Re: For those who haven't noticed...
Well my install downloaded in 20 mins (joys of new 70mb fibre
) and installed yesterday. Havent installed much into it yet, but it runs on my PC so the 2gb 560ti is Ok for now. I did have my p3d set to 20 fps but set unlimited it happily runs faster than that. Noticed blurries with the F-22 in both limited and unlimited fps, guess this is the 560ti being a bottleneck now as my i7 is running at 4.3
. Now for the transfering over from FSX. I did install the S2 Bucc but the weapons wont load so i guess thats the DLL required to be added. Just have to wait for ORBX to be updated to p3d.
Re: For those who haven't noticed...
Don't forget that if you install stuff using a registry alias (i.e. pointing the entry for FSX to P3D instead) to check the dll.xml after installs and copy any entries over to the P3D one.
I keep forgetting to do that

How do I delete the shader cache?DaveG wrote:Pete, did you use P3dV2 with the old card before fitting the 780? If you did, it's best to delete the shader cache or you'll still be using the shaders compiled for the old card.

Re: For those who haven't noticed...
Once again, Dave, thanks for the suggestions. I saw a post here about the shader problem - possibly by you - so I installed the new card first and then P3Dv2 specifically to avoid that possibility. However, I'll try clearing the cache again just in case.DaveG wrote:Pete, did you use P3dV2 with the old card before fitting the 780?

Also, I found having terrain casting shadows switched on caused blurries, so make sure that's off.
Terrain shadow are off (unchecked) and I tried unchecking all shadows but it had no effect on the blurries.
Onwards and upwards!

A little confused about the Bathymetry thing.
I have not got it selected in the options, as recommended. Yet when I just did a quick check over my P3D scenery config, I find it's set as active:

Any ideas about this?[Area.124]

John,
As I understand it bathymetry creates the underwater world in P3D.
