February 25, 20215 yr Hello fellow simmers. First of all, apologies if this issue has been covered elsewhere. I have performed a search and have not found the answer. So here goes: I am running a Windows 10 Home edition, on an I7 8700K 32 GB RAM rig. Since installing P3D v.5, and as I have a graphics card with "only" 6GB (Nvidia GTX 1060), at some point I launched the ASUS gaming booster tool and stopped all non-essential Windows services and processes (about 50 in all). To my surprise, I am getting reasonably high framerates (39/40 fps) at a busy airport such as KLAX, with a complex aircraft (Leonardo's MD83 or PMDG's NGXu), with Active Sky and Ultimate Traffic Live loaded as well. Outside the airport area, frame rates will climb up into the fifties. So it is almost perfect, without having do dish out a few hundred Euros for a new graphic card. However, one feature (there might be others, but I haven't detected them) is no longer working: night lighting of the runways at some airports (most noticeably EBBR). I launch P3D5 without the system boost, and the runway lights are on. I then launch the booster facility and all night lighting works except for the runway lights. As for the rest, the system is stable, within the known quirks of P3D5, which may CTD because of access violations, etc. Does anyone know which services must stay on for the lighting issue to be solved? Hunting and pecking is not an option, as indeed I can deactivate each service separately, but each time I have to launch the booster and then try again and again. Given the number of possible permutations for 50+ services and processes, it is an impossible task to complete in a lifetime. Cheers, Giorgio Porzio
February 25, 20215 yr Playing with Windows services is something I gave up on a long time ago as I found little to no benefit in doing so. That said, if you want to safely tweak your OS, I suggest you check out the Black Viper website. This guy has been keeping people out of trouble for years with his OS services charts that show settings for Default, Safe and Tweaked.

See if the issue is resolved. If not, then enable the previous 25 and disable the next 25. If not again, try a different combination of services in case multiple services together are causing the issue. Continue isolating the issue in smaller chunks and so forth.

February 26, 20215 yr Author Thanks for your replies. Yes, I tried working in chunks but I have been unsuccessful in pinpointing the services or processes or combinations thereof I need to keep. I’ll definitely try the Black Viper solution. When in non boosted mode, I am getting about 12-13 fps. As soon as I kill unnecessary processes and services, I get between 35 and 45 fps. Thanks again!

As soon as I kill unnecessary processes and services, I get between 35 and 45 fps I never saw any change with these boosters, although they announced, having stopped many services. You may have programs running in the back who really use the cpu, like the sim itself. All these windows services are almost at 0% cpu idling in the back. I also never had problems using a booster program. They usually restart all services with a push of a button. I can hardly believe a windows service has a partial influence on the lighting of the sim. That must be something different. I´d expect the complete graphic failure but not just a part of it. Maybe the time was different and the sim switched off the lights.
