FPS drop when looking at clouds my FPS drops big time from 40 to 15-20 and this never happened before please help.

Also If i turn off Active Sky the FPS go back to solid 40

Hi Mike,Sorry for the issue.Are you using default cloud textures?What are your system specs?What is your cloud draw distance set at in FSX?How many cloud layers is ASX set to use?Please try with High Priority Processes set both ways in ASX and see if one way makes a difference.Please let us know.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Anyone?

Hi Mike,How many cloud layers set in Active Sky?What video drivers?What is your AA and AF set to?It could be that Radar. You would need to try both ways.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

ForceWare version: 175.16AA is set to 8xSQ AF to 16xWhere can I check the layer in Active Sky?Is it where it says Cloud Layer Limit if it that it is set to 5

Try to decrease layer limit to 3 and reduce tickness too.

thickness is at 10000 should I put in in 5000 or 7000?

10000?? Neah ... decrease to 5000 and Cloud Layers to 5.

Hi Mike,Try with AA and AF set to 4X. Also, what is your screen resolution?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi Mike,Well that is a heck of a lot of graphics data. Try with AA and AF set to 4X.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Great! Now you can bump things up slowly on the AA and AF.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
