[turbomax 3,287]

version history says: v 1.2 release January 6, but I saw this update only today and no mention here.

only 😀 90 fps with weather radar, FrameGeneration RTX, 4090 @ 4K- TAA, super sharp no DLSS, CZST airport

 

125 fps in the clouds with rain. ok that's easy. 😀

Hmmm I wonder if they got dual TDS GTNs in there yet

EDIT:  Yep oh heck ya they got the TDS natively into the Mooney as well!

(I have dlss enabled so my pics are a little fuzzy)

And, LPV mode now shows the GSI in the PC12...  🙂

Next step: How to get the GSI to show on the GTN test page.. 😉

Nice - Sounds like they have fixed the white bar issue on the engine displays on Windows 11. Will have to try this out later.

no three greens while sitting on the ground, and LCD clock unreadable at night?

And unflyable after ca. 1h due to a huge framedrop and massive stuttering. Going from solid 60 FPS down to ca. 30 FPS with extreme

stuttering. 😩

Avidyne improved to avoid progressive fps loss, was supposed to be fixed. how is it if you turn off the Avidyne?

[ryanbatc 12,864]

I haven't seen the excessive fps loss after the very first patch.  People are seeing it again?

I didn't turned it on, after turing on the frames dropped in the 1 digit region.

Cold and dark start, turned Avidyne off and a little over an hour into a flight I was watching a slide show.

🤬 Carenado, you have truly dropped the ball with this release. 10 minutes into my flight I was thinking good for them, they are investing time in cleaning up their past omissions (to put it kindly), but the emerging FPS drop has me re-affirming the promise to myself to ignore their future releases until they can address their clear disregard for proper testing before releasing. 

How an experienced developer can so consistently mess it up is beyond me.

Try disabling the Avidyne and see if it fixes things..

Edit the panel.cfg file (in the carenado-aircraft-pc12\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_PC12\panel folder)

Add //

size_mm=640,480
pixel_size=640,480
texture=$AVIDYNE_Screen
;zorder=15

//htmlgauge00=NavSystems/Carenado/EX500/EX500.html, 0,0,640,480

This may depend on your lighting settings.. I seem to have both visible..

my lighting settings? give me a brake, like not visible under all lighting settings? In the real world, I would call this a severe bug, not approvable. but I understand, we are not in the real world but Carenado's.

p.s. it did work when I took off, but not after landing.

PC-12 lovers; just save your cash for the SWS.

I guess I simply have not seen this issue first hand, so was offering suggestions.. 😉
