PSA: Clear Community Folder & Record Benchmarks

[RobJC 2,069]

Hey guys make sure you clear out your community folder before the update tomorrow. Also, you might want to record some benchmarks before and after the update to see what type of performance improvement you see. I did three quick takeoffs from KJFK, KLAX and EGLL with the 787 at 12 noon local time, and the first thing I will do after the update is try the same three airports. I recorded the ram and vram usage, and fps while sitting on the runway, during takeoff, and then once fps stabilized in the air. You might also want to record your in-game settings just in case something gets reset or changed.

What would also be very useful would be a list of any payware addons that break, don't function properly (due to LOD changes), or cause CTDs. In that way we can help each other exclude addons causing issues from the community folder and hopefully create less of a headache for ourselves.

It would also be interesting to get any general feedback on how freeware addons perform too with the new LOD changes.

From some of the discussions on here in recent days, it seems possible there may be some such issues.

I see Flightbeam KDEN has already had a compatibility update for SU5, nice and quick
