Ok have found my issue or the issue Scenery distance I always have set to high as this means if i am landing on rw 5 at glasgow, edinburgh does not pop in and cause a long frame (uk2000 airports). In 4.4, High meant I would get a long pause when edin/gla got to 25 mark. When I landed today at glasgo...

Something i noticed with 4.5 vs 4.4 The loooooong frames used to occur 25 miles out from a large airport (ie uk2000) with my distance settings On a flight ive done a few times I noticed I get the long frame 40 miles out ... is 4.5 loading an extra 15 miles of stuff in with the same visual settings ....

me too ; i initially thought the long frames had gone until i loaded up the new fslabs a320 today. Same stack / setup as 4.4 and i'm seeing FPS drop of 10 from 30 down to 18-20. tried with 4.4 cfg file and letting it re-gen, yes shaders etc cleared out. I will do some more testing ive only had 1 fli...

+150 !
thanks for taking the time to suggest some possible easy wins. I hope we see something in 4.5 but it may be 5 for a new engine more, fit for purpose would be unfair, maybe, more aligned to the high res scenery and complex aircraft we use these days.

here here. I posted something 18 months ago asking for this also but i think they have had other priorities. I think the AI code dates back to the 1980's. Some simple things could be done to stop collisions, improve flow and for them to get a bit of a move on when they land. Also crossing active run...

did you see this ..... https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopi ... 2&t=129041

Ok, ive been able to mostly resolve this. Certain tweaks cause an imbalance of how much time is allocated to ground textures, buildings, AA etc etc etc etc. The worst one I have have found is our friend, the more frames tweak, fiber frame time. I have spent decades fiddling with this with PMDG to at...

If it worked in the past then something changed on your system ... maybe like a Windows update e.g. indeed i agree something has changed . I've just been through this turns out I've had a faulting GPU for years. You also could use a free stability tool that stresses and measures each part of your s...

Rob mentioned 320000 in his video. I mean, you forgot a zero. MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=320000.000000 Mike thanks and - Yes, I had reduced that to 32kms as 320km had been like pointing a flamethrower at my 5930k. It's actually much worse, it seemed like textures were just jumping up in front of ...

Happy new year all, i'm having a problem getting the black vanishing textures tweak to work. Thanks to Rob for this box of goodies : https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/545920-p3d-v44-and-settings-and-video-samples-from-beta/ I have these set in my .cfg [GRAPHICS] ENABLE_MEMORY_OPTIMIZATION=0 MAX_TEX...

Yes, I get this, worst with UK2000 airports . The issue seems to have been around since 4.2 as far as I can remember and there has been many a thread on this forum about pauses or very long frames ..... ive tried everything, it seems to be certain areas that are worse. In central Scotland I have Gla...

Evenin folks - 2 questions if anyone can help me plz 1) is there any way to bring up a debug console in-sim when running to check on a config variable (FFT etc) 2) When you use a custom config set, it creates a mini .cfg file in documents/p3dv4/.... does this add to what boots up from the standard a...

ive been good on 16 since 4.x came out
if you have your texture flushing turned down, as i do, to reduce long frames, it still sits around 90% of total mem and doesnt show any sign of swapping

if you are using ActiveSky there is an issue if you set your max cloud draw too far this can happen
Go into options/cloud options on the activesky control panel and ensure the max draw distance is 150m or less
and that min draw distance is 80m
