FPS drop

[r2b2nz]

Hi

I realise that there might not be anything that can be done but just wanted to raise that, on my system, I get a fairly significant drop in FPS with the iniScene NZQN scenery in certain spots. Looking towards the terminal seems to cause about a 6-10 FPS drop but if I move out to a slightly different spot it goes back up to a more normal figure for me.

I've attached a couple of views that exhibit the change in FPS for reference.

As I've said, not sure if anything can or should be done (my system isn't the most powerful) but thought I'd raise it in case any further optimisations could be looked into.

Having said all that, the scenery looks great so nice work!

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having FPS troubles.

This scenery has been quite heavily optimized with the latest methods and practices in MSFS, so we'd like to get to the bottom of why this is happening.

Could you please post your computer's specifications and screenshots of your settings? It might also be worthwhile to attempt to load into the airport with no other third-party add-ons present in your Community folder just for testing purposes.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply and for taking an interest in checking out if there might be a reason behind it.

I've got a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU with 32Gb RAM and a GTX 1050 Ti (4GB VRAM). Native resolution is 2560x1440 and I've attached a copy of the graphics settings from MSFS. Let me know if you need to know any other settings or info.

Haven't popped into the sim without any other add-ons yet but will do that and let you know if there is any change in behaviour.

Took out all the community content that was easily removable and didn't see any change. I've attached a list of mods that were still enabled in case it helps.

One thing I wondered about is whether its the animated people that might be causing the issue. However as I drone around there are spots where the animation is visible with a reasonable FPS. I've just been doing a bit of droning around checking out FPS around the airport and it seems to vary anything from 15 up to 30. Viewing the airside side of the terminal building seems to bring the biggest drop even if viewed from above the roof looking towards the gate parking areas although really there is no common thread I can find to point at what types of material etc. might be the biggest pain-points...

And just to confirm, you don't experience this with any other potentially heavier scenery add-ons?

Cheers.

I don't have a lot of other major scenery add-ons but Fly Tampa YSSY seems ok and the freeware Gatwick scenery from Flightsim.to that is known to cause issues doesn't cause too much of an issue FPS wise for me (lowers the FPS slightly but not to same degree).

Okay,

if you're looking to troubleshoot with us, open up the developer FPS overlay in the worst performing area and post some screenshots of it please.

This will indicate what's reaching its limits and potentially causing the FPS drop if its a hardware related issue.

Cheers.

Hi All,

 

I had the same issue, and believe it or not, uninstall the ORBX NZ Mesh and see what happens.  🙂

I was also having huge FPS drops down to the point when on finals i had to quit the game. after a long time I uninstalled NZ Mesh and all was well.

Reinstalled Mesh, same issue... I've reported it to ORBX but it seems to be a first for them, so the more reports the better.
