I need your help to test a theory : VFR maps eats frames

Featured Replies

Can you please start a flight. Go on the tool bar in the top, click on the gear and disable VFR maps. Please let me if you gains some frames by doing that. I am reporting some gains doing that myself. I am not sure if this anecdotal or real. 

Please report on this thread. If this is the case , it is something we should report to Asobo.

Yup, approximately 15 percent gain in FPS with it disabled (A320 on the runway at Beijing in a thunderstorm).

Beijing in a thunderstorm.

Joking aside, what GPU are you using?

I just tried it and I gained about 5 fps. disabling VRF map.

Interesting find. 🙂

I’ll say I just gained close to 20 FPS by doing this . Thanks a lot.

Also I found undocking those G1000 windows to a second display murders fps too, just like FSX/PSD/XP. 

I really hope there will be a way to run a second copy of MSFS over the network just for cockpit.

Yup I too noticed a big hit doing this. 

I'm just bumping this up for everyone that's having stuttering and framerate problems...

This isn't voodoo, it's a thing. Disable the VFR map from the in-fight menu. You can turn it on when you want it, but otherwise leave it off.

What is the best tool to test the frame rate gain and to see loads for CPU and GPU?

Have you tryed the monitor in the developers mode ?

Yeah. Just wanted to know if people thought it was the best tool for this.

I do for now. Especially with the posts and my own experience showing that external FPS counters are currently unreliable. Bonus is in different situations (weather, aircraft, etc) the built in one will tell you if you’re limited by gpu or cpu regardless of utilization numbers.

Every extra window seems to do that. If you click on the ATC window so it becomes a real window Windows style (instead of the blue gamestyle window), stutter is your part and FPS takes a plunge.
