Turns out on a direct GPS route from Santa Barbara (KSBA) to Palm Springs (KPSP) you fly right over Burbank (KBUR).

Amazingly nostalgic.

Here we are in the C195 doing touch and gos around KBUR. Frame rates are 32.7 with the settings one notch below full right. I gotta say this is pretty amazing. And Here we are on an ILS approach to runway 8. Frame rates are a bit lower but still smooth.

For those who don't know Mono Lake is east of Yosemite in the high desert close to the California Nevada boarder. It is salty and the water is undrinkable.

Nice!

Terrace (CYXT) in British Columbia is a great little airport in a beautiful little valley.

Very nice!

P3Dv5.2HF1, True Earth Washington, Rex Sky Force. Albedo C170b. This is taking off northward from Walter Sutton's Private Strip.

Nice group of shots. What we need is a contest for the coldest shot.

Very interesting shot.

Somewhere in Northern California on a flight to Walla Walla Washington. Albedo c170b, True Earth Northern California, Rex Sky Force, P3dv5.2HF1.

It takes working on settings with your monitor and video card as well as in the program itself. If you have the setting, try adjusting the color temperature to about 6400.

This is Going south on the way to the SF Bay Area in the C210T. Its turbocharged so you can fly high and fast. This is at about 15,000 feet. There was a good tailwind so about 200 kts if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the compliment! that's True Earth Oregon a few miles north of Murray and The Abledo Cessna 170b.

Very Nice!

Wain71, According to the documentation with the hot fix part of the reason for the Hotfix was to fix some CTD issues.

Hotfix 1 is available. I downloaded and installed. LM has taken it up another notch. Clouds and lighting now even better.

The only time I have had a CTD is when I try to change the terrain settings in flight.

I got a message when I tried to log in at another flight sim site that said there had been a data breach and I needed to check my passwords. That did not make sense to me and the message seemed a bit scammy so I just exited with out logging in. This problem could be related to the grwing number of flight simmers.

True Earth and regions on the West Coast are well worth it with one caveat. The eastern part of Oregon, Washington and parts of eastern California are very dry and in True Earth look very desert like. I live in southwestern Oregon. I can tell you as for eastern Oregon, east of Klamath lake, there is really not much out there. Not much to see but if you like frame rates around 100, its the place to fly. Also, for some reason in True Earth Medford came out too blue. The Medford airport, KMFR, has an interesting ILS approach on runway 14 You come in between two table top mountains and it can get very bumpy. Also, a bit east of Medford on the approach circuit to runway 32 you fly right pass Roxy Ann, an extinct volcano, and then do a descending right hand 180 to land at KMFR. East of Roxy Ann is Agate lake. Just north of Agate lake there is a tiny airstrip in True Earth. Its where my rc model airplane club airfield is located. True Earth Oregon is the only time I have ever seen that air strip displayed in flight simming.

You can reduce the load time a bit by putting the level of detail radius to medium or less. My rule of thumb is don't make the system do anything you can't see. So if you can't really see any detail don't make the system try to display it. I usually cannot see any details way out there. In may case that's because I am near sighted I am not used to clearly seeing things in the far distance so it actually looks less real to me on the screen if far off details are too sharp.

I just completed a flight out of Pearson field, KVUO, which is close to Portland up to Tacoma Narrows, KTIW. In FSX with my old system I could not fly out of Pearson as frame rates were in single digits. In P3Dv5.2 with my new system frame rates were in the low 40's with nearly all settings at High. Vram went to about 5gb. Weh I reloaded north of Portland vram dropped to a bit over 3gb. Flying in to Tacoma I watched vram closely because in 5.1 flying out of Tacoma with the same settings vram went over 8 gb and the system crashed. I had to lower settings to about medium to fly out after restarting. This time in 5.2 flying into Tacoma with the settings at High vram went up to 6.4 gb and frame rates were very smooth. Total ram usage went to a bit over 9 gb. With True Earth in 5.2 flying out of Portland and into Tacoma were two of the most amazing things I have seen in 15 years of flight simming.
