P3Dv4.5 Stutters and freezing.

Featured Replies

Hi Guys,

Looking for a little advice from P3Dv4.5 wizards.I have been having this problem for as long as i can remember and i have tried everything in the book to fix it 

from deleteding shaders to reinstalling the client,nothing helps.

The issue is when i departure either EGLL or EGKK to the East once i reach the Essex coast,mouth of the Thames Estuary or the Kent Coast the sim starts to 

stutter and freeze for roughly 3 to 4 mins then it clears up and i have no other issues during the flight.

I can depart Aerosoft EGLL at night in a payware aircraft (this happens in all payware aircraft and default) fly over the City of London with no problems at all smooth and a good 35FPS,once i reach the said areas

the problems start.Its the same if i approach either EGLL or EGKK from the east once i reach the coast the stutters and freezing starts,then it will clear up and i can 

land at the said airports with no further issues.I have no other airports installed around them areas so i am asking if anyone has any ideas as to what it could be because

i have tried everything to fix it.

I have no other problems like it in all areas of the world its just to the east of London.

With Thanks

If it always starts to suffer at the same point, my first impression would be scenery loading somewhere.

It's a shame we dont have logging options that can correlate specific scenery loading to stutters/long frames.

Are you running HT on or off? If on, with what AM? Do you get the same problem with default scenery? I'm afraid the only option is to first eliminate hardware setup potential issues and then methodically test adding in one scenery at a time until you determine what it is that's causing it.  Then you can start to identify a potential solution.

Hi Kev,

Thanks for the reply much appreciated,i thought scenery which may account for arriving at the east of London,but that doesnt

take into account when i depart and the scenery would already have been loaded.

Its strange it happens just on that coastline others parts of the UK are fine.

Regarding HT i dont touch anything in the Bios is just default,AM is 65532.

I have tried disabling all Orbx installs but it still persists even with a vanilla set up of P3Dv4.5.

It never used to be an issue i just used to keep away from the area but now i fly with BA virtual i have many departures and arrivals to and from the East.

thanks 

Gary.

This sounds like the infamous performance drop that occurs near the Clacton VOR.

I believe that someone found a solution to it over on the ORBX forums.

Thanks for that guys but unfortunately the fix doesnt seem to be downloadable anymore.

Have you guys got any idea how to manually correct this.

PM Holger Sandmann over at Orbx, he provided the original fix, so I expect he’d be able to do so for you again?
