Good video, Ola. The other difference I find is that AA looks much better with HDR enabled (4x SSAA+FXAA) vs HDR disabled (16x extreme) full screen 1920x1200 on a GTX 680. EDIT: Curiously 8x AA with HDR disabled looks better than 16x.

I'm still on 314.22 for my GTX 680. See little reason to go with newer drivers.

My favorite bush planes are STMA's Beaver and Carenado's C185 with the Bush Extension Pack.

Nice shots!

Beautiful, isn't it?

I'm jealous.

This is great news! I'm looking forward to adding the Saab to my fleet!

You should. It's a great plane.

I guess all we can do is hope for the best.

Interesting presentations. There's a part of me that recalls a comment being made by one of the X-Plane developers that GPU drivers are single-threaded, hence the single X-Plane rendering thread. (Disclaimer: I could be very wrong about this.) Have you been in contact with Ben lately regarding any progress?

It'll be a great day for X-Plane when the Saab is officially released. I'm really looking forward to it.

Gotta get a set of these...

Happened to catch a meaningless coincidence...

The DC-3 has absolutely nothing to do with your GPU faults. There is a known issue with TDRs (Timeout Detection and Recovery) with the NVIDIA drivers after version 314.22. Since the GTX 700 Series GPU cards require drivers from 320 and higher, they are affected. NVIDIA is working on this and should have a remedy for this issue relatively soon. The 326.80 Beta is available for testing, but a small percentage of users are still experiencing some problems. There is a theory circulating (only a theory) that some recent Windows updates may be at the root of the problem.

Perhaps you should try this forum.

I bet you're proud of yourself for finding that one. But you entirely missed the point. I never intimated that criticism doesn't serve a purpose. The unhealthy state of things here is that you spend too much time throwing stones at other people's work and don't get enough of your own done.

Thanks for the explanation, Ben. It makes sense.

Curious. The log shows me the same error I occassionally receive when shutting down X-Plane without changing to a different plane. Your workaround, however, seems to do the trick.

Fair enough. But it is the highest resolution license check I have ever seen.

No worries. I'm sure you'll get it sorted.

The update is much appreciated! I do have a couple of questions though: 1. Is it really necessary for the DRM to check itself once every 5 seconds? A long flight will really fill up the log. Even if just left at the end of a runway, it'll fill up the log. 2. If I quit X-Plane with the CRJ loaded, the CRJ Avionics plugin occassionally hangs and prevents X-Plane from closing. I need to force quit X-Plane. If I switch away from the CRJ to any other aircraft before quitting X-Plane, no problem.

As usual, your customer support is exemplary.

Trust me, this topic isn't worth a fight... The point I was trying to make is these days we see and hear about every little wart and pimple about everything because countless news outlets and bloggers need something to fill time and space. And the more sensational, the better. It would be fair to say the media is hypersensitized to issues with the 787. Because of the well-publicized lithium battery problem, it has become a favorite target. Now, a fuel pump alarm goes off and all of a sudden there's another "major issue" with the Dreamliner. In 35 years of airline business travel and even in my own aircraft, I can't tell you how many times a flight was delayed or an early landing was necessary due to some issue deemed by the PIC to be worthy of some investigation. None of them made the news headlines, much less with the hysteria seen today. There is a reason why there are redundant systems on an aircraft. S--t is going to happen. In other words, we need to step back and look at the bigger picture and keep matters in proper perspective. Boeing does not need to rethink the whole aircraft. [using your words]

Clearly, you missed my point.
