Lucas,

Are you running the HF2 version of P3D v. 5?

Is your Windows 10 up to version 2004?

Are your nVidia drivers up to the latest level, v. 451.48?

Hi,
My Windows Is Not Ready For The 2004 Install According To Windows At The Moment
I Updated My GPU Game Ready Nividia Drivers The Other Day
Do I Need To Install Hotfix 2, I Installed P3D v5 yesterday, Or is it al ready installed,
Kind regards Lucas

[JorgenSA]

If you installed v. 5 yeaterday, then it should be the HF2 version.

Can you get the exact version number?

If you google something like

windows 10 2004 upgrade

you should be able to download a small installer that will let you upgrade to 2004.

The reason this is important is that this version contains upgrades to DX12 that provides better VRAM management.

Hello Again,
In My Windows Setting Under Windows Updates It Mentions The Following, "Feature Update To Windows 10 Version 2004, The Windows 10 May 2020 Update Is On Its Way, You'll See The Update When It Is Ready for Your Device, You'll See the update available on this page."
My P3D Version Number Is: 5.0.31.35253
Kind Regards Lucas

Your P3D version is the HF2 version, so you are good there.

Whether you want to wait for the official roll-out of v. 2004 for your system, or you want to do it now is of course your choice.

Maybe it was easier for me because I have the US-English version of Windows 10 Home.

Is It Stable To Update To 2004 Currently Got It Ready To Install

[speedbird__01]

I Updated to 2004 i get better performance but slowly my vram usage just got higher using the fslabs and it crashed again saying i run out of memory

[JorgenSA]

"using the fslabs"

What happens if you do not use that aircraft, but instead one of the default aircraft in the same flight?

If I Use The PMDG 747-400 At Aerosoft Heathrow With True Earth Great Britain I Sit Around 5.6GB Out 8GB Of Vram When At Orbx Leeds Bradford In The FSLabs A320 New Update I Am Using 7GB-7.4 GB Of Vram out of 8gb of Vram. I Am Wondering If This Is To Do With Some Airport Scenery Or The FSlabs Being So System Heavy,
Ind Regards,
Lucas

I Have Dun Some Testing Between Aircraft and Scenery And I Have Worked Out Certain Orbx Scenery Is causing the high vram usage. I Am Once again in the fslabs, aerosoft heathrow true earth south and i am using 5.0 gb of vram out of 8 gb of vram and is stable and not lagging

Hi, how do you messure your Vram, with what prog??
See my spec's. i have just 6gb of Vram and use alot of Orbx and PMDG 747 and ASP3d with ASCAR ect...
is it possible, that u think, u have a super computer and run "ALL SLIDERS TO THE RIGHT" with P3D v5?

[speedbird__01]

Hello,
I Am Using The New Windows 2004 Updated Task Manager To Measure My VRAM Usage.
My PC Specs Are:
MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard
32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RBG RAM
500GB M.2 NVME SSD, 1TB Samsung EVO SSD, 1TB Seagate HDD
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
I Am Using Orbx Recommended True Earth Settings For My P3D Settings

[CaseyRyback53]

hi, well, i read you spec's in your first post and i'm glad you could install windows v2004. compared to my spec's you have a gpu with 2 gb more than i have. so my suggestion is: try in your graphic settings to take every slider one notch back and see what happend.

PMDG B747-8i at EGPH ORBX and AS P3D/ASCAR





hope it helps....
