So my game P3D V3.4 is lagging and having high VAS and I really don't know the issue I will post my specs and settings below, Thanks for help.

CPU= i5 6600k clocked to 4.5ghz

GPU= GTX 970 G1 gaming Gigabyte

RAM= 16gb

MotherBoard= Asus Z170-P

At least your CPU load looks toally normal to me, it's roughly the same I see. Core 0 runs at 100 %, that's the one doing all coordination, the other cores do texture loading only and are called by core 0 with ~60 %. Granted, this perhaps isn't the optimum but it's the way the present Prepar3d works.

I also think your settings are pretty much okay.

Maybe there is an issue with your overclocking which I can't help with as I never overclocked my CPU.

Kind regards, Michael

I don't think it's the overclock becuase before I had it even worse anything to do with the cpu %?

As I told you: I see the same CPU %. Not sure what your issues are, but I get (with very few exceptions) overall stable 30fps (limited by my screen refresh rate) and no VAS issues (that last fact may be caused by the fact I only fly GA planes and have outsourced a lot of stuff to a networked machine).

The first suggestion would be to start by a new prepar3d.cfg (make a backup first).

Kind regards, Michael

No AA at all?  Are you using nVidia Inspector with this config?  If so, you have to make sure the in-game AA is set to a value consistent with your NVI settings.

What do you mean when you say the sim is "lagging?"

If lagging means low frame rate, then frame rate and VAS are not related. Also VAS is unrelated to your system specifications, it is a value fixed by P3D being a 32-bit application and the amount allocated depends mostly on your settings and sceneries.  I suggest you review the AVSIM Guide for Prepar3D, it is a good place to start.

I think I fixed it by deleting prepar3d.cfg
