DD Chicago X / ORD

I have both running on my system and notice that I get some stutters when landing on the 28's/27's during the day right around 1000ft.  Night time landings and day landings east seem fine.  Anyone else notice this and have an idea of what could cause this?  I run Tomato Shade, FSlabs, Active Sky, Orbx NA.  My settings are from Blackbox (https://blackbox.oneengineout.com/settings-overview/my-settings/) and my PC specs are below:

Depending on your scenery distance setting, this may be the point where it loads the downtown Chicago scenery, which is extremely demanding. It’s so demanding that I had to disable it as my computer can’t cope with it. P3D is always prone to stutters when loading large scenery files.

Just my $.02 here - 6gb of vram isn't a lot when we're talking about very detailed scenery and planes.  Suspect yours is being overloaded in this situation.  It will be affected more during the day because of lighting and shadows.  Even my 11gb of vram gets overloaded when approaching ord.  Same with DD NYC X.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Just happened to do a flight to KORD last night and right as you approach the runway it does a quick pause and then you see the silhouette of DT chicago appear.

FYI... I have yet to purchase DD chicago X or airport X. But it is next on my list...This was only with ORBX global in that region.

I don't really agree with you. While it's not enough for 4K, it's plenty for P3D,considering it's mostly the cpu that does the job, and the gpu that loads shades. When you see black textures is when you know you lack vram.

even if you do try and fly the fsl into ORD (espically with 4K) you going to get a massive proformance hit.
