Scenery Causing FPS to drop?

[nathaniel0519 1]

Hello all,

I recently installed a scenery I haven’t used before on my laptop. I noticed that my FPS is way down then what it used to be. But the same day I installed that scenery, I also started using FS Global Real Weather. Off of experience with FSGRW, I don’t remember it impacting my performance that much. But if it’s the scenery I installed, can it have an effect on performance even if I’m not flying near the scenery? I took off today with 5 or less FPS. It was really bad. Thank you for any advice you can give me. I don’t mind uninstalling the scenery. I just want to know if it can have a permanent effect on the performance.

Yes, it definitely can. I’d uninstall the scenery and see if that makes a difference. If you can confirm it is the culprit, check compatibility and install location. Factors such as dynamic lighting, PBR textures can also make a big difference so check the settings .

Thank you Ian!  I’m going to try this and let you know.

Which scenery is it?... if it is EGLL, then most likely... EGLL is an FPS killer...

The scenery I used was MegaSceneryearth Portugal. Used it in fsx but not p3d
