Thank you, I will look forward to your results. It should perhaps be noted that P3D has never supported SLi. However Beau provided us with the above "hack" some time ago which I have used ever since with good results.

<t><br/> So happy the install no longer copys an entire copy of the install files to c:\ProgramData\Package Cache<br/> no more 10+ GB of useless data copied to the c: Drive<br/> <br/> <br/> I think you may need to install all your ORBX scenery again into V2.5. But FIRST please read this thread. <br/...

Am I still able to use the above to start P3D v2.5 and which would be better, two GTX 780 with "AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe" or one GTX 980 without SLI? Thanks and cheers, Mac

Is this the correct forum to ask if I should should be starting v2.5 with my "AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe" to take advantage of SLI? It has been great up to now.

Thanks, Mac

I am very happy with my SLI. There is a marked performance improvement after installing the "hack" that Beau released.



Cheers,
