Did my first long-ish flight with 5.2 HF1 and got a CTD mid- flight.

Disappointed, as I thought CTDs were a thing of the past (well they were with 5.1 and 5.2 vanilla.)

Hi Ian,

That's a shame to hear that. Was there any specific faulting module in the windows Event Viewer?

Nothing. Just left it flying while I did some chores and when I came back about an hour later, zilch. No error messages, nothing.

Ian, if you have Autosave enabled in FSUIPC try reloading the last save and see if it crashes soon after. That might point to a scenery problem if it does.

If it doesn’t then it’s a different kind of problem.

Setting back NVC to default and balanced power solved the problem for me. CPU 6-8c cooler and very smooth.

I am starting to get annoyed with my install. I get this constant "stutter pause" or "micro stutter". It shouldn't be occurring on a RTX3090 with an I9 10700K at 5.2GHZ and a 64GB RAM with P3D on its own SSD. I literally have read through the 38 pages here, based on the readings I saw I turned off hyperthreading, tried several different combinations of locking/unlocking the frames, setting my OLED to 30HZ refresh rate, tried going back to 120 with variable refresh rate, nothing, bought process lasso, nothing, bought FFTF, same thing. It's almost like the sim is looking for some file or something. Tried deleting shaders, deleting the master HLSL folder and reinstalling the client, tried installing the client and scenery. 

 While it some of these fixes have made the experience smoother in the sim per say, I am still having issues with getting the stutter freeze to disappear. 

 

I have several add-ons. But I am unsure if one of them is causing it. My list of add ons.

NGXU , CS 757-757, FSL A320/1 /SL, PMDG 777.

Several sceneries from ORBX, TROPICALSIM, LATINVFR, TAXI2GATE, DRZWEICKI, FSDT, FLIGHTBEAM

 

Posting my CFG to see if someone can help.

I have i9 9900k with  2080ti with high settings in cfg and 5.2 but not in 5.1

I change back to balanced from high performance in power plan and back from prefer maximum performance to optimal (default) settings in Nvidia control panel.

I also have windows 10 feature experience pack.

HT off and unlimited frames.

First time no longer stutters for me.

 

@Alcides Segovia, Does this occur with a rebuilt .cfg file and no addons?

If so, remove your overclock and see what happens.

You know, this could really be the case. The following is based on my personal experience, but if I only activate the scenery layers I am actually using that moment, I have practically no stutters at all. If all layers are active (normally just for maintenance), I do see stutters.

@Alcides Segovia, could you post screenshots of your settings in P3D. It's not that easy to check things in a cfg.

You appear to have done all the right things so it's strange you have these problems.

Also, open Task Manager and go to the Performance tab. Is CPU0 locked at 100% continuously?

If it doesn’t then it’s a different kind of problem.

My VA doesn't allow that. But I flew again today and left off STB just in case. Perfect flight no CTD.

Who knows?

Sort of on topic, sort of off topic....recently moved from a 7700K to a 5900X (stock, nothing significantly changed in BIOS yet).  I'm seeing CPU 0 get hammered at 100%, even with nearly minimal settings.  Trying process lasso and a variety of AM settings - anyone have good experiences with any particular AM, FTFF, etc settings to benefit smoothness and utilize the other CPUs "better"?

 

(Running unlimited in-sim with 48 FPS locked via NCP on a 144 Hz Gsync panel SEEMS to produce the best results for now.)

What is your "Power Management Mode" setting in NCP?

The other cores are utilized once you start flying; standing at the airport makes them do very little, and no AM setting will change that.

You are writing about 100% CPU 0 load, but how is the FPS and smoothness?  Does the sim hold 48 fps?

It’s probably because you’re demanding 48fps. Try lowering it until core 0 isn’t at 100%.

What CPU and AM setting do you have?

I missed that earlier. That’s a 12 core CPU - twice the number of my CPU.

I doubt P3D needs all of them but for now try this AM setting which will utilise all.

5592405.

To utilise 10 this is the setting...

349525

And with 8 try this...

21845.

But as I said earlier I suspect your demanded fps is far too high. Try 30.
