Hi Folks,Whenever I fly the Beech 1900 I get great framerates except when in the spot view with the nav lights on. As you can see in the pictures with nav lights off I get 30 FPS and with the nav lights on it drop to 16, almost half of my frame rate is slashed, that's quite a major drop. Help PMDG guys!Nav Lights off - 30.6 FPShttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/67079.jpgNav Lights on - 16.6 FPShttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/67080.jpgThank you for your help,Nick

I should have mentionned my computer specs, they are P4 2.4 Ghz, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 @ 128 mb, 1G of RAM. I tried the nav lights on the 737NG and it doesn't have any impact on my FPS.Nick

Captains,The PMDG Express B1900D Nav lights are no different than other airplanes that fly MS Flight Sim.Suggestions:Make sure Transform and Lighting is set to on in Settings>Display>HardwareMake sure hardware rendered lights is set to 8 in Settings>Display>HardwareVinPMDGwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

I agree it is not different than other a/c. Thaey all seem to give about a 25% hit in frame rates. Sounds like a project for a good coder to me.JohnBAW317 >Captains,>>The PMDG Express B1900D Nav lights are no different than other>airplanes that fly MS Flight Sim.>>Suggestions:>>Make sure Transform and Lighting is set to on in>Settings>Display>Hardware>>Make sure hardware rendered lights is set to 8 in>Settings>Display>Hardware>>>Vin>PMDG>www.precisionmanuals.com>http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

Well my rendered lights setting was at 6 and moving it at 8 made no difference. My Transform and lightning was already on.I have no FPS drop in any other aircraft, I tried in the default Cessna, Captain Sim 727, Real Air SF.260, Flightcraft A330.Hope you can help me Vin,Thank you,Nick

For me...every single plane I use...NAV lights hit on frames!I just choose to fly with strobes and beacons only!

Captains.An unusual problem indeed. The B1900 does use 4 nav lights (2 on each wing very close together). Perhaps there is a conflict with having nav lights so close (Stranger things have happened in MSFS). We'll take a look under the hood and see if we can't work out a tweak.VinPMDGwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

Thank you Vin, that's why I love PMDG, ther's always someone on the other end of the screen waiting to help you.Nick
