Is there a way to turn off the popup menu everytime you start P3D ? Really annoying.

Download and install .231. It should be OK.

Same problem here. Had .231 installed. Works like a charm! I'm not interested on the changes suggested by the popup menu but keeps appearing!

Did you look at the ZFW that it loads from PFPX? It's nearly twice what it usually should be. So if I have a ZFW of around 131.0, it'll show something crazy like 241.

Hi Alex

 

Will have a look and revert

Thanks

Hi Alex

Did see the abnormal ZFW-value after PFPX import, via the AOC uplink, when using LBS instead of kgs. After initial import, this was the output on FMGC, as opposed to a ZFW-value of 132118 in PFPX:

 

So decided to do some further testing and a little more accuracy with the flight planning. These are the results, though incomplete at the moment as I'm up to where I'm supposed to enter the payload values (work tomorrow :-))

1) Redid the flight planning.

2) Switching between kgs/lbs units in the A320 displayed the following:

3. Reverted to lbs for release fuel input and note the following was showing in the payload LSK in the A320

 

Stopped here as I need to redo the initial FPL to improve the payload values, apart from being confused lol.

Will continue later

Kind regards

I'm thinking I might just wait for Aerosoft as I have not purchased anything yet Airbus for P3D.

If anyone is interested in why the FSL in my v4.2 gave me really bad performance here is why.

This is sort of disappointing for me.  Don't get me wrong.  I'm happy for you.  But, I was hoping it was something other than RAM.  I have 32G of RAM so I'm pretty sure that's not my issue.  For the most part, it is flyable for me still.  But it is definitely not better than 4.1 nor as good as what others seem to be getting with lesser hardware.  So for me, I'm still searching.  I'm really thinking of just biting the bullet and wiping everything and starting over.  Really hate that thought because it takes 2 days to re-install all of my scenery.  But, if that's what it takes.

Before you do that try lowering the refresh rate of the displays.

Its on page 3 in the options menu. its 30fps in 2D and 20fps in 3D.

I've set 5fps for 2D as I never use them and 12 fps for the 3D. I don't see any notable diffenrence in  the cockpit except if i fly the plane like a fighter jet but i gained a lot of fps.

I now have  from 40 to 60 fps. Occasionaly dropping to 30

Before it sometimes dropped below 20 with max 45 fps.

I admitedly have a high end computer  but i get this figures with almost every settings maxed out in P3D which for some reason seems to work best for my system ( less blurries and patch loading of autogen).

 

@Nyxx Glad you found the source of your problem. Too bad you found that out on a sunday and probably can't by ram today. See you in the skies

Before reinstalling your sim, you should take a look at this thread in the FSL Forum https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/16166-affinitymask-causing-stutters-and-underperformance/ and wait what the FSL support staff has to say about this. As you can see there are other people having perfomance issues with the latest update as well.

Interesting.  Thanks for this.  I will definitely give it a try before doing a re-install.

Interesting too.  I won't be doing my re-install for at least another week as I don't really have time.  So I'll keep an eye on this as well hoping that someone finds the silver bullet somewhere.  I'm flying in the NGX right now with settings higher than I am using in the FSLabs and it is "butter smooth".  I know the A320 is harder on the system than the NGX, but apparently there are people that are also getting the "butter smooth" results.  So I keep hoping.

As I suspected, they didn't fix the issue.  All this time with "a major" update and crap hits the fan.  Wow.

Great news Dave. Thanks for the feedback, now we will have to up the RAM during the next upgrade.

No biggie, Aaron. I can live with this, just plan in kgs if using PFPX otherwise there are other flight planning tools available. I'm sure FSL will have it resolved in the near term.

Am just thankful we are now spoiled with all these amazing addons from PMDG, FSL, A2A, TFDi and soon, the Maddog :-) apart from all the other scenery developers and tools.

Have a great day and kind regards
