siege00 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Hi @Cameron, The 1.0.3 installer is still pulling down and says "Unable to download component TBM 900: File not found". It did uninstall itself. Thanks, Edited October 23, 2018 by siege00

siege00 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Got it. And I was a little quick on the link. Thank you!
coolhand Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Nice Update, almost 10 more fps same conditions! Its a wonderful plane. Good work. I7-4790 / Nvidia 1070 8Gb / 16G RAM 2
pcartier1960 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Wow nice update! I don't think I am going to fly anything else (time to purge my hanger)
marpilot Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks for the fast update of this amazing plane. With GTX 980 I get 25-30 FPS at LFMD in CAVOK. Not so bad but I usually fly online with realweather (clouds) and rendering goes too slow. I hope Vulcan will help in the future because I am not going to buy another GPU for the plane to fly smoothly. With C172 I have 50-70 in the same cavok condition. I wonder how many simmers have GPU like 1080 or higher...10% ? More or less? Cheers

Expand 1080 series were a pretty sizable jump from a 980. That said, majority of customers have pretty high end GPUs. We will continue looking at options, but I won't lie and say the 980 isn't getting a little long in the tooth. On the flip side, whenever you do upgrade, that's going to feel like a BIG jump with today's GPU tech!

Cheers Expand it's mainly for the VRAM (11Gb) even with my 1080ti, it doesn't go up to 50% usage in 2K (CPU limited: 4790k @4.6 GHz). I hope will be more CPU friendly in the futur

I think something is wrong with X-plane rendering engine. It is crazy that it forces us to buy so expensive hardware.
Floater Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 hmm...I just tried to instal the update. But it looks like the Installer does nothing. Same picture for roughly 15 minutes now

Ifikratis Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks again! This team's professionalism has left me speechless
morpheus2939 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 sorry to post again, but the old the original topic is locked, still can not move the crashbar, log is attached now, thanks for investigating, unfortunately the product is unusable for me so far since release Log.txt

Expand Same settings, i fly in south america with ortho4xp sceneries at zl16. In SAZM it jumped from 30 fps to almost 40 fps in CAVOK conditions. With a stratus layer it drops to ~32 fps The VRAM usage is almost 5.5g (photoscenery uses lots of VRAM) Best regards Fernando.

Expand do you mind sharing your setting ? 25-30 FPS with some clouds is quite nice, ( My VRAM is often between 8-10Gb) I have an 4790k @4.6 and GTX 1080ti on a 1440p monitor but have very low FPS in general, I just formated my Xplane 11 SSD and will reinstall it from scratch, i hope to have correct FPS

You should get way more than that with your specs. Try to load the plane in SAZM airport, and check fps. Take into account that the autogen density is way lower than in europe. Which nvidia driver version do you have? Best regards Fernando
Seamaster Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 I don’t see the chart and checklist on MFD after 1.0.3 version updated
Floater Posted October 24, 2018 Report Posted October 24, 2018 There is so much I want to say. But let's make this quick: thank you for this great aircraft! I will log many hours in the next few days 1
