V4.5 SUDENLY UNUSABLE

[cyyzrwy24 118]

I wasn't using V4.5 for a month, ever since V5 was installed over a month ago....I flew with 747 and 787 (all smooth and good). As we know there are no more updates PMDG/FSL (delayed for some reason) and  I decided to switch back and use V4.5 to fly my favourites. I haven't change anything in setting but I am chocking with 9-10 FPS....on the ground and in the air..... Not sure if re-installing ORBX base could contribute to this issue, but I don't think so. Lowering settings to minimum doesn't change absolutely nothing. SIM simply got stuck on 9 FPS and SIM won't budge. What I tried so far, deleted gen files and .cfg, repaired Client and other than that nothing. Not sure if anyone else experienced same or similar thing, please let me know....not sure if I should try anything else.

Only thing I was doing is setting V5 to my liking....and made it smooth. They supposed to be separate SIMs so not sure what I could do to make it this way. I always had very performance on V4.5.

They are separate. Your problem is with something you installed.

Nothing on V4.5.....Only thing is new ASP4...but when I shut that nothing changes. As I said I reinstalled ORBX base, but nothing that I can think off why that would deteriorate to the point almost stall.....scenery looks OK.

Did you change anything from nvidia control panel for prepar3d.exe v5? I find that any changes to that affects v4..

Did you perhaps update some program that auto runs with P3D? V5 and 4.5 have discrete folders - there is no overlap.

So many changes....yes. To make V5 smooth and indeed it is. But due to lack of "real" favourites in V5 I figure I will use v4.5 again for time being...but unable to. Mostly adjustments were in the NCP panel for P3D...now I can't even remember how many changes I made...LOL. CPU is firing on all 8 cores even (?!) no bottleneck there.... I guess if I revert to default will help. I can try of course.

Except 747 and QW787 no...yes I added only ASP4 and deleted old ASP for v4.5. but as I said that doesn't make any difference. On or off. I have to say one thing...FPS are steady...but at 9 FPS...LOL😀. I can't used it but.....

In NCP 3D settings click program settings and browse to prepar3d.exe in 4.5 folder and set defaults there. Can't hurt.

Well...there I have only p3d with new logo. Even though that I have two sims,  on one pC. Basically I can't choose V4 or V5. Not sure if that's how supposed to be but it is in my case....I guess I can do that.

Try resetting your NCP profile back to default by clicking the Restore button and see if that fixes the problem.

I'll try that.....BTW latest driver I have is 445.87....and that I have since April 14. Usually they bombarding us once a week....Is that the latest one?

[exeodus 78]

Yes it is, and I using that driver with 4.5HF2 with no issues.

I had a similar experience and found it was my sound output. I use a TV with speakers for display but usb speakers for sound. For some reason P3d decided to swap to the TV speakers. This killed my fps to 5 or 6 frames. Return P3d settings back to usb speakers and problem solved. This is reproducible. Worth checking.
