I have been avoiding the "superhub" airports in MSFS for fear of tanking my performance so I thought that if I was going to buy one as an experiment then it had to be good old Heathrow. I'm astonished at how well it runs. I'm very shocked. I started it up with the PMDG 737 and all the bells and whistles just to see how bad the frame rate would be. I'm currently locking my frame rate at 60 and when I looked at the frame rate 60 is where it sat. I honestly didn't expect that so I started taxiing about and 60 is where it stayed. Well, there were a few drops down to 56 at times but if I had not been looking I wouldn't have noticed and when I did stare at that counter it didn't drop below 60 very often. I never took off and flew a circuit, that test will happen tomorrow but the ground performance had me scratching my chin. Ok, I thought......... with all the bells and whistles on and including GSX it runs extremely well so I thought I would merge this little experiment with one that I was conducting earlier which was that I installed FSLTL for the first time. I decided to see what Heathrow looked like with that running. Again I was impressed. FPS dropped to about 50 with the occasional dip into the 40s with quite a lot of AI. Now, dropping below 50 is a no-go for me with TrackIr but if I lower the AI a little and keep the frame rate above 50 this will be usable for me with AI. I was expecting to have to decide between a shiny Heathrow or AI but I'm beginning to see that I may well be able to have both. This was all very encouraging. And that model of Terminal 5 is really quite something and considering it was 30% off I have had my money's worth just playing around with it today. I'm impressed with their work and will be curious to see how their other stuff performs if/when I buy it in the future. Jaz, at what resolution, and LOD if I might ask. I have almost the same system.

That is the main compromise I make when flying the heavy stuff because at the altitude that seems to matter at I tend to have my head in the panel and looking at charts anyway but all my other settings are ULTRA or HIGH. Road traffic at 25 or 35, I can't remember which and no default dimwitted airport vehicles. The settings I have on HIGH are the ones where there is litterally no observable difference when compared side by side to Ultra. To be honest, Even with them on ULTRA I'm almost never GPU limited anyway. It's allways the CPU pegging me back. 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2

January 13, 20233 yr Why people still buy on this marketplace, I never get it. Besides the fact that it is always last to receive updates, marketplace addons are encrypted (important e.g. when you would like to modify the AFCAD).

January 13, 20233 yr I only use Marketplace when I am looking to cash in points, otherwise I dont bother. Its not just the encryption that's an issue, its the VERY long wait for updates too.
January 13, 20233 yr I somehow knew all this but had a lapse in common sense. It's Friday I suppose Regards, Max (YSSY) i7-12700K | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB 3600MHz DDR4 | Gigabyte RTX4090 24Gb | Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE DDR4 | Corsair HX1200 PSU

Though I understand why some people like the convenience of having all purchases in one store and further supporting MS financially to keep MSFS going. 1 minute ago, sonny147 said: Asobo need to sort this out , why the encryption ? Anti-piracy. It's disappointing that an entire product is encrypted, unlike say the one file or file library that controls the terminal buildings from displaying. Even if Marketplace updates were more frequent, encryption that prevents access to/modifying an AFCAD is a no-go.
