Gents.
Thank you so much for your input. Highly useful info.
The only possible affordable GPU with over 8GB VRSAM is a 3060 but it seems to have bad reviews.
Any comment on that aspect?

Probably not much help for you Jon , but I run a RTX 3060 in the beta with no issues . DX12 is very smooth on my 32 “
desktop monitor .
Cheers

No Brad that is useful info. Do you use DLSS or is it not enabled in beta?
Thanks

I am currently running a 1080Ti it doesn't have the DLSS or Raytrace facility.
Due to tight budgeting I am looking to replace it in order to maximise the SU10 features of DLSS in particular.
I would like to get some feedback please from current SU10 beta users who run RTX 3070 GPUs.
Are they good performers in 3840 x2160 (4K) ?
I have a very limited budget and will probably go for a used one as I did for the current 1080Ti.
I can go lower than a 3070 but not higher.

I had not thought about the formatting as there was no mention of the SSD being EXFAT.
I don't know much about formatting but I have come across formatting issues before and know that disks need to be in NTFS.
Why? I have no idea.
Glad it is now resolved and a useful bit of info for others.

I suggest you also ask in the X-plane .org forum https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/forum/615-x-plane-12/
There may well be parts of the beta content that is affecting load times in comparison to XP11.

Hi Tom
The sequence you have shown in your reply regarding below or above Global airports is correct.
It doesn't matter what drives your addons are as they will show in the scenery packs as SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery.
I have addons on 3 different drives.
Regarding Terra Flora. I note you have HD forests installed as well, so really there is a duplication of forest addons. You also have FlyAgi vegetation which I don't know if it also has trees in it.
I suggest you choose which you want to use as currently one will be redundant.
Terra Flora replaces the default forest image and tries to place the correct types of trees in the correct geographical places.
I am unsure of what HD Trees does, but I do know that only one "forest" type addon is required.
Terra Flora is fine under Global Airports. You can leave it where it is currently

Thanks for the comments.
Yes it was included in the World Update for UK.
I particularly like the detailed rock which is very impressive.
No addons were used except to conform to Screenshot rules, like the Aerosoft DH 6

Got to be one of the most picturesque places in UK.
Here are various shots of the Out Skerries. Note the salmon farms:

I just installed DD Seattle Airports, followed all the compatibility instructions. I see no floating buildings or planes at either Renton or Seattle -Tacoma.
Do you want me to offer you the reworked apt.dat file with the necessary changes made?
Renton:
KSEA:

What could you not find?

Attach your scenery_packs.ini because it may be incorrectly layered.
I will check it out for you.
All the floating planes and buildings etc that you refer to are not seen by others using Seattle Airports with TE Washington that I am aware of.
-
Your scenery_packs is layered incorrectly.
You need to place ALL the True earth files of Custom, Overlay and Orthos, directly under Global Airports.
Place any True Earth airport files contained within a TE download , like this for example SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Orbx_A_US_Florida_Airports/ above Global airports
Then place ALL 3rd party airport above Global Airports
When you have done that, run the Verify files for TE Oregon
Your log file is stating in cannot find certain files in Oregon/Custom and Oregon/overlay.
This may be an incomplete installation of TE Oregon, or those files are being masked by other addons being placed above where TE Oregon should be in the scenery_packs

Have you looked at this topic?

@PH2 New update available. V 1.2.1

Please read this:
-
Creating "shortcuts" in the true sense of the word will not allow any updates to the addon via Orbx Central. In order for updates to be performed via OC you must
symbolic link (not shortcut). Addonlinker for example creates symbolic links to the Community folder.

What is the version number you have installed?

Just tried some TrueEarth sceneries and they definitely seem to work fine. However you miss out on some of the XP12 improvements, most noticeably the trees still have that XP11 radioactive glow when backlit and they aren't as detailed as the XP12 stock trees. Hopefully improvements will be made later as XP12 nears its full release.
The radio active glow is the sim and not any TE content, but trees in TE addons remain as they were. My understanding is that if trees were default trees in XP11 addons, then they would be replaced by the new 3D ones, but TE addons use Terra Flora tress ad so they remain as in XP11. This maybe something that is being looked at but I have no knowledge to date on this.

UPDATE: Well ... I'm afraid simply linking to any of the Orbx products isn't going to work
Hi Adam
I have to disagree with you mate.
I symbolic linked Orbx LOWI and all worked fine. On Youtube I was watching a vid of TE Washington in XP12 and I am just about to "link" that to XP12 and see if i get good results.
I have kept my XP11 installation, and specifically the Custom Scenery folder so I can just either symbolic link the whole Custom Scenery to XP12 or, as I am doing at present, individually, linking LOWI and TE Washington. If TE Washington is OK then i might just link the XP11 Custom Scenery folder and see what happens !
The problem at the moment, in my case, is that Orbx Central does not show XP12 as an available sim despite the XP installer txt being in AppData/local as the installer txt file for XP11 is.
This something that maybe @Ed Correia or @Sante Sottile could advise on?
-
This should help
In the link it is mentioned that the new water effects are currently being worked on by Orbx to allow the new effects to work on Orbx scenery.
Trees are also different and may need rework. None of this info is "insider" knowledge just based on what I have read or watched regarding XP12.
@COFlyer Do you still have XP11 installed with a Custom Scenery folder in tact?
If so then just symbolic link that existing Custom Scenery folder to your new XP 12 directory and delete the Custom Scenery folder that XP 12 created.
This way you don't have to reinstall anything, and it will allow you to see for yourself what works OK.
When you are satisfied with what you think works and what doesn't then you can decide whether to do a new installation of your addons directly into XP12
Please note that Laminar did express that any new version of XP must be at least one back version compatible to allow addons to be compatible. There will be exceptions where a completely new component is introduced like the new water.

REX is intended NOT to be installed into MSFS>
Create f older on a suitable drive, could be the same drive as your sim, name it is REX Seasons.
Now in Orbx Central/settings/libraries create a library. In the Library Path, go to the new REX Seasons folder and click on it
Now download it and when offered where to install it, choose the Library named REX Seasons

Any RTX 3070 users in MSFS SU10 beta?

@craigeaglefire
I was just looking at 2080Ti and then you appear to have had one and was disappointed. Correct?
2080Ti does well in reviews so I would be interested to know your experience with it and why you changed it out. Or are you just rich
