I've been working hard on an update for the P3D v4 version. P3D v4 eats PCs for breakfast and I'm getting a lot of mail about setting up suitably for that PC. Managing the CPU setup is becoming more important as the corecounts climb. IFPro will now incorporate CPU monitoring and reporting for tailoring the throughput partitions for P3D. Included is a CPU Window and additional traces in the csv log.
In the meantime anyone having trouble setting up might like to check out the way I show how to manage the throughput capacity of the PC by switching VSync on and off to see how the fps is maintained above the refresh rate of the monitor. Then increasing settings until the CPU tops out. The ability to work on this is expanded with IFPro's CPU Window and reporting. More soon.
