I use this for my GF Efis and works OK with PDMG B737

I cannot understand the logic behind jetways, I noticed they work at some airports and at some doesnt, also at some positions and other dont. I want to know which are the conditions for them to work

Thanks

As my CPU is the bottleneck and runs at its full capacity, and my new GPU at very low capacity, which is shown clearly at the Dev Mode window, what I did was raising Render Scale to its maximun 200, and now "limited by CPU" and "limited by GPU" are shown alternatively.- So now my 1080 display is working at a 3840 X 2160 equivalent resolution, which gives me a dramatic better crisper and great quality image at no cost in FPS, and more on, I could disable anisotropic filtering and super sampling gaining a few FPS more. Also turned up from high to ultra some settings as volumetric clouds, etc, again at no cost in FPS.-

So now at last could get some improvement from my new video card

One other thing to consider is the type and speed the PCIe slot on the motherboard the video card is in. Is it PCIE 2, PCIe3, is the speed x4, x8, x16? A modern card expecting a PCIe 3 or PCIe 4 slot with x16 data bus will run a lot slower if it's in an older, slower spec slot.

Theoretically you are right, but I read some tests about the real diference between PCI 2, PCI 3 and PCI 4 and shows a very little diference in Video Cards real performance, not more than 4%.

Where the PCI 4 shines is when used with SSD NVMe disks.

The i7 990X will only work with DDR-3 memory; but there is one possibility that might buy you some throughput. The i7 990X processor only requires 1066 mz memory which is almost the slowest DDR-3 memory made. If your installed memory is 1066, swapping it out with faster memory might make a difference since you say your CPU is overclocked. With faster memory, you might even be able to overclock it a bit more - if your motherboard will step up the memory timings along with overclocking.

 

The only reason I suggest this is because DDR-3 memory is so cheap these days and you or someone you may know may have some DDR-3 1600 or 1866 gathering dust in a closet.

 

If you do step up the processor throughput of your rig one way or another, please let us know how it affects MSFS performance. This is all very interesting.

I am using 24 Gb DDR3 1333 memory, at three 8 Gb channels, and can buy DDR3 1866 at good price here.- Do you think I can get some better performance ? is worth to get it ?

Thanks

Is your power supply up to the job? I'm not at all sure about this, but what I'm getting at, is might the more powerful GPU be starving the CPU of power? Hence the slighly worse performance.

 

I might be way off on this one, but worth looking into at least...

 

Edit:

Also - and maybe this is just too obvious, but you didn't change ANYTHING ELSE, right? Same resolution, same scaling, same everything. Just double check, perhaps the game reset some settings after it detected a change. Stranger things have happened.

I am using a certified PS of real 650 W.

I made myself your same question, so I previously calculated the needed power with an aplication which calculates the power consumption of all the PC components, and the result was 500 W.

I didnt change any setting either at the NVidia Panel or at the MSFS settings, and tried with several drivers.

For that all is that I am surprised about the performance of the new Video Card, as I expected at least some slight improvement

I upgraded from my GForce 1060 6 GB to a RTX 3060 12 GB videocard, which is supposed to almost double its performance. My results are really dissapointing, as I didnt experience any improvement, but instead also a slightly worse FPM rate of about 5%.-

I tried with the last Nvidia driver using the same settings as before.-

The only diference is that the Developer performance window, shows no more the "limited by GPU" leyend which was common before, red sectors at the GPU line are completely gone, and now only shows "limited by main thread" constantly.-

The system memory usage is not more than 70% (I have 24 GB RAM) and the video memory usage doesnt exceed 6 Gb. -

I use medium to high graphic settings at MSFS.

My CPU is an i7 990X overclocked to 4,5 Ghz (old but reliable),- So I am very surprised and angry for spending about $ 900 for nothing.-

Any opinions ?

Thanks

You are correct that some add-ons may become obsolete and need to be removed -- indeed I have done this. But the OP was claiming that add-ons in general are bad news and should be avoided, which is ridiculous.

Regarding the need to empty your Community folder before MSFS mandatory updates: IF you use an add-on linker that places only links to add-on files, and not the files per se, in Community, then you do NOT need to empty Community, because in that case it always contains only links; the actual files are stored in another folder and cannot be affected by an update.

The fact that Addon Linker, at the community folder puts shortcuts to the mods, and not the mods themselves, only means that MSFS looks for the mods via the shortcuts, but it has access to them, and are indeed active that way. So IMHO, should the content of the community folder be some kind of menace for MSFS updates, there is no diference about using or not using the Addon Linker.-

But the fact is that mods doesnt modify or overwrite any Asobo file, so in case of having problems, the fix is cleaning or moving away the mods from the Community folder. As far as I know, MSFS just allows mods to take precedence, if they improve or modify any Adobo file, without letting any modifications to the original one.

I have the same problem, so I deleted the file.

I dont think is a Windows problem as the CRJ is the only aircraft which causes it.

I sent a ticket to Aerosoft, who responded it with some advises that werent effective

Has somebody make the GOF EFIS work at MSFS ?

Thanks

Is there a purchasing mode which avoids running the sim connected to internet as it happens with Steam ?

Thanks
