Vaughan, because of your statement that on your system everything works well e.g. no FPS-issue at KBOS 33L, I looked into my scenery.cfg and finally found the root cause for my problems. It is a small tool which improves the lights (p.e. traffic lights) and it seems that at the moment this one is no...

Hi Vaughan,

I think I found the issue which was related to my manually edited scenery.cfg. I newly built it up and it seems that this solves the problem. I will investigate furthger and also make some more tests tomorrow. Will report back.

Rolf

Hi Vaughan, thanks for the quick response. For my test I used Aerosoft's A330 and now a standard P3D v5-plane. But with the same result like previously mentioned only the FPS are a little bit higher. In the meantime I also newly installed the standard scenery P3Dv5.3HF1 again and deleted prior all O...

After updating to v5.3 HF1+ (new installation) I experience a problem approaching KBOS 33L. My normal FPS (being already on the glide slope) are around 30. But just before hitting the runway e.g. when overflying the PAPI my FPS suddenly drop below 10 FPS and are between 10 and 5 before touchdown. Th...

Hi everybody,

after updating to 5.3 HF1 the FPS-drops issue in connection with road traffic seems to be solved. Thanks.

Regards,
Rolf

Con confirm this but set the Volumetric Clouds slider in the P3D options to "0".

Hi Rob, I tested this behaviour on various locations allways before takeoff and already sitting on the runway (with and without ORBX VECTOR): On an big addon airport like EGLL and ORBX Region England On a standard P3D airport like KSFO with no ORBX Region installed If I move the Traffic / Road Vehic...

Jorgen, thanks for your tests which confirm my findings that the Road Vehicles setting (freeways only) other than "0%" in P3D v5.3 is a real FPS-killer! This is independant from your hardware because I have a high-end PC with an NVIDIA 3090 graphic card and still experience this behaviour ...

I just forgot to add that there is no difference in the behaviour if I uninstall ORBX VECTOR and use the P3D v5.3 "traffic".

Hello, for my tests I used the Aerosoft Airbus A320, SimWings EDDH as well as ORBX EU Germany North. Also I have ORBX BASE and VECTOR installed. When I set TRAFFIC Road Vehicles (Freeways only) to 0 % I get 36 FPS before takeoff. Setting it to 5% the FPS drops to 30, using 10% to 29 FPS and to 20% t...

After updating / newly installing P3D v5.3 I recognized an FPS drop compared to the previous version when applying the same settings - I am talking about Freeway Traffic only. "Road Traffic" seems to be now an FPS-killer in the new version. If I use a value of 20% p.e. with ORBX GEN at an ...

I would like to summerize the findings and the conclusions on the subject "FPS drops during takeoff". This only happens if not the P3D standard settings are used. If "enhanced / modified" settings are used and take off is planned from a "large" add-on airport like EDDF,...

Hi Jorgen,

you are right and I forgot to mention it, that "Road traffic" is the other FPS-killer. In the standard P3D-configuration it is set to "0" but if you start to move the slider you will also recognize the mentioned effect during takeoff.

Regards,
Rolf

Hi Jorgen and Vaughn, Thanks for all the input. Of course I know all the documents mentioned and even more like the one from RD on P3D v5. But nowhere the effect I described is explained. So I talked to some experts (add-on developers) and they confirmed my findings. If you use the P3D standard sett...

Thanks for the screenshots which prove that in some ways you have the same effect on your system e. g. the FPS are dropping during acceleration by more than 10 FPS. This is no problem if I start from 40 or more (like on your or mine screenshots) but if you start from around 30 FPS like I do on a big...
