I read so many nice comments about upgrading to Win 10 Pro v2004 and it's effect on P3D v4.5 that I did the upgrade. I am so disappointed and absolutely frustrated. When I loaded up P3Dv4.5 to test So far not so good. My FPS dropped down to 4.2 . I haven't been able to get them back up. It is impossible to fly at 4 FPS. My computer is not a slouch, check my signature. So I reverted back to v1909. The frame rates are still at 4.X. So then I tried reinstalling P3D v4.5. That didn't do any good either. Anyone else having this problem? I have reduced my graphics settings to default and even lower. This made no difference. At this point I don't know if this is a Windows problem or a P3D v4.5 problem. I also have FSX Steam Editions so while I had v2004 loaded I tried it and it was working as it should, frame rates normal. After I went back to v1909 I tried FSX again, still good. I desperately need some advice on how to resolve this problem. P3D v4.5 was working great before I did the Windows upgrade. I have also checked my GPU drivers and they are up to date.

I did the upgrade to v2004 this afternoon and just loaded up P3Dv4.5 So far not so good. My FPS dropped down to 4.2 . I haven't been able to get them back up. It is impossible to fly at 4 FPS. My computer is not a slouch, check my signature. Anyone else having this problem?

I am also having this problem of blurries that just started a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I have done to P3Dv4.5, Orbx or my settings is re-install P3Dv4.5. I believe the re-installation included a new Hot Fix. This may be causing my problem but I don't know what to do about it. I just ordered a new 2060 Super GPS graphics card. It will be coming in this week. I am hoping that will solve my problem.

I have the same problem and it just started for me a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I can think of that I have done to P3D, Orbx or settings is re-install P3D v4.5. I believe that install included a Hot Fix and there might have been something in that causing the problem. Hopefully some one will respond to this topic.

Thanks, I'll monitor it there.

I have been flying around the Denver/Colorado Springs area lately and I am seeing a lot of palm trees. It doesn't seem like there should be Palms in Colorado at 6,000 ft. Is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks for the reply and advise. I did as you suggested and it solved the black water problem. I went on two different flights of about an hour each in places where there are rivers and I had experienced this problem and it was all good. Fly on.

Lately I am getting a lot of black patches in rivers and lakes. As I get closer to them some of them change to actual water. This is a relatively new issue, I have tried detuning my graphics settings with no improvement. Anyone have any suggestions on this?

Thanks for your reply. I would like to keep FSX-SE along with P3D mainly because I have a lot of aircraft that I would have to repurchase as P3D versions and that is something that I would have to do over time. So when I open up FTX Central I get a choice of FSX-SE or P3D v4. If I click on FSX-SE all of my ORBX stuff is there as always, but it I click on P3D v4 everything is gone. So how do I get the P3D FTX Central loaded with my ORBX stuff?

I am in the process of getting P3D v4 setup on my computer with FSX-SE and P3D on two separate SSDs. I want to be able to continue using FSX-SE until I get P3D completely setup and I get use to it. Can I keep my ORBX scenery on the FSX-SE drive and also have it on the P3D drive. Or will I have to remove it all from FSX-SE to be able to put it on P3D?

I understand but why is my problem only with EU Germany South?

I just purchased EU Germany South and EU England. I also have OpenLC Europe, Global Base Pack and Global Vector. Here is the problem, within 10 minutes of starting a flight in Germany South my computer runs out of memory. Reducing my display settings significantly still does no good. I also have Open LC North America, Central Rockies, Northern Rockies, Pacific Fjords, Pacific Northwest, Southern Alaska and Jackson Hole Airport. I can fly in these regions all day with my display settings at ultra High with no memory problems. There must be something about EU Germany South that is not right. Is anyone else having a memory problem with Germany South? Has ORBX looked into this? This is my Flight Sim System and I am flying FSX-SE. I realize that FSX is 32bit and does not use all of my 16GB of memory. i7 8700K CPU @ 4.4 GHz, 16 GB DDR4 3000 memory, Gigabyte Aorus Z370 MB, Asus GTX 960 OC GPU 4GB GDDR5 Memory, MasterAir MA610P CPU cooler, 500GB SSD, 2T HDD, 3 Asus 24" monitors, Saitek X56 Rhino H.O.T.A.S.

Thanks for the replies. Looking at the products page it looks like everything I have will also run on the P3D simulators through P3DV4. I would assume that once I get P3DV4 up and running I would have to shut down FSX-SE in order to install these ORBX products on P3DV4, correct? I really don't want to switch to P3D but I just recently bought EU Germany South and EU England and these are the ones causing the memory problem. EU Germany South is the worst, EU England I just get OOM occasionally. I do not have memory problems with any of my North America products or any of the Global Range products. Even if running all display settings at Ultra High. I don't know why EU Germany South would be such a memory hog. Even cutting my display options to low doesn't solve the problem. I have seen posts where other people have also been having memory problems with Germany South and North. Maybe ORBX will be looking into this.

I am thinking of switching to Prepar3D v4 from FSX-SE. I have a good bit of ORBX scenery, North America, Europe, Germany, England and several airports. All purchased for either FSX or FSX-SE. Even though my system is up to date and high performance I am beginning to have Out Of Memory problems. My question is this will any of my current ORBX scenery work with Prepar3D or X Plane 10 or 11?

Some of my airports are in depressions or on narrow plateaus. How can I fix this?
