PMDG 737 & 777 performance problems

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

 

first I've to say that I don't have a high-end system - but with the right settings, the 737 worked fine, the fps was reasonable. The 777 frame rate was in high-detailled sceneries not the best, but also "regular". The performance was not great, but acceptable for me.

 

Now I noticed the following:

 

The framerate shows e. g. 20 or 30 fps. By moving the cursor over the buttons or click-spots the framerate decreases for a millisecond to e. g. 3 fps. If I move the cursor over more buttons, e. g. the num-pad of the FMC, I get a "flipbook" - the fps decreases again and again from an acceptable framerate to 3 fps and back to the acceptable rate.

 

I cannot remember that I had this problem from the beginning - especially not on the 737 before running the 777. I reinstalled the whole system (I formatted the hdd) - but the problem is still there.

 

I run the FSX on a Intel i5 -2410 with 6 GB Ram and a Radeon HD 6850. As I said, no high end system, but sufficient for me. Are there any suggestions to improve or slve my problem or is it normal and and I just have not been previously recognized it?

 

The problem does not appear on other airplanes (LevelD 767 for example).

 

I hope you understand my english - its not my native language. Maybe somebody can give me a hint for a solution - or I just have to live with it...

 

Greets,

 

Jack

It's not really a high end system for FSX really with all the scenery addons and complex aircrafts like PMDG. 

But anyway I guess you can consult PMDG 777 forum for correct NVDIA inspector settings.

Download the newest driver for you GPU. I had the same problem 3-4Days ago, and found out that the new 14. driver for the 6850 fixed the problem.

Thanks a lot - it seems to work! Thought I had the newest drivers...

 

After a first test I could not recognize a framerate crash to 3fps...Great. So again: Thanks to onerepublic!

I think there is a known bug with the mouse cursor stealing frames. Not sure if there is a fix for it though.

Thanks and Regards,

Threre is/was an fix... you just put the Mouse cursor in the left corner of your screen and your fine, aslong as your not using ATI

It's not a real solution, because whe you "recall" the mouse cursor onto the screen in order to push switches or turn knobs, the fps decrease is there again...
