The "new" SP2 for JF DC-8 is out BUT!...

[buspelle 152]

I had high hopes for the SP2 for this bird. So what has changed? Texturesizes and other things maybe, thats fine... BUT!

The crazy frameratedrop from 28-30 when sitting on ground ready for take off, to from the point when you have made your takeoff and start to fly, (and I started my trip from default ESSA, with NO AI traffic and no other high settings in my FSX)  ITS STILL drops down to 12-14 fps (sometimes even as low as 9!!!) and stutters like h###!!!

...And I HAVE changed the config. to the "lighter" (1024 textures etc.) version in the tool provided in the "new" package...

My Gosh! I give up on this one now...

I also see this, and it is pretty bad.

 

I want this product to be good, I really do, but as it stands I'm just not sure. I don't expect a high end sim for $30, but if they could just get the basics sorted, and this strange performance issue addressed, I'd likely fly the wings off of it.

Agree! 100%! Its a shame they have not fixed what seems to be the major issue here! too bad!

I have the same thing happening, I think I had 25-30 fps before the update. Now its down to 10-12 and stutters a lot, even with the "high" performance mode switch.
