FPS Problems with Carenado ATR72

Featured Replies

Hello guys!

Today I want to fly with the ATR72 of Carenado, but when I install and then I loaded it on P3D, I get very very low FPS (6-7FPS), when my normal FPS are 30-35. Can anyone help me with this problem?

My PC:

GTX 1050Ti 4GB GAMING X

i5-4440 3.10GHz

8GB RAM DDR3

2TB HDD (1TB of external Hard Disk)

480GB SSD

I can only say I have observed the same in their ATR42 for some reason, until I am in flight, then the fps improves.  Some of their products are hit and miss, I do not quite know why because I have some similar tprops, like the Shorts and their Beech 200 that have fine fps.  Report both aircraft to them as a bug--I believe one of their gauges has flaky code in it, no reason why the ATR series should not perform as well as their other P3D aircraft IMHO.

Have you tried the lite version?

No, I solved my problem by removing some conflicts between my Nvidia settings and P3D settings, because I realize since responding to this thread, my Nvidia settings and P3D settings were conflicting with each other, I had Vsync and framelock turned on in P3D, but I also had set Vsync to 1/2 my monitor's refresh rate and I had adaptive tear control on, plus you must use threaded optimization, and none of those three Nvidia settings are set by default, and if you upgrade your Windows or drivers, they can get blown away.  So I found it is good to check them, since I just updated Windows 10 to the latest build in the last couple of days, and I updated my Nvidia driver to the most current version, then reset my three Nvidia Inspector settings and unchecked Vsync and set unlimited fps in P3D. 

That restored the ATR 42, same species of ATR that you have since they share the same brain, to great performance, all this I have done since I rested last night and woke up this morning.  I hope all of this makes sense, the issues are driver related, not product related as I thought, and I hate Windows update with a passion because it usually screws up some Nvidia driver, or some Nvidia setting when it updates, and in some instances it has completely blown my highest resolution support away. 

I supported a 300 node, three state, Windows NT WAN back in the day, but Microsoft has gotten very sloppy with poorly trained outsourced employees working for them from who knows where, and it is not that they are dumb, Microsoft just pushes them to work, because my employers used to do it to me and I would foul up, so I rose thru the ranks of management and became an speaker of smooth change management, rather than hustling people in all the wrong directions, it is the only reason I was able to retire ten years earlier than most IT and Aviation/Hospitality people do, because I have been in both fields. 

I suffered job burnout but I live on a simple pension, have my sim hobbies and I live a wonderful life vicariously with the memories my family and daughter have given me, having struggled so hard for them.  I believe in Jefferson Starship's anthem "We built this City" which some say is about New York, it is about Frisco where I was from, we were cool with each other in those days, we went to school so we would not be caught up in, as they say in their lyrics, corporation games.  The Starship was one of the few major acts that visited Napa where I was raised, and where I first took up flight simulation and first learned to fly. 

I never wanted to be like that guy in Washington who stole a plane just to prove he could take off--I planned my life the way my forebears taught me, that only birds should fly forever, and we need to walk away from our landings no matter what.  I learned that from reading about Eddie Rickenbacker's, the American WW1 Ace, will to live, as well as Chuck Yeager's will to see the stars.  You want to live to see the stars, not to see them go away.....

Go to Youtube and you'll find "We Built This City", then go to search for the band Journey's "Lights" song.  Both remind me of the minds that came out of "Silicone" valley, the men and women who created the GUI Interface and the web so we could live the lifestyles of the rich and famous, without having to be rich and famous. 

Glad you worked it out. As I have a G-Sync monitor, I stay far away from V-Sync and Triple Buffering. I do find that when they are switched on they can lower FPS quite a bit.

Just a suggestion, since P3D is highly dependent on CPU and GPU power you'd probably need an upgrade of both your CPU and your graphics card. Look at a graphic card of 8-11 GB video memory and a newer CPU (i7 or even a i9 series, if talking about Intel).

Carenado aircraft are heavy in terms of FPS mainly because they use 4k textures outside and inside.
