for adding that line
Where can i find the cfg??
+DatGuyJonny appdata/roaming/lockheed martin/prepar3d v3
AviationPro ah ty I haven't read the description, sorry
When will be new VATSIM video?
Don't know yet ;)
OK
You have video about SID TOVKA3A, today it is TOVKA5A, but id doesnt matter. When I give this sid to FMC, it didnt do circle about airport, it is very similar to TOVKA5K, so can you help me??? Is theer any chance that thay chance this SID??? Sorry for my English :D
Maybe they have changed the SID, you should check the chart to see if it still requires you to make this circle. If the FMC doesn't draw it properly, you can always fly it manually! :)
AviationPro On chart is circle .... :)
Yes, in that case you can fly it manually as well. It's quite fun to do :)
It's a shame Prepar3D renders all it's graphics on One core...
On the GPU you mean?
AviationPro No, the GPU usually only has one core. The processors these days usually have 2 or 4 (up to 64 for insane overkill). 4 cores are the most common for gamers. The problem is that all the graphics rendered by the GPU needs to be processed by the CPU. It's when the CPU or GPU driver cannot render fast or correctly graphical bugs happen. But when it comes to programs such as Prepar3D that run on Dx9, it is programmed to put all the GPU's rendering on one CPU core. Prepar3D has too much graphic to render for most medium or medium to high end CPU's for only one core, which means that the CPU cannot keep up with the demand of the GPU. This results in lag and stuttering. When I play Prepar3D my GPU is on an average of 50% and my CPU 1st core constantly on 100% with an aveage of 35 fps. If it wasn't for my CPU, I could have rendered over 60+ frames easily on my GPU. This problem could be fixed if Prepar3D migrated to Dx11 or later so that the program is optimized to put all the GPU rendering on more than just the one core. But Prepar3D is better than any other plane simulator that can use Vatsim and proper mods.
Are you sure? Prepar3D is multicore nowadays, it either uses all cores or you can set an affinity mask to only run it on 4 or 3 cores (if you have hyper threading enabled). I think Prepar3D V3 uses DirectX11 actually. Only old simulators like FS2004 or older versions of Prepar3D still use DirectX9.
AviationPro When ever I launch it it uses dx9, I am not sure if they have added dx11 and if so that they've fixed the problem with the 1 core rendering issue. As far as I know the game uses multiple cores, but only one for rendering. This is my issue on Prepar3D V3.
You dont really need tweaks in P3D V3, but do what you wanna do...
That's exactly what I am saying in the video. All I'm doing is adding an affinity mask and lowering some internal Prepar3D settings, that's all ;)
