answered P3D V4.5 & Orbx True Earth GB South Minimum Specs

[WarriorPilot]

Hi folks,

 

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I am having extreme difficulty trying to get P3D V4.5 to run Orbx True Earth GB South smoothly.  It is just so blocky and delayed with any command movements I make in the aircraft it unworkable.  I thought my PC would have been adequate enough but it may not be the case.  I have tried to find minim specs to run the above but have been unsuccessful in finding anything anywhere and would be grateful for any help/advice.

 

My PC Specs are as follows:

 

OS - Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

 

CPU - Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz  Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology

 

RAM – Slot 1 -  DDR3 4096 MB Samsung Max PC3-12800 (800 MHz)

RAM – Slot 2 -  DDR3 4096 MB Samsung Max PC3-12800 (800 MHz)

 

Motherboard – ASRock Z77 Extreme 4

 

Graphics Card – GeForce GTX 180 G1 Gaming 8GB

 

C Drive - Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB

P3D Drive – 2 x Integral 120GB P Series 5 SATA III 2.5" SSD Drive - 560MB/s

 

Flight Sim Controller - Saitek (Logitech) X52

 

P3D Version – 4.5.11.29713

Sim Connect Version – 4.5.0.0

 

Thank you.

Hello,

there are no published minimum specs for TEGB South for P3D.

 

I do think that 8 GB of system RAM is really not enough for P3D itself, except perhaps

in its default state, it may be that Winows is forced to use the page file and this is slowing things down.

 

You can see that your system is not quite up to the recommended standard.

I would imagine that your Intel Core i5 2500K would overclock very easily with decent cooling.

Mine was happy at 4.2 ghz, as set by Overclockers.co.uk.

Nick, thank you so much for your expedited reply and advice.

 

It is very kind.  I now know where to focus my attention.

 

Kind regards,
