  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

JF Tornado GR1 RELEASED

Also, as a complex aircraft it's best to launch a flight in the Tornado directly from the main menu after starting FSX/P3D, rather than switching from another aircraft, to avoid causing any issues with the gauge initialisation.

The Saudi's seem to be changing their tonka's from sand camo to grey.

Just downladed at Flightsm, very nice! THANK YOU
Like the comment posted there I fully agree about Italian Tornado,
Italian normal line paints have been a little underestimated.

My simulator is brought down to some stills with this one, 0,4 frs! Really? No point in keeping this one on my drive, sorry.

Edit: I have some more acceptable results now but it still is a heavy one on the frs.

If you are experiencing very low FPS then please check that you are not running the simulator with compatibility mode enabled, as that has been known to the cause that issue.

Thanks

That's right, but after I had the compatability disabled I stilll remained very poor on the framerates.

It'll always be a demanding product due to its complexity but you can find more information on optimising performance (a tool is included for that) on the support page. In P3D v4, using a fairly modest PC, I get approx 50-60 FPS in the VC and 90+ FPS in the exterior view. If you are using a modern gaming PC and are seeing less than that, then it might be worth getting in touch with our support team.

Thanks

Heads up: Service Pack 5 is out. The Tonka is now P3Dv4 compatible.

And let's see if the installation folder restriction has indeed been relaxed or lifted.

I am running the P3dV4 sp5 version outside the "Prepar3D v4" sim folder, no issues so far (I also moved the custom font file and effects to external folders which are aliased in fonts.cfg and effects.cfg).
 
I might give that SP5 a try somewhere in the coming weeks, but I'm not in a hurry.
Even the SP4 was too heavy for my computer. After setting all the options to minimum in the configuration tool, the FPS are just acceptable, but only on the parking. As soon as I start moving/flying, the scrolling smoothness is totally destroyed.
I assume my CPU, a very old i7 960, is not up to the task.

In the meanwhile, I bought the SSW Tornado, which is very fluid all the time. The JF Tornado does look better, yes, but I just can't fly it. The situation will probably be better once I get a newer computer, of course... I hope...
