I have been looking for some freeware scenery for Ibiza and installed a nice addon I found available on another FS site. This includes photographic base scenery and handmade autogen buildings and landmarks.

 

Result: Smooth as silk with scenery/trees/buildings on max.

 

Before I was getting slight pauses and minute stutters with the Orbx autogen (on normal/dense/dense). If I turned all the Orbx BUILDING autogen OFF then everything would smooth out. However their HD trees dont appear to affect the PC performance even on max. I wonder if that's a clue.

 

So I think when I next do a clean install of P3D I will drop Orbx scenery altogether and try some of the others available. On my PC at least it looks like their building autogen is the reason for my occasional pauses/stutters.

 

Also I am  now flying stutter free across the UK. Have reinstalled the Gen X photographic scenery. I know you lose the autogen but from 3000ft in my real aeroplane it's not something I notice. Even at that altitude trees and houses just merge into the landscape. It looks brilliant in P3D and FPS is over 120!

Exacta-mundo my friend! I have come to the same conclusion, it's definitely the Autogen of ORBX. I have both FSGlobal and GEP3D. When I compare them, P3D loads much quicker and is smoother with GEP3D. The problem I have with GEP3D is that everything is too brown. I've heard many times that FTX Global is too green for everyone and while I can see what they are talking about, I solved the green issue with a little help from the lovely ReShade framework. Hell I even took my Laptop up in my Aztec with me to compare GEP3D and FTX Global and global was the clear winner. GEP3D has my local area coated with a heavy  "tan" or colorwashed look and it is anything but that, especially after all of the rain that we have been having. 

 

Maybe we can put our little brains together and figure out how to ditch ORBX Autogen but keep everything else?
