September 10, 20169 yr Hi guys. I try mamy times to have a smooth as my X-Plane 10 P3D but never achieved the objective. Recently i upgraded to a 1070 and a 24' Gsync monitor. The other specs in my signature. 2600k 4,6Ghz HT Off and dedicated SSD. Many many tests with in game settings but always results in a non smooth sim at all even with good FPS. I have a very smooth sim with default ac and scenery and about 100Fps. Gsync works very well. But when i load an Aerosoft airport and PMDG 777 it have micro stuttering always. It have about 40Fps on ground but with some drops below 30. I tested many many setups but can't have smooth as silk. Now i have NI only for SGSS 4x. NCP with max power and Gsync. 144hz. Can you help me to get rid of those stutters? Thanks José Fco.

September 10, 20169 yr José, I think you should read the "Prepar3D Guide V1" written by Rob Ainscough available here at AVSIM. http://www.avsim.com/files/file/87-avsim-prepar3d-guide/ You might find your answers there. With your setup, you should have fluid P3D experience. Cheers Pierre I9 14900K 5.5 64gb ram 6800 RTX5090 Asus Strix Gaming E
September 10, 20169 yr Author José, I think you should read the "Prepar3D Guide V1" written by Rob Ainscough available here at AVSIM. http://www.avsim.com/files/file/87-avsim-prepar3d-guide/ You might find your answers there. With your setup, you should have fluid P3D experience. Cheers I just read it. I have tested many things and read many posts here and there but no luck. I had installed P3D 3.3.5 before and unistalled. Maybe the files remaining that i does not deleted are possibly causing issues? José Fco.

September 10, 20169 yr I have a very smooth sim with default ac and scenery and about 100Fps. Goodness... you don't need 100 fps and that leaves very little time for each frame to be processed. Try frame rate locking to give the process time to work and minimize the "long frames" that are characteristic of stutters. Dan Downs KCRP
September 10, 20169 yr Author More tests. Seems that with Gsync i have a pretty smooth sim, but noticed that sometimes FPS drops below 30 and possibly cause stutters. Is normal that FPS drops with my system and Aerosoft scenery and PMDG 777? José Fco.

September 10, 20169 yr I have frame rate locked at 20 and it never drops below an average 19.6 with smooth animation. Also using a 4k screen running at 30 Hz. Dan Downs KCRP
September 11, 20169 yr Author I have poor FPS when locked José Fco.

September 11, 20169 yr I have poor FPS when locked There are a few things you don't understand. First, frame rate is not as important as smooth animation. For example, a very high frame rate may suffer from stutters but a lower rate is smooth... which one do you want? Dan Downs KCRP

September 11, 20169 yr Are you locking frame rate externally in NI? What are you setting for frame rate limit? By any chance is the Aerosoft airport you have problems with the London Heathrow? Basically, that one is a dog that no one gets good performance with (the airport scenery is 4.5GB, your maximum VAS is 4GB, those developers need shot IMHO). I got rid of it and am happy with UK2000. I have a 980Ti and a 4K TV that I run at 30 Hz, with P3D internally frame limited to 20 fps, VSync and Triple Buffering. All is as smooth as silk including any airport except aerosoft EGLL.

No. I lock in P3D. Tested many numbers but always unlocked resulted in a more smooth sensation No i am testing in Malaga. 20 Frames is not a little bit? Even, think that limiting Frames with Gsync is an error. Also my monitor can't run at 30Hz. I have about 35-40 Fps in ground with 777 and As, and the sim is smooth, but some stutters because frame drops below this values. Maybe i need an 6700k. José Fco.

September 14, 20169 yr What confuses me in this matter and in the Rob`s excellent guide is as follows. In the pictures at the beginning of the guide he recommends frames to be Unlimited. But later on the guide, he recommends to lock the frames -2 of the desired number and only to use Unlimited if the rig can maintain e.g 60 fps. So,the question is, I can´t maintain 60fps,my monitor is at 60Hz, should I lock my frames? What about those pictures, which shows that even low end computer should use Unlimited? Tapani Österberg

There is no one setting that works for everyone. Also, there are interactions between many of the prepar3d.cfg file tweaks so it's too simplistic to say A or B works best. Pick unlimited and see how things work for a couple hours, then pick a frame rate lock at..oh say 30 and see what happens. Find the settings that work best for you. Why the small font???
