May 12, 201313 yr do you fly around payware sceneries? Yes, all the time. In fact, mostly. Just flew into EKCH and had 2 fixes, no problems at all. Sander Rutte
May 12, 201313 yr It is an issue when you use a radial AND a distance... Just entering a fix and then different DME rings around the fix has no effect on performance. I lost 5fps as soon as I had a radial line and distance ring... It is directly associated with the radial AND distance, though I must admit that I had to check specifically, as it is a function I have not used to date. I have used the distance from fix function, but never defined a radial... If I need to fly to a non-defined point in space, I usually use waypoint/bearing/distance type fixes directly entered into the MCDU A Andrew Entwistle

May 12, 201313 yr Author conclusion: the Radio (green line) cause a slight fps drop. combining it with DME ring cause severe impact. those of you who said they don't see impact on frames, it's almost impossible to see the impact when you use only the DME green ring, if you will try to combine, you will se the terrible resaults.

May 12, 201313 yr Didn't service pack 1c fix this issue? Bryan Richards "People depend so much on automation that they forget how to get the automation to work." B.W.

One thing you can try, turn off the Hi def 3d cockpit option in the aircraft settings. You won't lose much graphic quality, if any, and you will pick up a significant amount of frames. It may be enough to offset this loss. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d

Hey, i am willing to sacrifice a little more frames for a high resolution cockpit as much as possible, i am interested if that problem can be fixed. cheers Daniel choen
May 13, 201313 yr I shut off the copilot displays...this helps a bit too Brandon Elam PMDG 744X/8i/8f PMDG MD11 PMDG JS4100 CS 757 CS 727 LDS 767
May 13, 201313 yr I have not seen the fps drop, but that is possibly because I have not looked for it. I will, but in the mean time... When you enter a waypoint in the fix page, you can then enter bearing and DME on line, like this: 310/15 or you can enter it on two lines, like this: 310/--- ---/15 Does entering on two lines help anything?

May 14, 201313 yr Yes I've ran into problems with the fix page before. I had two 396nm rings and equal time point shown which was fine - added one more and dropped to 10FPS. Removed it and back to 25! - Luke Pabari
May 15, 201313 yr it reduces the impact dramatically, yes. cheers. i don't thing it should be the solution, but if it works for you go ahead mate. cheerio Well how about that :-) Strange problem with a strange solution! Rob Robson
May 15, 201313 yr I usually place a 30nm range ring around my ARR. Airport so I know when I'm in range of the tower to request landing clearence. I have not seen a drop in frames at anytime. My frames are ~26 during APR. Into CYVR (FSDT) and Orbx PNW. With a 30nm range ring in place.

May 18, 201313 yr Commercial Member Daniel, Do you have an AMD GPU? I remember they were far more susceptible to this for some reason. Alex did a bunch of optimizing on it for SP1c - there isn't anything more we can do. For whatever reason certain video cards don't like the way these things are drawn. I personally don't see any effect on my GTX570 from this. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
May 18, 201313 yr Commercial Member Proof from my end:Nothing on the fix pages - 39.7 FPS: Two separate FIXes with both a DME ring and a radial - 39.4 FPS. That's just small margin of error/variance stuff there - the average framerate is exactly the same between the two for me.
