Transition from X-Plane 11 to XxPlane 12

[Pagouti]

Hello Frumpy, hello Keith,

Thanks for your hints. The setting for “no bezels” with DA62 in X-Plane 12 is available in the Air Plugin pop-up. It seems to have disappeared from Plane Maker 12. I have scanned all the menu’s and not found a single reference to bezels. Setting “no bezels” in the plugin pop-up does exactly what is needed and produces pop-outs that can easily be put into place and stay there.

I have stored my DA62 aircraft files under E:\X-Plane 12\Aerobask\Diamond DA62 directory. The dataref’s containing “acf” in their name refer exactly to this directory, so no more worry that the “\Aerobask\” directory in this path would not be recognized and cause trouble.

After taking five AI airplanes out of the air, I reach decent performances (slightly above 20 fps) with a huge ultra-wide screen and two additional touch screens for my G1000’s. Taking these out, adds another 10 fps to the performance. Not great but feasible. Nothing compared, however, to the performance of FS2020: 131 fps, after optimization with Geforce Experience, flying in cloudy circumstances, without dashboard with G1000’s, of course.

Kindly Yours,

Han Schouten

Your fps may depend on the settings. My MSFS is at around 60 fps, same with X-Plane 12 and a 3440-resolution. AMD 5900 processor, Geforce 4070 graphics card.
Whats your bottleneck on x-plane, CPU or GPU-times?

First my totally unbalanced and somewhat obsolete hardware situation: CPU Intel Core i7-4790K 4GHz, RAM 16GB, Graphics Geforce RTX 4070 12 GB, Geforce 750 TI 4 GB, Main display Samsung Odyssey G9 49” 5120 x 1440 pixels, two times G1000 touch display 11.2” 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Whatever I try, as soon as I overload my GPU, I overload my CPU and then life is really bad: performance sinks below 20 pfs, X-Plane intervenes and halves my simulation speed and graphical cards run hot. I recently demolished my GTX 980 TI Gaming 6G when I first ran X-Plane 12 on this hardware configuration.

With my new hardware configuration, after a bit of tweaking and optimizing settings, flying straight and level at 10.000 feet results in about 30 fps (CPU 35%, GPU 85%). Descending to 2.500 feet results in 24 fps (more world objects, more clouds). Nasty weather improves performance however. The 750 TI seems to help reduce the load of the 4070: an improvement of 5 fps is a lot, when you are near 20fps.

Looks like this is about it for now. I started X-Plane with the Baron at a semi-complex airport, 55 fps. Then I loaded the DA-62 at a complex airport, with internal 3D cockpit on, 40 fps. With the popouts it went down to about 30.

Hi
Are you running both gpus in the same machine ? - that is NOT a good idea at all.

Hi Joe,

I have experienced that this is a very bad idea, indeed. Functions fell out randomly. Something with “lanes” being limited in numbers, according to the experts. After removing the 750TI, performance is slightly worse, but I have all functions back again. The only solution is probably a new motherboard, CPU-chip and RAM. Saving is spending slowly. I will have to wait a while.

Regards, Han

Hi Han, I would be interested in the hot running faulty 980ti. Drop me a PM, I am in Portugal.
