July 24, 20178 yr Hi everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone else is having very high CPU usage when running P3D V4. My CPU usage when in cruise is at 98% and i've noticed i'm starting to get sound stutters. I'm assuming this is due to the high usage of the CPU. I don't know if there are any tweaks that i need to apply or any settings i need to adjust to lower that usage. I have tried to play with the settings a little bit but nothing seems to of worked thus far.
July 24, 20178 yr Author I have just realised i should mention my system specs, Running i7700K 4.6ghz GTX 1070 8GB. I don't have the settings in P3D set very high either.
July 24, 20178 yr Try unlimited FPS in your P3D settings.

July 24, 20178 yr What others programs are u running with P3d? Do u use an affinity mask tweak? hyperthreading on/off? A screen shot of your core usage in task manager would be helpful to troubleshoot. Matt Wilson

ON my system, as soon as I am locking my FPS in P3D, my first core max out at 100% and I am getting stuttering. If I am using unlimited FPS, all my cores are running lower around 70% and no more stuttering.
