alexzar14 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I searched for the simple question (the very first that comes to mind) and wasn't able to find it. Knowing the VAS issues have been addressed, I am not asking about improvements in VAS. My question is concerning performance (fps rate) - any improvements? 1/2 year ago I bought V2.5, the performance was poor and far inferior to FSX so I stayed with FSX. Was this issue at all dealt with in V3? I do understand the possible increase in performance would be about 3-7%, given that the issue has been worked on to begin with...

lnuss Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 1/2 year ago I bought V2.5, the performance was poor and far inferior to FSX so I stayed with FSX. Wow. I had a huge performance improvement from FSX to P3D v2. Perhaps something wasn't set up right, or maybe you need a better video card. Sorry I don't have much info on V3. Larry N.

mallcott Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 VAS is improved, but with tessellation and increased GPU usage if you have an ubalanced system, then you aren't gong to see any improvement between 2.5 and v3. At the end of the day hardware drives software. It's an immutable truth. Want more fps? Get a better computer, not a more complex simulator. Why are you focussed on fps improvements? The sim relies on smoothness, not pixel refresh rates. Anyways, you can try for yourself. P3d v3 comes with the same 60-day money back guarantee as 2.5. Let us know how you get on.

alverthein Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I would guess you could find the exact improvements/updates on Prepar3D Forums, but one would have to judge what his/her computer displays in various places around the globe....Personally, I like FSX Gold becuz it has everything I have purchased...I also like Version 3 plus the word I use to describe on my rig is "Clarity" to my eyes is very impressive. The downside to me is addons from FSX are either not put in V3 with ease for the non techie without lots of help or tweaking. IMHO...al v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmann Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 P3Dv3 gives lower FPS on my computer compared to FSX. With FSX I can set my FPS locked at 30 and it can maintain it. In P3Dv3 I have to set my FPS locked at 20 and even then it drops to 15 in the clouds! Mike Mann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torkermax Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I find V3 to have as good if not better performance than FSX-SE. It takes a heftier computer to do so though. I see no mention of hardware.

Bobsk8 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I get just about the same FPS in V3 as I did in V2.5. No appreciable difference on my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alverthein Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 As we speak, my Level D 767 in FSX is getting between like 36 -mid 40s with 50 fps at FL270 over the Rockies out of Denver headed to SanFran.....and I think my FSX fps are similar to Ver3 on my rig...but I like having Ver 3 and I fly each on daily...al v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg16 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hi I resently got V3, maybe this a stupid question or :) sorry. Flying the stock Beech Baron with stock scenery VC i´m getting up to 180 fps, when i open a new view on my tv fps drops to below 100. Hope it doesn´t break the sim or the plane or what do you think.
