Is my rig dying?  Single digits with AI traffic off (boats are on with the awesome boats package here on avsim), autogen is completely disabled!

 

Seen in this shot are Orbx SCA, Latin VFR KSNA, Xtreme Prototypes Lear 25 (the new one), and REX textures with OPUS FSI generating the weather.

 

7 FPS!  FML!  Why?

 

ORBX SCA is most likely the culprit.  I don't own the product but ORBX NA Landclass does just fine for SCA without the fps and VAS hit.

In p3d can all settings go back to default like building a new fsx. Cfg?

turn the boats off and see if that changes things.

You should not be getting this much FPS hit - Turn off the cranes/boats something like that in Orbx SCA (see its control panel) and then go from there.

Something definitely wrong as your rig should easily be handling that scenery. Try running with each addon on/off  (KSNA, SCA, Opus) to narrow down the cause. And try a different aircraft.

Why?  That's easy.... Orbx SCA, Latin VFR KSNA, Xtreme Prototypes Lear 25 (the new one), and REX textures with OPUS FSI generating the weather. 

If you skip on over to the Lockheed forum, you'll find a coupla three other people with the exact same issue.

 

Possibilities are a bad Win10 update to ORBX issues. Not sure if they ever made any headway on the matter.

I've already got orbx sca running with all that stuff disabled.

 

I'm surprised that the auto-gen really doesn't affect fps - did LM offset AG to the GPU

 

I probably need a clean install of p3d

Last time I used FSX:SE or P3D I set Autogen to FULL LEFT, Scenery Complexity FULL RIGHT... No shadows.... no AI ( only low airport traffic )

 

Did run fine... at a solid 30 FPS in external sim driven mode.

 

With PMDG's 777 sometimes as low as 23, but still acceptable... 

 

AS16 and ASCA have no impact at all in my tests, either running on the same rig or over the net.

 

Ah!  Default scenery and mesh only - there are no miracles, specially for an old i5 2500 @ 3,3GHz

I notice Orbx SCA takes a hit often, I have no problem with it and having been born on the high Mojave I'm thrilled with the many details it adds.

 

This problem might be something I found with LatinVFR KSNA when overflying on a SID from KLAX.  My frame rate would drop to about 7 until past the airport.  Turning off the airport in the scenery library confirmed it.  I turned off a few of the photo bgl's and problem solved.  See also the Orbx forum pinned compatibility post where they have recommendations for making LatinVFR KSNA compatible with SCA.

I probably need a clean install of p3d

 

Maybe, but why are you not seeing any night lights from Orbx SoCal?

 

If you want to see if it's P3D issue, test the same location with all those Add-ons disabled and see what your FPS is like.  Are you using the FSX version of Lear 25?  Even if XP recommend turning OFF optimize_parts for the P3D version of the Lear 25, I wouldn't do that ... I see a FPS hit when I do that.  I just live with the Lear 25 visual problems and hope the dev will eventually fix it to work in P3D.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Autogen is disabled that's why no lights

 

I've got the FSX Lear installed in P3D with OP=1 back on

 

It wasn't a steady 7, but a drop to 7, multitude drops. Average of 12

Check your LOD_RADIUS - I had mine set to 6.5 in P3D and my system was getting killed on FPS and VAS.  Backed off to 4.5 and fixed everything.

I uninstalled ORBX SC because it was just too much of a load. NC works good but SC is a hog with memory and FPS.
