and as for the memory yes 12GB on board and 8GB for the graphic card.
@ vk3fadi,

You selected GPU for the Performance screenshot.

Could you load the P3D default flight and do a performance screenshot of the CPU data?

Note: your screenshot shows 8GB of memory.

@ vk3fadi,

Start P3Dv5

Opening scenario screen
scroll down the aircraft list and find
Maule Ski
To see a preview, and do a screenshot of what you see
Left mouse click once on the Maule Ski to see if there is a preview and do a screenshot of what is there.

@ vk3fadi ,

Go back and look at your first screenshot.

Where you can make a selection, date, time, weather, "Change Vehicle" , etc.

That is not what I asked for.

I asked you to:
Go back and look at your first screenshot.
That is what I wanted to see.

If you had done this you would be on the correct selection to do a screenshot:
Left mouse click once on the Maule Ski to see if there is a preview and do a screenshot of what is there.

@ vk3fadi,

I am still checking.

So far I think your system will display a preview when selecting:
LOAD
then from the CAGEGORY list
all the Emergency and Tutorial scenarios (JPGs).

@ vk3fadi ,

You previously mentioned:
"As for default yes it is a default install no addons no change to nothing like a out of box install and run."

I assume you still have the default install without Add-ons, correct?

So, good plan to run through all the Debugging Steps here:

well i uninstalled as per instructions and made sure there was nothing left any where and then reinstalled but no luck still does the same thing but what l did notice was if l change scenario mid flight to something else and go to select a plane as you can see on the screen dump it shows up not clear but on both previews l see the plane so it makes me thing it;s a graphic card issues some where or a file is not loading up some how as it's there but showing screwed up. maybe there might be a fix in 5.1

@ vk3fadi ,

Your screenshot of the Maule selection.

Is it animated (moving around) in the view?

Can you hold down the left mouse button / pointer on the Maule image [red box and arrow in my screenshot, an edit of your screenshot] and move the mouse around which will normally move Maule around in the view?
