The problem is that the development approach is fundamental wrong...

I find it amazing to choose the route to choose 3d objects (normally auto gen buildings not the case here 😉 and tied to the scenery complexity slider.
 

This is just the problem to many objects for P3D software to handle, it looks great but not usable.

With TENL there is at least a control panel in which you can exclude objects to improve performance.

I will stay polite as possible, but I'm not impressed with the technical implementation with this product.

Almost a port over from XPlane implementation to P3D :blink:

For the fun will buy the region for XP to test there and my guess is that will be fine...
 

Time maybe for me to say enough is enough, despite all the great and hard work from ORBX, but it isn't usable in it's current implementation.

Another region to write of to the recycle bin :'(

London is a fantastic diverse city, diversity is our strength, which in turn has given us over the last 10 years a plethora of chicken shops, none of which are seen in that screenshot.  Although the gherkin, cheese grater, shard, battersea and the oval are well depicted. Worth noting too there's no police cars or coppers to be seen either, that however is quite accurate

TrueEarth GB South is downloading to my PC as I type these words. It will be interesting to see just how my PC handles this product. With only 2GB VRAM on my GTX 770, I am expecting a struggle. On the positive side, I will be able to dump a handful of legacy products that were never designed to run in P3D v4.

770? Good luck mate, I struggle with a 2080TI and I9-9900K 😂 If I could be bothered I would try to get my money back until its fixed or P3D can handle it.

What makes it so different to TrueEarth Netherlands?

Not sure why but the issue has been raised over at ORBX

With UK2000 EGLL and QW787 I'm getting around 8 FPS at the airport with max FPS around 12.
On departure towards the east, I got 6 FPS over London at about 12000 feet. 
YIKES!!!!
Compared to True Earth NL and Fly Tampa EHAM where I see 15 - 18 FPS.

Someone on the ORBX forums called MatthiasKNU has suggested disabling all scenery files that have *3DM* in their name. There are 30 of these files in the FTX_EU_!GBS_05_SCENERY folder. 

Doing this removes office-style buildings from city centres. While centres can look a bit sparse, POIs, warehouses and residential buildings remain.
I got a 2-3 FPS bump on approach over London (using identical time, weather, AI and graphics settings as per my post below. This could be just enough of a performance boost for some people to use a detailed payware airplane and TE GB.

 


AMD Ryzen 5800X3D; MSI RTX 3080 Ti VENTUS 3X; 32GB Corsair 3200 MHz; ASUS VG35VQ 35" (3440 x 1440)
Fulcrum One yoke; Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack Airbus edition; MFG Crosswind rudder pedals; CPFlight MCP 737; Logitech FIP x3; TrackIR

For anyone struggling, I have after nearly 8 hours worked it out.

Incredibly it seems they only bothered to define 2 levels of Scenery Complexity. Sparse and Extremely Dense and nothing in between! 

@F737NG thanks for the tip that makes perfect sense because ORBX never bothered to create graduated levels of scenery complexity, so removing those types of building is like making your own 'inbetween' setting.

To run with NORMAL (= EXTREMELY DENSE) on even the fastest octa core PC you have to dial every other CPU setting down to 0. That is why people are struggling. 

If you go with SPARSE like I have now then you can put other Auto gen sliders up and still fly around London without stutters. The country side still looks nice.

Really poor from ORBX and not even helpful on their forums, just comments like 'oh you probably need to optimise Windows 10 and stop trying to max out your sliders' aimed at me from the CEO. Unimpressed. I have been doing unpaid beta testing for them. 

Anyway I now can get nice smooth performance at 30FPS but good god what a mission!
