Wow Mitch, thank you so much!!!

Very Merry Christmas Morning to you and yours, hope it is a wonderful holiday!  Your settings are actually cranked compared to mine.  Perhaps I am being far too conservative.  It's funny, my performance was stellar so I was wondering if I should be turning some settings up and your post absolutely confirms I should!

Thank you so much again, couldn't agree more, I am as blown away with this release as you are!  Simply incredible job by the LM team.  It's not just an incremental from 4.5, it's a major upgrade but still all the "comforts" we are familiar with from 4.5.  At least for myself.

Off to watch the Webb Telescope launch now! Posting the link in Hangar Chat if it's not already there.

With everything you see in that post (my settings in sim and via nVidia Mask set into Granite(!)) , Paul...on my ancient system, I am getting FABULOUS graphics and metric performance. So...crank away...this version just ROCKS, and the BEST part, I am realizing again...is...if you like what you have...you can STICK WITH IT, until the cows come home...not yanked outta your hands by the next  forced update...NO SIR!  🙂

Cheers,

Ses (Mitch'er).

Your shots were incredible.  I just followed suit and matched your settings. At some point I still have to add the .31 hotfix, I am still on version .30

  Ironically on my system P3D did put the job scheduler info right at the top of my .cfg   Right now it is 255 0, 2 and 4 I need to play around and see if that is indeed the best setting for a 12700.   

I'm going to try a long haul today but so far I am gobsmacked just like you... 

Cheers,

I think that L.M should slang title this version, Code GOBSMACKED!   LOL!  Enjoy...for I'm sure having a blast...and have slapped my wife's hands away from the keyboard already twice...but living dangerously if going for a third time...(wish me luck!).

I fully agree on the V5 is stuttering in VR. I am a beta tester and encounter this issue since 5.0 were the stutter was introduced. My guess is, it has something to do with the new water rendering or ea rendering. 

I have a top notch system. 10 cores and 3090 GPU.  

I am seeking guys like you to confirm what I am struggling with. I've made videos and showed it at LM. But they don't pick it up and solve it. 

Thanks for sharing here. 

What can we - VR users - do to be heard by LM? :) Version 5 also doesn't like switching between VR mode and screen mode (sometimes needed) because of VRAM usage increasing and then crashing. 

Iam away from home working ( yep I know ) that's aviation for you 😪, is the FSL bus working ok with the latest update ?

Yes, you just need to get the latest experimental updates through FSL Control center

So interestingly enough even with my system once I loaded up the PMDG 777 at DD KEWR it absolutely crushed my system.  So much so I thought it was hanging but it was just loading.  Once I got it loaded it looked incredible but performance started to really degrade.  Once airborne it got worse until my sim looked like one of those videos people have been posting where it is literally 1-2FPS and huge pauses.  That's the down side.  So then I killed EA altogether but still no change.  I dialed back some settings and saw incremental improvement but the sim was still really horribly stuttering and pausing. 

The bright side is by dialing settings back I saw incremental improvement but then I turned off  Auto Exposure and External Vehicle Cast/Receive shadows and BANG my sim came back to life...  So I am now wondering if the more complex birds like the PMDG may have an issue with one of those settings.   

I am on my way to PHNL now from KEWR so the sim should run for a little over 10 hours straight all being well.  Then I am going to have a troubleshooting session to lock down which specific setting it was that brought the sim to it's knees with the 777.  Hopefully I can help others with the issue because I definitely saw the sim come to a crawl but then disabling one of those settings above absolutely was like hitting an on/off switch and brought it back to life...   

Happily at FL340 just passing Niagara falls on my way to PHNL in the 777 wiht all my hardware modules with ASP3D, Pac-X and PF3 all running on my client machine.  Interesting morning but like I said hopefully I can identify what's causing that issue for some people.

Same here,  I have a newer rig (specs below) and v5.3 will crash every time when switching out of VR.  Not so with 4.5 or other sims.  But I have read that DX12 in general is not good for VR (yet)…

Get these right and you can significantly improve performance and smooth out timeframe deltas.

Hi Rob,

Do you have any guideline yet from your experimentation on how best to tweak the variables?

In the past I’ve run P3D on the first 6 primary cores and all other apps on the last two plus their HT cores with good results. Now the scheduler sits at the top of my config file and I’m leaving the default values which is all 16 cores but still running all other apps on the last two primary and HT cores. It seems to run well but I’m always looking for improvement.

Default assigned values:

[JobScheduler]
AffinityMask=65535
P3DCoreAffinityMask=65535
MainThreadScheduler=0
RenderThreadScheduler=2
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=4

My system specs are in my signature.

Thanks in advance

Joe

I was having high frame rates but jerky scenery in VR with 5.3 but I did a clean install of windows 11 pro and reinstalled 5.3 and now everything is smooth and no crashes going in or out of VR.

I’ve no idea what I’ve done or what’s changed but I’m not putting on the HF as at the moment VR is running smooth and pleasant so I’m not touching anything.

What addons are you using?

I have a GTX 1080ti, but same screen resolution and my settings are far lower than yours (apart from 4x SGSS due to shimmering issues), and would like to crank them up a bit.

However, it could easily result in blurries as I'm flying the maddog in and out of FlyTampa Vienna as my base airport

My XML inserted add-ons show in one of my screen shots above, and I have probably close to 200 Orbx titles for P3D.    I run MyTraffic 3D_for P3D Professional, and have Hendrik's V2 Ships. Pretty much stuffed to the gills, ...and all of that in play...just splendid all-round performance with most of my Carenado 3rP G.A. and Business Jets.  For commercial heavy metal, I use the port over FSX S.E. 737, and ported over my FSX Kodiak 100. Also, the Beaver. So, being that I am mostly a G.A. slow and low flyer, with occasionally taking to the FL's...it's been a great version update. Just great!

I'd either apply the hotfix which you mentioned above that you haven't, (it addresses this issue) or reduce the road traffic to 0 until you do.
