Jack Sawyer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well, it needs the Orbx treatment. I need to set up my controls and a LOT of other stuff but this sim is as smooth as silk, not one stutter. I know this will probably change in the future. 60+ frames. Just took off from KATL. No yellow, no inverted, and boy do I look forward to Orb being installed!

TigerTigerM Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Jack What are the main differences between v3.4 & v4 that you have noticed so far?? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'll add to Jack's findings - all sliders maxed - I am getting like 50-80 FPS with Anisotropic 16X, 8XSSAA and Ultra 4096X4096 (I'll likely turn these down a bit in reference to future ORBX installs) so far - visibly impressed. 1) Dino Cataneo's F35 loads, as does the Tomcat have not yet tried the T45 2) Unfortunately Hover Control Helicopters loads, but the cockpit is all flawed (no nose piece on cabin) So much work to do to get all planes checked - and write to authors to see if they will address Have fun everybody.

TTM Extremely smooth, not one stutter, but this is pure vanilla. I haven't changed one setting yet. The installer will auto-detect your hardware and set the settings as it sees fit. I'm just collecting all the settings right now from P3D to match them in V4. Haven't had much time to play with it. Also, beware, some hardware needs to have a setting changed, there's a huge thread on it at P3D and what happens is what happened to me. I installed V4 and it would not run. Did some digging on their forum and found it was my Orb Weaver. Made a settings changer per the P3D engineer's advice and now we're all happy. I can't wait to get my Orbx stuff in it though.

GregJ Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I just opened the Sim object folder they come in and copied to P3D4's folder...you have to provide admin rights to it first, and then did same for effects folder!

Steve Colbert Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Looks and sounds good, guys! I'm hoping this is the sim that lets me enjoy Orbxland again, and with a new GPU too (for anyone wondering If I'd been kidnapped etc., I had a little sultry love affair with XP11 due to P3D performance issues on my rig (and to be honest I do love XP11 + Ortho4XP) - but I'm installing P3D v4 as we speak! Hope to be back in the screenshot forums using all my goodies soon - I'm going to be like Hugh Heffner, except with a gorgeous sim on each arm (or something? ;)) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Great shots, Jack. Once everything ORBX etc is installed and you want to max out all sliders, you may want to consider upgrading from 8GB of RAM to 16GB. It's also good to know that the Dino Cataneo Tomcat works in v4. I wonder how this is possible, but it lets me hope that some other freeware planes might work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've installed v4, and will have a play with it, but I feel like I've dropped back almost to my first FSX setup - it looks pretty awful to my eyes and I don't feel much inclination to go flying in it. I know it will be a huge improvement once I can start putting the icing on the cake, but it is a salutary reminder of just how good the ORBX products are. I knew that anyway, but it is a shock to see a bare P3D system again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good questions, with my 8GB I'll be limited till this fall when I can get a PC overhaul. But one thing's for sure, after Orbx and my PMDG 747 and A2A planes, no more VAS OOM's!

Although when it's up to 3.4's speed it'll be pretty darned near perfect. It took a long time to get y 3.4 to where it is and I reckon it'll take some time for V4 to be where 3.4 is now. But goodbye OOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
