Prepar3d v4.5 - Slow loading scenery

Featured Replies

Slow loading scenery usually has less to do with your CPU/GPU and more to do with your FFTF setting.

Your FFTF setting is too low and thus your system is not dedicating enough resources to loading in scenery.

w6kd mentioned the aspects regarding FFTF in an earlier post.

Yes, I bought Dynamic FFTF but never messed with FFTF setting before.

Thanks!

Yes I also got FSPS FFTFD. It does it's job.

Yes it's nice to have. It helps loading when you get down low into the scenery. Gerard is the expert on using it in anger.

great thanks, always was concerned about whether it was snake oil or not, but if it carries your endorsement...

As I say, it's nice to have. If and how you use it depends on what you want to be doing. You'll definitely have fun with it.

Coming into addon EHAM. FFTFD set to AGL mode. I made this during the final weeks of development. It shows the sim locked fps at 24. The settings are too much for the rig and it shows in the top graph the problem the sim has keeping up as the aircraft descends. The lower graph shows FFTFD controlling FFTF to allow the sim to continue the fps it needs.

@Dirk. Try these using core zero, and leaving out some on the LEFT rather than the right.

00,11,11,11,01,01,01,01
00,00,11,11,11,11,11,01
 

Steve, both work about the same - snappy! 

Thank you.

Me personal preference is the first one.

May I ask where did you get these beautiful graphs from? Are they from here:  http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=idealflightpro4 ? :ohmy:

What are your FFTD settings?

Thanks!

At the moment I have a load of new kit in and have not got round to making those settings and changes yet. Yes it is IFPro and that is still going strong. There's a lot of work gone on in that respect, graphs and CPU monitor. IF has also been upgraded for accessibility. The accessibility modes are tuned specifically to NVDA and Narrator with a set of texts for the reader that is more verbose than the common control labels. The Special Edition  >augmented version and the P3D v4 version also have a voice mode which speaks about everything going on in the sim. That's an experimental part being developed in cooperation with a blind pilots group. And they know their flight sims!

I know, I know,  it's long overdue, however, may I ask if the benchmarks are available in P3Dv4 Academic?

Thank!
