Hey guys, I've been having this problem lately, and I think it's because I changed some of the ASV6 settings not too long ago and I'm not sure what it could be. (Can't exactly remember which setting it was. My ignorance) - Anyways, what I've noticed is, at times when externally viewing the aircraft, there are some clouds that cause a lag spike. Below I've included two pictures.Looking at a cloud to the east (Right next to me, though they can be at a distance as well when this occurs)Now looking in another direction, but frames are back up with no problems. These lag spikes will stay there as long as I look at the cloud or until it disappears. I thought it was the equipment I was using, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Below I've included a screenie of my ASV6/ASG settings.Sorry for some of the large images.Thanks! - Chase

Hi,What are your system specs?What is your Cloud Draw Distance set at in FS04?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi,Is Render to Texture On in FS04? How about AA in FS04?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi,Just to add to this, based on the screenshots it looks like pretty normal behavior to me, although Jim may be able to help you achieve better frames, it might be at a cost of graphics quality and weather richness. Clouds take resources almost more than anything else in the sim.It is highly recommended to run with "capped" or "locked" frames at around 20fps to avoid such scenarios and also provide a much better overall graphic depiction and level of fluidity. This has been highly documented within the public forum.Hope that helps!

FS AA is not.

Even with my rig I run DXT format, not 32-bit... That should give you a significant improvement,-PaulPrimary RigLiquid CooledAMD FX-57 @ 3 gigsAsus A8NSLI-Premium2 gigs Corsair XMS PC3500LL 2 3 2 6 1TXFX 7900 GTX 690/1750XFX 7800 GTX 515/135024 inch Widescreen LCDDual 19 inch LCD'sRaid-0+1PCPower and Cooling 1khttp://home.comcast.net/~psolk/3monitorsa.htmlBackup RigAMD 4000 San Diego @ 2.72 Gigs Kingston Corsair XMS CL2XFX 7800 GTX 515/1350 Raid-0

Hi,Turn off Render to Texture. And then you are viewing a full screen of clouds so a drop is going to happen, but it should be less with RtT off.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/
