The Home of FlyInside Flight Simulator FFS FSX P3D and X-PLANE Message Board

Since posting and as others have done, you can up the resolution as much as you can and still remain flicker free. I think I currently have it at medium or medium-high resolution.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I was at full resolution after I updated the nvidia settings, which still produced flickers. I'll try to put it in mid range and see what happens. What do you have your FSX/P3D settings at G-PMEM?

I've switched from my DK2 to the Vive yesterday and i'm really disappointed. I'm using P3D with OrbX, Active Sky NExt, Rex Textures and VFR Germany with 35-50fps on my DK2 and the Instrument view (Chessna) was not good but readable.
With the vive it's more worse than with the DK2. Besides the flickering issues the fps is dropping down to 20-25 and the instruments are not readable anymore... After some setting changes (from this post and drastically lower the graphic setting in P3D and lower the resolution in FI) the flickerings are gone, the ftp are raised but the cockpit drawing is .... not really good.

I know that the vive has a better resolution as the dk2 and that will result in fps drop and i know that the vive hasn't timewarp and needs more fps (90) but i want not expecting that.

Please tell me that is because the FI Vive status is already alpha and it will be better in future or I'm toooo stupid to set up everything right....

Hello,

I dont understand how you can have 90 fps with this settings. i tried that and the max i can have is 50-55/90 fps
My specs are:
gtx 980
i5 4690 3.5 ghz
windows 8.1

I tried it all. i put all the settings to the lowest, and all i can have is 65. The highest settings give me 45-50 fps.
So, how can you have 90FPS ?
Any advices from your part would be appreciated. thanks !

Probably the biggest difference to performance is he is on windows 10 with dx11 and 12 support and you're still windows 8 ???

Yes because i never have the need to change. My games ran always very smoothly on windows 8, until i have the Vive . So im going to get windows 10.

So i installed Windows 10 and that changed nothing. I am still around 50 fps with medium high settings.
What can i do to have a better fps ? I tried everything with the settings and it does not change anything.

Specs: gtx 980 - i5 4690 3.5 ghz - win 10

Thanks

I was getting 90/90 with version 1.50. With the latest version 1.52 I get about 63/90. Bit of a shame but it's all still work in progress I guess.
