PFD/ND displays are "low-res"?

Recommended Posts

I purchased the Airbus X Extended yesterday (upgrade price since I already had Airbus X).

Seem's like a nice product but the first thing I noticed was how "low-res" the displays are compared to what I'm use to with the PMDG 737NG-X and MD11-X.

Am I missing some configuration option or is this just a limitation of the Airbus X Extended (can't remember how the Airbus X looked since its been a couple of years since it was installed)?

Hi Matthew,

The ND should be relatively crisp, and the PFD a bit as well. If you post a screenshot of what you see, then we can tell if anything is not what it should be.

This is how they should look. If they look different on your system you might need to change some settings.

Thanks, yes mine look like that. I was assuming they would be very "crisp" like the PMDG NGX (especially when zooming in). I guess PMDG are rendering their own "high-res" displays and Airbus X is using the default FSX "rendering"?

In any-case, the Airbus is nice and has inexpensive upgrade price. Thanks!

PMDG renders it at higher resolution, but that causes a far higher load on the CPU and GPU, we tried to avoid that as good FPS are essentials for this aircraft.
