July 4, 20205 yr I recently REMEMBERED a possible performance tweak that I read about years ago...that just might apply to P3d...probably all versions! I'm running V5 and last week I applied this so-called "tweak" and since then it seems my sim has run without a crash, or a pause that made me shut the sim down. What is it? It's Anti-Virus "specific EXCLUSIONS". I'm running ESET NOD 32 Anti-Virus, and since I don't know exactly when it scans or affects CPU performance, I applied "exclusions" to My entire P3dv5 folder (It's on its own SSD). Then I applied an exclusion to my HiFi folder where Active Sky resides. Then I applied an exclusion to the folder that holds my FFTF program. Lastly, whether I needed it or not, I applied an exclusion to my ORBX folder and my ORBX Library folder. I really don't feel that these exclusions make my computer any more susceptible to a virus....since my most important programs and folders remain under the NOD 32 umbrella. Time will tell if this "exclusionary tactic" has seriously improved the performance of P3d. However, what do I have to lose? Stan Edited July 4, 20205 yr by spilok
July 5, 20205 yr I’m not sure why you classify this as a forgotten tweak. I think this has been standard for years and most people do it?
July 5, 20205 yr Can't classify this as a tweak but a worthy reminder anyway to those who might not be in the know.
July 5, 20205 yr Thank you for the reminder Stan. I did it for V4 but forgot to do it for V5. Karl i9-9900K@5,0 | 32GB 3200 | 2080TI | 4K 55" | MSFS | P3D V5
July 5, 20205 yr It might be just above running Makerunways.exe (very helpful if running AI or RASSPro) Latest Makerunways.exe contains a tool from Lorbi. You run it after adding a new airport(s).

July 5, 20205 yr It reminded me, to check and make sure my v5 folders were excluded. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
