Re: Prepare3dV5 an REX4 Texture Direct

As far as I could tell, REX 4 Texture Direct is not at all compatible with v5. However, it is compatible with v4. The only REX add-on truly compatible with v5 is Sky Force.

Re: Shift-Z working, but freezes

I wish we could just go back to the old red text, no issues with them whatsoever.... WHY change it?, I had a terrible experience when on approach the other day, the new white info just froze and i experienced awful stutters .... Every time i switch to view the info, i get pauses and stutters like m...

Re: KLGA Rwy4

With Drzewiecki Design's NYC Airports I do see an an overly tall building right before Runway 4. It can be eliminated if you set Autogen Building to sparse. That or use the default P3D scenery. It doesn't look like the real building but at least it is shorter. If the DD building was changed or remov...

Re: toe braking freezes screen in V5.2

In Settings, uncheck the Information Text for braking. It is a temporary workaround until the hotfix comes to hopefully fix all the freezing and pausing issues caused by the corner information texts.

Re: 5.2 freezes on view change & ATC not working

I've disabled all the info text and still the ATC issue continues. What third party ATC do you use? PF3 by Oncourse Software. I only use it because the default FSX ATC keeps having me change frequencies every minute at some areas. I have to check if it is still an issue with PF3's ATC. Hang in ther...

Re: 5.2 freezes on view change & ATC not working

I disabled all information text and it seems to have stopped the freezes when changing views. However, the ATC window is still not working. It opens but I can't select any of the options by either clicking on pressing numbers along the top of the keyboard. Yes BWBriscoe, anything that causes text t...

Re: 5.2 freezes on view change & ATC not working

Are the issues I'm experiencing similar to what other users have seen and what LM are working on? Yes, it seems to be a v5.2 issue involving HTML 5 text. Anything that could cause non-AI-aircraft text to appear on the sim could cause freezing and/or a temporary black screen. For example, yesterday ...

Re: CPU Usage up, GPU usage down results in worse performance.

TextRich, the i5 is the reason you're stuck at 100%. P3D really benefits from an i7 or faster. Try adjusting your settings if you want to keep cpu0 below 100%. I found that when it was hit there would be a drop in performance albeit briefly. 100% on either the CPU or GPU means the hardware cannot d...

Re: CPU Usage up, GPU usage down results in worse performance.

@TextRich, with respect this is a topic about a problem running v5.2 and the impact of Ai Traffic. If you need help about setting the AM please raise a separate topic. I wasn't asking for assistance in my last post. These were rhetorical questions in an attempt to understand v5.2's performance toge...

Re: CPU Usage up, GPU usage down results in worse performance.

@TextRich. That’s too much info to absorb, sorry. Your i5 will not be as powerful as an i7 but the principal remains the same. With HT on use virtual processors 0,2,4,6,8 and 10. That’s 010101010101 in binary which equates to 1365 in decimal. Enter that value in AM in P3D.cfg and that’s as good as ...

Re: CPU Usage up, GPU usage down results in worse performance.

Opinions vary on whether HT is best on or off. My professionally build CHILLBLAST has it on and performance on P3D v4 and v5.1 was always fine for me. All the logical cores on your CPU will be used. Limiting it to only one per physical core should help performance. Your CPU has 6 cores like mine so...

Re: CPU Usage up, GPU usage down results in worse performance.

@TextRich, what do you have set for your Affinity Mask? How the CPU handles P3D is very dependent on that setting. Check if you have a [JobScheduler] section in prepar3d.cfg. I don't have a JobScheduler. I can try using the Expert Mode of this calculator: https://www.gfsg.co.uk/affinitymask.aspx?Su...

Re: CPU Usage up, GPU usage down results in worse performance.

Final test was zero scenery objects and no Ai at all, not even default. The result was a return to 5.1 performance. 100% core 0 hit only every 20-30 secs. 30fps maintained throughout. Fluidity!! So it looks to me as though Ai is the culprit - even the default stuff. If anyone would like to try two ...

Is it still possible to create a background. I liked a white font on a blue background. It was easily readable in all lighting conditions day and night. See Druce's post above. color: white; font-size: 16px; You can add to the code I'm quoting above background-color:blue;. It doesn't matter where a...

Re: Shift-Z working, but freezes

So far I realized as long as I don't turn on SHIFT+Z menu (with FPSes and/or location data etc) those problems with "freezing" and FPS hit don't appear. I tried that and only got a few less freezes. In addition, I become more susceptible to getting full black screens with a minute's wait....
