Road textures made a difference with stutters

Featured Replies

I know no one likes to give up eye candy.  But it seems that P3D renders road textures differently than FSX.  In X it was always recommended to set 7cm textures... and my PC has no issue with that.

 

But in P3D my sim has been a stutterfest lately.  So I set textures to 1m.  I know it might look bad at some sceneries (orbx) or down low but it seems fine for me - I'm running UTX 2.  I can honestly run AG and scenery at max except those textures and it runs smooth.  I run in windowed mode.

 

YMMV hehe

Hmmmm - well it seems to work for me.  Maybe it just requires different resources from my CPU than FSX did.

I have Avast Professional and MalwareBytes Professional running when I fly, since I am after all connected to the Interwebs so I get my weather updates. However, both provide an exclusion capability, and anything to do with P3D (and related) is ignored. Not sure if Norton offers the same capability, but I remember from way past experience that Norton is a pig, period. The big commercial outfits, Norton and McAffee, are increasingly like Adobe PDF: bloat-ware.

 

I will have to check out this 1m setting. Over heavy urban areas I get single digit frame rates. Smooth, as long as I don't try a turn!!!   :lol:
