olderndirt Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 All I ever inherited was good looks, charm and cunning and none of it works anymore. All those SSD's make me so green I feel like a State Capitol dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the XP trial version installed, adjusted the screen resolution and got the flight controls somewhat set up but I have way too many other things to do to sit down with it and really learn it. Soon though when things settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Jack: a fantastic rig, and because of the kindness of SWMBO, I plan to upgrade soon to almost exactly your setup, so thanks I have sent your specs to my tech. However I have found that setting every graphics setting to max, and bringing other sliders back has finally given me some decent in focus views. The graphics are superb.

SWMBO, I love it! She Who Must Be Obeyed! I have my settings exactly like Iain's except I use PTA. And I get good frames and very smooth flying. There's some places in Alaska with AS4 on I'm sure it'll bog down but overall it's really nice. And, I don't think even the computers on the Star Trek Enterprise or all of the NSA's computers could make P3D run any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A320 is so different, I love the way they designed it but it's not in any way, shape, matter, or form designed to be hand flown with the throttles. With this Alpha Floor and all that it takes a lot of control out of the pilot's hands. So I have to keep shutting of the auto throttles because it turns itself back on!

Thanks Martyn, to me LOWI is the Orbx "gold standard", I personally think this one and Valdez are the best, just my opinion but the realness of LOWI is captivating. And thanks, it will soon be long in the tooth, Moore's Law and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the same PTA and REX settings as on the last PC but not using the sun and sky color mods on the last one either. So I think it's a huge improvement.
