<t>Afternoon Hermes, <br/> <br/> Wow talk about a performance bump. Frame rates rarely fall past 25 now, compared with low teen levels a day ago. This is great... thanks again. And by the way, my graphics are bumped up VERY high across the board. The only variable which is lower is traffic related (...

<r>Good Afternoon Everyone, <br/> <br/> Thanks to everyone for the ongoing feedback. So here's the update as of this afternoon. The joystick still remains nonexistent <E>:(</E> within Prepar3d. I removed the CH Manager/drivers entirely, rebooted, permitted W8.1 drivers to install, and also made sure...

Thanks a bunch Hermes. I'll start tweaking and will report back! Likely will use task hacker or a common process utility for 8.1 to set a default priority on Prepar3d. Great info, thanks!

Hi Carl,

*sighs*, wish that was my problem. I've been in a 2.0 USB port...

<t>Thanks Hermes, appreciate your feedback. Wow, very material results with those two variables alone. The stutters I was experiencing are completely gone, and am maintaining a 28-30fps. Very cool. And this is with Orbx Global, Vector, Regions, A2A + PMDG + Realair planes. Outstanding. <br/> <br/> -...

<t>Hi Saul, <br/> <br/> Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm not so much concerned with finding "optimal" settings relative to anyone else, but more concerned with knowing what settings actually make changes in the simulator. On the tuning performance page Prepar3d published, do all of these cfg...

<t>Thanks Lif, appreciate the +1. <br/> <br/> I come across SO many opinions, guides, etc. regarding Prepar3d tweaks, but with so many changes across versions, I'm certain some of these "performance tuning" tips are irrelevant. So rather than spending hours tweaking settings to find optimal frame ra...

Good Morning Support:

Really quick question for the team. Does the tuning guide published by Prepar3d still apply to the latest v2.5? Or is this outdated with settings that don't apply anymore?

Thanks!

Good Morning Support:

If there isn't a solution to the joystick problem above, as it seems many report this problem, is there a way for me to hardcode joystick key assignments through an XML or CFG file?

Thanks,
Benjamin

<t>Good Afternoon Support, <br/> <br/> Unfortunately since the v2.5 upgrade (w. the latest hotfix applied), my CH Flightstick Pro isn't recognized within Prepar3d. While with 2.4 this occasionally occurred, usually a quick alt-enter would do the trick. I also tried reinstalling the drivers... but no...

Outstanding, thank you Rana. Looking forward to the v2.5 push, as I was waiting it out a bit.

Good Afternoon,

Thanks a bunch for getting these patches out so swiftly. One quick question though. When we perform a clean install of Prepar3d v2.5, do we apply each hotfix or only the latest hotfix?

Thanks!
Benjamin

<t>Hi Ein, <br/> <br/> Somewhat reminds me of an old school Windows reformat though, where it was always highly recommended by the MSFT development team to install fresh versus upgrade from an existing release. While I love the simplicity of a straight upgrade, I will say with any O/S in the past in...

<r>Morning All, <br/> <br/> Hi Ein., yep - I go straight to: <URL url="http://www.evga.com/support/download/">http://www.evga.com/support/download/</URL><br/> <br/> Latest release through EVGA:<br/> <br/> Release Date Type Version OS URL Notes<br/> 2-10-2015 Driver 347.52 Windows 8/8.1 64bit<br/> <b...

Hi Ein.,

Yea, basically with the latest EVGA drivers for my 780, all runway lights vanish. The moment I downgraded my GPU driver though, the lights came back. I'll let you know how 2.5 goes, still in the process of installing things... takes forever.
