Hello,

I've been experiencing extremely slow loading autogen while in-sim (not initial loading of the sim)  for quite a while now, even though I run a fairly good PC (i7-9700k @ 4.7GHz, RTX 3070, 16GB DDR4-3200MHz) and have my p3d installed into a Samsung 980 SSD which is pretty fast. I've tried de-bugging this issue but to no avail. Help would be appreciated, 

Addons; ORBX BASE pack, ORBX Terraflora, OpenLC Europe, OpenLC North America, OpenLC Africa, AU v2, Global Buildings HD, and various other airport sceneries

Thanks',

hi, Which version of P3D?,  first of all try 4/8 MSAA its less taxing on the GPU, in shadows untick everything except internal and external vehicle and clouds again less taxing, also have you tried " half adaptive refresh rate" in the NCP ?

Frames set to ‘unlimited’ and ‘very high’ autogen draw distance setting will not mesh together because not enough resources are being dedicated to scenery loading. 
 

See the first post in this thread for an explanation:

roger, I'll try setting changing my settings and report back... I'm using P3D v5.2 HF1. I've never had this problem with the first version of p3d v5 but as I got into v5.1 the problem started to show up...

I've read this forum post before but limiting my frames in-sim basically KILLS my fps even with low-autogen settings

Well, yes that's the idea.

It's a tradeoff: you are increasing the FFTF setting and devoting more resources to scenery loading, at the expense of FPS.

You can also cap your frames via Nvidia Control Panel.

For me that also brings down the fps unfortunately

whats your monitor refresh rate ?

your set up is similar to mine

Even after reducing my settings, the autogen loading is still the same 😞

Should I try disabling ORBS Global Buildings HD? would that help?

60HZ

Try this,  in sim frames to unlimited, vsync off, triple buffering off, in the NCP under manage 3D settings ,programme settings if not done already select add and find the p3d.exe once that is done at the bottom under Vertical sync select adaptive ( half refresh rate), also select under power management "prefer maximum power" also under texture filtering negative lod bias select "clamp" try that for starters ! lol

Thanks will do! So this is supposed to help improve the fps?

Also, forgot to mention I use FFTF dynamic program if relevant...

i use  that too, i find it very useful, another thing to try is verify all your orbyx scenery in central ?

@sonny147, Do you know of a way to get "adaptive ( half refresh rate)" in the NCP's Vertical sync drop down?  I only see: 

Use 3d application setting
Off
On
Fast

David i dont know why your not seeing adaptive half refresh in the NCP , update the driver maybe ? , have you got a profile for the P3D in the NCP ? also start a new post on here asking the question iam curious to now why myself !

maybe its the refresh rate setting on your monitor
