Hi guys,

 

I have a fresh Windows 10 installation, with a brand-new Prepar3d V3 installation, together with the PMDG 737 NGX. I've installed one of aircraft from A2A as well as the global base package from ORBX.

 

With the default aircraft and the other add-on aircraft the Sim is smooth as butter. However, as soon as I load the NGX, I get significant stutters. The simulation is smooth for 10 seconds, and then it freezes for a couple of seconds where the CPU utilisation drops to 0. The smoothness then returns for another 10 seconds, followed by another freeze, and so on. During my last attempt the whole thing ended in a bluescreen.

 

Windows 10 spent some time recording data before rebooting, but I do not know at the moment where this data is located for me to check it out.

 

I'm wondering if anyone else is fighting the same issue?

Nevermind, all my problems were caused by other issues.

 

The stutters turned out to be caused by an old FSUIPC configuration file. Letting it generate a new one solved the stutters.

 

The crash seems to have been caused by the CPU overheating, which apparently was not triggered by the simpler default aircraft. Reducing the amount of over clock down to 4 GHz (a relatively old CPU) seems to have solved the problem and I'm now 15 minutes into my first flight :-). Unfortunately the FPS is a bit worse, but I think it is worth it :-).

 

Feel free to delete my thread if this is not useful for anyone.

Frank, a solution attached to a problem is very useful to someone with that problem.

 

This is congruent with my theory that a BSD is hardware related 99% of the time. Glad you go it sorted out.
