Update with new clouds canceled for today unfortunately. Last second issue and we ran out of time for today. Hopefully tomorrow. I’ll clean up this thread later.

Hello Everybody,

I want to take a few seconds to explain the situation with multi-GPU support (SLI/Crossfire) and our new clouds technology. Unfortunately, as some of you who have SLI or Crossfire setups have learned, our new cloud technology is fundamentally incompatible with multi-GPU machines. And I want to apologize to those that are affected by this because we failed to inform you prior to the 4.701 release. This was an oversight on our part and we sincerely apologize for the surprise. Also, our lead programmer has looked at this issue several times, and he reports that there is no way to make it compatible with the new clouds. In order to remain competitive, we needed to re-vamp our clouds, but an unfortunate side-effect was this issue. We often have to make hard decisions about compatibility and technology and we dislike such choices, but they are part of the business.

As most of you know by now, multi-GPU gaming has always been difficult to achieve and many game developers never even bothered supporting it. We made our best attempt and it never really lived up to the hype. The industry, including the video card makers themselves have essentially abandoned it. Newer video cards are quite powerful negating the need and without many more developers adopting support for multi-GPU support it has been left behind. And now with our new clouds we must sadly do the same.

Starting with the 4.701b Hotfix we will be removing the multi-GPU option in the GUI and it will be removed from the Launcher with our next update later in December. However, we will leave the option available in the startup.cfg file just in case there is some kind of workaround or third-party solution pops up, however, we doubt this will ever occur.

PC games and flight-sims have always been locked in a struggle to produce amazing scenes and fluid performance and we have always strived to give you both. Matter of fact, we are sometimes criticized for not pushing the visual envelope more to the detriment of performance. Multi-GPU users are in the extreme minority these days and we really wish the video card market was not in such a sad shape where supply can’t keep up with demand. That unfortunately is out of our control and we agree that it is irritating.

Again, we apologize for any confusion or disappointment, but we’re out of options with mlti-GPU support.

Hlásim bug pro P-51B. Při otevřené kabině na zemi se nejde vyhnout na pravou stranu, jako by ta kabina byla zavřená. Projevuje se to ve VR.
Na levou stranu se vyhnout dá.
