Prepar3D V5.3 Best Settings | Simple Guide for High Performance + Realistic Graphics 

Great video in covering the settings. I've played around with settings for XP11, MSFS, and P3Dv5 and the major performance/appearance settings that has made all of them run and look better is using NVIDIA settings to set the card to run the specific application at 16x Anisotropic filtering and disable it in the actual SIM settings. Then, set power to max performance for those specific SIMs (and any games for that matter). For whatever reason It gave +20% better frames, very smooth camera movement in the cockpit, and of course the visuals are much improved.

I've been flying over in MSFS2020 since its release. Thought I'd return to P3D and do a clean install with v5.3 HF3. Since I was away for so long, I had lost track of graphic settings. Your video quickly tuned my system for a maximum visual experience while producing nearly 60FPS. Well done, and thanks! You have a new subscriber!

Thanks dude, I just got new computer and I am planning to get P3D v5..thanks to you I know what to do. Thanks again

This should be the standard for all "settings" videos - great stuff

Turn "Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias" from "Allow" to "Clamp". It reduces shimmering.

Thank you this worked very well for me. Especially true for LVFR Miami

My System is I7 7700k and GTX 1070 (8GB Vram) and 32GB RAM. It runs superb with your settings. PMDG 777 at KJFK with 35-40 FPS! I´m really surprised! Thank you, regards from germany!

Woahh it works good, thanks!

Thanks for sharing this video ! ✈🧑‍✈️

Thak you for the great video! 😀

Nice guide!

Really, really helpful thank you

where are the Navigation data (directory) for Flight planner, please ? In Prepar3dv4 exists problem with its.

greetings, do you think this can be applied on p3d 5.4? these are settings when flying OFFLINE correct? thanks for your time

This is a great video and helps even for lower spec systems like mine. Completely off topic, have you ever considered a career in radio or as a voice-over artist? Because your voice sure sounds like it!

Thanks for your great video...I am running p3d5.3 with Qw787-9 and not using any Add-Ons for Airports... After I did the upgrade from P3d5.2 --> p3d5.3 I lost all of my runway and taxiway markings. I will try to use your settings as a starting point to hopefully regain the painted marking that I once had on p3d5.2 ... I will let you know how it turns out.

thank you!

😭你能分享卢卡斯·卡瓦托尼（Lucas Cavatoni）预设吗 我搜索了整个网络，但没有找到

can my gtx 1060 6g and cpu i5 9400f do that ?

Great video explaining everything, I have a ryzen 5 3600 with a 3070 ti, do you think these settings would be good?

Great video it helped me out alot but and from 30 i was getting 80 fps. After a while though The 80 fps suddenly droped to 30 again (without changing any settings) do you have any idea of what happened?

thanks for you answer, you can explain, how install and configured reshade in video please ?🙏

With the new PBR Ground textures from LM can i use Orbx Global base ?

Heyy! I jsut watched this video. I have a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X at 4.7ghz and a RTX 3070. So I should be fine. Will test and update later on if these work good. You got a new Sub though :)

Nice settings! only 1 question about Envshade,some people say you get bad peformance to have it on High quality insted of High peformance? have you notice something?

Hey @theflightshow I tried all of your settings and they work great! This is my rig: CPU: Intel Core i7-11700K GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070 SSD: Samsung 980 Pro NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB SSD: Kingston SNV2S1000G 1TB RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK64GX4M2E3200C16 2x31.5GB MBD: Gigabyte GA-Z590 AORUS ELITE AX I run DCS in a 3x4k monitor setup.

Hello if you use active sky on the volumetric shall they be turned off as menu?

nice video, question, reshade and envshade works together?

Where do I put the Lucas reshade preset file? The .ini thanks!

My p3d 5.3 crashes instantly after installing envshade... What could be the reason? (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG) And I have rx 6800 so vram shouln't be the problem.

Question(s): Nice video, 1.You said nothing about the V sync setting within P3D. I run P3dv5.3HF1, similar computer to yours, I9-9900KF overclocked to 4.1, 64GB RAM 3200, but a stock 1080 Zotac with 8GB VRAM, which clocks at a steady 2011MHz. My monitor is a Samsung 55" TV, curved and I run it at 60Hz refresh rate, but it is not V sync compatible. I see your V sync was set to "on". Just wondering about V sync? 2.I see your Nvidia settings, other than Power Mgt are pretty stock; I often hear / read on settings and some people like P3D to actually to manage the anti aliasing, texture resolution, etc. and not through the Nvidia settings. What are your thoughts? 3.I forgot to ask: ever since I installed P3Dv5.3hf1, my mouse inside the P3D settings windows stutters like crazy. I can hardly use the mouse. This may not be P3D related, I run Windows 10 Pro and my drivers, etc. are updated, including Nvidia drivers. It's crazy, I NEVER had this issue whatsoever. All of a sudden last night, it stopped on its own, then after a while it started again. I thought I was rid of it, but these menu mouse stutters are horrible. I have tried and checked everything. Anyone else having this issue? My previous versions of P3D all the way back to version 3 never had this issue. Maybe it could be Windows related? IDK, but for now I can't figure it out!!! Inside the cockpit and elsewhere it is fine, its just when I open P3D menus.........

Hey! Do you use the academic version? Thanks

Hey there, would you mind sharing your Envshade settings? Regards.

hi, could u do a tutorial with how to install 5.3hf2 and all the scenery aircraft addons install! i fly msfs2020 and xp11 currently!but i really want to fly boeing and PMDG is the best as i heard

Hi, do you have hyperthreading on or off?

Hello mate do you p3d v5.1 could work on Intel rcore tm i5 1035g4?

Where did you find a Envshade patch for v5.3?

Great video! How many Frame rate can P3DV5.3 run on your computer with this setting?

What gpu model do you use?

You have a good voice you should do radio
