August 3, 20196 yr I stumbled across a post from someone mentioning periodic, but not steady pauses in P3DV4. I have seen them too, even after moving P3D to an SSD drive. I have always enabled "Pause on task switch" in case I drop to my browser to get airport data. But out of need, Windows has background tasks. In Visual Basic, I had to add a "Doevents" into any loop for apps I coded, especially graphics apps, otherwise such apps could lock Windows tight. So I saw a suggestion about disabling pause on task switch to end the periodic, half second pauses that would come especially in the denser scenery areas upon approach into a detailed airport, like SFO. It worked--it has ended the periodic pauses, as I witnessed in a test flight I did in the payware Tecnam LSA from Santa Rosa to San Jose. Faster systems than mine probably do not need it, and the setting is off by default so the pauses would not be noticed. I only used it so the sim would not "keep flying" if I was using Airnav or some other website. John Edited August 3, 20196 yr by John_Cillis
