SCEL massive fps drops (solved)

[Leiz]

Hello,

i have big problems with performance at SCEL. Yesterday i took a "short" trip from SCEL to KMIA with the PMDG 777-200 and at SCEL i get 24FPS at the Gate and on Taxiway 14! and while entering RW 17L at A I get 5-10FPS. Taxiing was where difficult becaus of that massiv fps drops und take of was like a Slideshow. A few seconds after takeoff i get 30-40 fps. In KMIA with lots of AI Traffic i get 24-28 FPS very smooth and no problem for me. After landing i start some investigation. I'm using P3D 4.4 but i testet with 4.5 Hotfix 1 and there is the same Problem. I change my Settings to default but also with these low graphics i get very low fps also with the standard aircraft F-22. I disabled AI Traffic and set weather to clear sky but the problem remains. I testet also with KBWI and there i get about 50FPS with F-22.

My specs: i8700K at 4,8Ghz, Geforce 1080, 16GB RAM.

Now i don't know what i can do. SCEL looks very nice and i like it a lot but with this problem i can't use it.

Thankful for any help
Hans

hi, are you trying this with or without PBR materials? in the scenery configurator tool you can see.

SCEL for most of us thankfully performance wise is great, so this is quite odd.

Hi Ricardo,

thank you for the quick answere. I tried both. I will try to deaktivate all other Addon-Airports and check it again.
Any other suggestion?

Hi, did you try disabling any of the scenery elements "static aircraft' and such?

[Leiz]

Yes, i disabled everything. The FPS are better but not as much as i need. On the top right corner you could see the FPS. I think 50 with the F-22 are ok for FSLabs/PMDG etc.

This is with everything off and NoPBR and no AI Traffic --> 36FPS on RW 17L


And this is the same Sim-Session at KMSY

Hi, if you face the opposite direction in SCEL will the frames jump up?

because whilst we worked on it, when we faced towards the city sometimes the FPS will go down, but that's all default.

You don't have any other scenery for the region?

so i deaktivated all Add-Ons and now it seems to be ok. Now i had to find the addon causing this....
I'm afraid that will be difficult. But befor i start this investigation i had to check out my new Destinations i bought today at you shop. All the ones I have bought from you so far are really great!

Thank you for the good work and the support!

Hi thanks for your comments!

Quite odd, which addons did you de-activate?

[Leiz]

Hi,

i find the bad guy . It was a night light addon called slim lights. It a freeware but a very godd one! I'll take a closer look at it later until then i let it be deaktivated and I am finally happy to fly from and to Santiago. A realy nice Airport!

Regards Hans
