October 10, 201411 yr Hello all, I recently reinstalled FSX and have been adjusting settings ever since, trying to figure what works and what doesn't. One thing I noticed is that AI traffic has a huge impact on FPS, much more than in FS9, or so it seems. I was wondering why my framerate in the air was often only at 18-22 fps at best with AI set to ~80% commercial and ~20% GA. I reduced it to 45% commercial, no GA, and my framerate spiked up to 30-50 fps. I am using mostly WoAI and some packages pieced together by myself that should use pretty much the same models. Is there anything else I can do aside from turning down traffic as much as possible? Thanks.
October 10, 201411 yr Try replacing your older WoAI models with newer FSX models where able. They are much more efficient and can really help both in the quality of the model (MyTraffic doesn't apply in this instance) as well as in performance. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
October 10, 201411 yr Author I guess that would be worth it, although it sure is going to be a pile of work... Anyway, some threads down (how could I miss this?) I saw someone made a tool called AI traffic manager. I just gave it a quick test and it gave me 10-15 fps more in a busy airspace (Chicago) while I couldn't tell there was any less traffic visible. This is seriously amazing.
