By the way, I forgot to add that I am getting an average of (locked) 40FPS.

Nice..! My new rig is hovering aroung 30, but I have a lot of things spiked. How I do love full autogen and a lot of cars on the freeways. I could never have that in the past. That and AA...
 
According my test P3Dv2 works better on external fps limiter (30fps, Vsync on, 1/2 refresh), not internal (here unlimited).

Interesting.........just the opposite for me. If I limit fps to 30, I get teens. If I go unlimited, I'm in the mid 30's.......

In FSX is too same, better to use external limiter with setting of 1/2 refresh rate of monitor (ex. 30/60). Here no blurry textures so it can be good option with Fiber...=0.1 too.
But for sure it depences like always :).
 
Rebuilt CFG
still using external limiter 26 and in sim 26
Venetubo's tweaks
changed Nvidia card to Performance
threw away my Nvidia settings - use Oleboy's settings instead
p3d used Oleboy's with my lower scenery settings (as have 3 monitors)

Then finally added this amazing AA solution.

Result = AA much much improved (eg A2A Cub = perfect in VC = could not be better) + dark texture issues gone

Happy contented sigh.....thanks to Oleboy!

Goodbye FSX!

So, as described in the link you provided, you finally had to activate the transparency antialiasing in order to get a decent AA in P3D ?
That would be the same as in FSX in DX10 mode, then.
Tranparency AA kills my FPS as soon as there are too much clouds or smoke on my screen, which is why I HATE that mode. :(

What are your results in P3D with bad weather with these settings ?
 
It's good to see you finally got things to a pleasing state of personal desires, P38man. I'll try the AA trick myself. Thanks for bringing that to us here.

Sorry I missed this, Daube.

I have no weather literally, sunny and cloudless. With 3 screens it ain't happening until I get a new graphics card.
