I have done no tweaks at all though, because everyone says that tweaks are not required any more for V3 of P3D! It just worked fine "straight out of the box", with no "tweaking" necessary! I am at the experimental stage of P3D, trying it out! I had to buy V6 of MyTraffic, because the 2013 version was not compatible with P3D. I have actually only just installed P3D, so I am not a "seasoned" user of P3D. Indeed, it is strange that you have massive performance problems with P3D! From all the posts I have read about P3D, nearly everyone has noticed a performance increase with P3D over FSX! In my particular case I get an extra 10fps with P3D, and I use less VAS also with P3D! It is not only the extra fps though! I notice also that the graphics in P3D are a LOT smoother! The spot view in FSX always had micro stutters (and no amount of tweaks ever really had any effect), but in P3D it is silky smooth! VAS usage also drops from 2,600 in FSX, to 2,200 in P3D.
HOW TO INSTALL FSX ON WIN 10 WINDOWS
With all the exact settings in both FSX and P3D, with the same windows open and same traffic, I get 18fps in FSX and 30fps in P3D. So I installed the QW 757 into FSX to do a proper comparison. I suddenly realised that I am running the PMDG777 in FSX, but running the QW757 in P3D (way too expensive to pay again for the P3D version of the PMDG777 (what a rip off eh!)). I have done an uninstall of the 2013 version, but something seems to be preventing the traffic builder from initiating? So? I obviously have a very messed up configuration screen and setup! I have set the correct paths for both FSX and P3D, which does show in the configurator screen, which I find unusual! The old MyTraffic 2103 did not have the option for P3D! I keep on coming back to the same conclusion as to why the traffic builder does not initiate? I am guessing that there is some hidden registry entries from my previous MyTraffic 2013 install, which is pulling up a mixed up configurator screen? The 1st thing that I have noticed is that I do not seem to be getting the correct opening screen (I get what appears to be the old MyTraffic 2013 screen), and the traffic builder does not execute! I have previously used MyTraffic 2013, and that worked fine in FSX, but I have just upgraded to P3D and I have just bought the V6, which does not work at all in either FSX or P3D!

I have looked over all the posts and tried to follow all the guides, but something is obviously seriously wrong in my install process!
