Thinking of moving to P3D - this might help your decision - Stunning 

 

This was just the factory building storms theme in P3D - not bad - clouds by REX4

 

Sorry for the quality the original is much better

Hi do the Rex 4 clouds impact performance over the stock clouds, I am very impressed with P3D also

No but I use 512 res textures imagine if I used the large ones - hmm I should try that next time

 

Hmm looks blurry compared to my original - hate that

The larger ones add a little to the visual up close, but 512 often suffices. That being said, I don't recall the larger ones affecting FPS too much. Haven't tried since 2.3.

 

Richard, do you use 32bit or DT5? I haven't tried since 2.3, but DT5 was not as good performance wise as 32bit. If you haven't tried 32bit give it a shot.

 

I also am curious as to what HDR textures do. It's hard to see the difference without a comparison screenshot.

Clouds are often blurry in real life, so this looks good to me  :BigGrin:

 

But do the ground shadows cause any fps hit?

 

With every version of P3D it gets harder and harder to resist.

They do cause a hit, but not nearly as much with 2.3. 2.2 had issues.

 

Just don't set all the building and all the veg to cast shadows. That will kill FPS (unless you have a ballsy system)

Amazing comments Guys - thank you

I use 32bit - clouds P3D textures enabled I am not seeing much of a hit with clouds and cloud shadows on -- super - has to be the Titan card doing its thing - I had only vehicle - interior and clouds cast shadows - water reflections - should try to add more features

 

 

I cant fly without HDR enabled brings the sim to life - like drab to glorious its amazing

 

Take care all     :drinks:
