Frame Rate Loss

[Guest brand_da_man]

Hi,After a complete re-install of the PMDG 737,747 and 744F and am now only getting a continues maximum of 1 FPS in the PMDG 747 as opposed to the 20-25 FPS i was getting pre the re-install.Could anyone please help me?Thanks,Brandon

Brandon-I'm at a loss to even guess what you might be seing here. It may be worth uninstalling the airplane, then reinstalling.Nothing about what you describe should cause a drop to 1fps- so I'm going to wager that you are really going to be looking for a different cause.Any new addon's installed recently? Scenery? New graphics drivers? New anti-virus?Something is causing that bog-down, but nothing about the airplane should do this of it's own accord....Sorry I cannot be much more help.

Robert,Its almost as if the simulator automatically locks itself to 1FPS when i load the PMDG 744 when it is still locked at 25FPS. I think i might follow your advice on re-installing the aircraft as i havnt made any changes to my computer software or hardware.Will let you know what happens.Brandon

Hi Brandon,Did you manage to fix it? I'm facing exactly the same problem! I did not fly the 744 for few weeks, I think I ran the v1.1 update in the meantime (not too sure). I was flying regularely the LD767, without any trouble. When changing type of acft today to 744, the 2D cockpit view was fluctuating between 1 and 3 fps!!! When activating the outside view, fps came back to normal (around 25fps)...Any idea?Thank you in advance.Jean-Marc //

Hi Jean-Marc,Yes, i managed ti fix it, it actually nothing to do with the PMDG 744, it was a recording device that did it however it only affected the PMDG 744 for some reason.Brandon

What do you mean recording device? FS related?Please elaborate thanks...Alex

Hummm...I did not install anything like that...Still wonder what's going on. If I can't find the solution, I'll try to desinstall/reinstall.Jean-Marc

Hi all,Can anybody help me?Since few weeks, I did not fly the PMDG. I just tried again, and the fps is locked between 1 and 3, on the 2D panel, with the 747 and 737 series... It do not feel comfortable to uninstall/reinstall, it's a lot of work and I'm scared to do something wrong.When I change views in the cockpit (Overhead for example), the FPS comes back to normal...Others "non pmdg" aircraft work fine. Can anybody give me an idea?Thank you for your help.Jean-Marc //

Actually, this problem (though not nearly this severe) I have noticed as well. When I flip into the 2D view my framerate drops.Naturally I can fix this by lowering the LCD update rate... but I enjoy having 'smooth' displays too much. (But oh what I would do to get sub-pixel rendering like Reality-XP)

[Guest jmarcv]

Unfortunately, it does not change if I try to change the LCD update rate...In fact, when I choose a pmdg acft, the panel shows up, the fps is ok (around 30), until the lcd/crt switch on (few seconds). Then the FS9 fps is dropping down to 1 fps, and stays locks at this value...Please heeeeelp !!!Thank you in advance!Jean-Marc //
