Hi guysas u can see on my my topic title my frame rate drops down at night. why at night happen this and dont happen at day time? for example at new york airport (fsdreamteam) during day time with stormy wethear (rex) and woai set at 45% i get 25-28fps in virtual cockpit(pmdg md11) and at night i get 13-18. why? theres something i can do? with this situation i cant approuch in vc because look like a slow motion. i think during the night time the frame rate must increase because its most dark so no too much works for the cpu. am i wrong?thx in advancedroger

Are you using UTX 3D lights?, or Orbx 3D lights? If so, that is causing a drain on your performance. You should turn them off if too severe!

no...just default light and the night light included inside the payware airport. i dont use the orbx or UTX 3d light. what could be? can i change something inside the fsx.cfg?i cant maker any approuch at night... :-(

Im in the same boat, my frames nose dive over NYC at night, during the day I can maintain 28 to30 fps, night time 14 fps, and the FSDT scenery taxi lights don't pop up until Im about to touchdown, which is just awful, tried there anti pop up tweak with no result. NYC is really the only place I have problems though.

my frame rate drops down at night time in all the payware scenery but most in new york. its the night lighting system the problem...so any way for enjoy nighting approch? my pc is not that bad:-q9650 at 4ghz- ssd hard drive- 4gb 1100 ram- grx 285 black edition

This is a good place to get an answer specific to your circumstances: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/I will say that those fsdreamteam sceneries, despite being top-notch, are FS9/FSX affairs. While I can't be entirely certain, many of these sceneries use a mixed-bag of development approaches that include using the FSX SDK, the FS2004 SDK, the FS2002 SDK and, perhaps, beyond. So, you get a mixed-bag of performance as "legacy" techniques are supported in FSX. Moreover, FSDT has their own "magic" going on in the background that is certainly non-standard with respect to the SDK. Lastly, don't forget that NYC is one of the more brutal areas for scenery in FSX - there's just a lot to display and show there.

thx but this happen in london, hong kong, frankfurt......everywhere at night. its i think a fsx engine problem....maybe some fix from fsx.cfg?

Try turning off "Light bloom" - if it's on.Unfortunately this is a very expensive effect

the bloom is always OFF. what about your experience? u get lower frame rate at night?

What you are seeing is not unusual. The night lights add alot of extra items to be drawn and the performance really drops. There is no fix for it as far as I know so its one of the many things we must just live with.

Night lighting uses twice as many bitmaps. Daytime textures and nighttime textures are blended depending on ambient lighting. In the daylight, night textures are dropped. This is applicable to both scenery, and also advanced aircraft.

thx. now i understand. ive solved creating 2 display profiles. 1 for the night (autogen to sparse and water low) and 1 daytime (autogen normal and water medium). with this way i get 20-26 fps on approuch until to the gates in vc.
