And he has figured it out now? 😄

And that is extremely helpful for airline flyers who only see traffic during taking off and landing.

We all knew that it has some influence on the framerate but almost everyone has always been focused on lowering both LOD sliders ….

And few knew that it had that much info on the framerate….

I have switched off all AI traffic in P3Dv4 over the past week, just to see how much of a difference it makes to performance. Framerates are not the key issue. It is reducing the stutters that matters most.

P3Dv4 ? 

Yes, that is correct. I never considered upgrading to P3Dv5 to be an essential option for me.

I see traffic in the air all the time with FSLTL. The air above the USA and most of Europe is super crowded.

You’re in the MSFS forum…

Well at least it confirms what I was suspecting would happen all along when MSFS was first released.

Dou you remember how everybody was gushing over the improved performance over the older sims? And I was always thinking: Just you wait until AI is introduced in the same amount as it is in the previous simulators....

 

Turns out performance WITH full AI is not much better than previous sims.

If AVSIM gave out awards you’d win one for that post my friend. Good day.

Wrong. Performance even with AI activated using new hardware is way way way better than old sims. That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact backed up by numbers.

Then why do videos like the one above exist? 😉

Attention seeking YouTube reels, aiming for hits to make money. 17 mins of rubbish for someone to state the obvious? 
And not everyone has new hardware. But eventually most catch up.

I measured it early on in FSLTL and even Simple Traffic and the reason I went to FSLTL from ST was primarily for control over density.  Even at a lousy maximum of 14 IFR I saw a good 15% penalty for frame rate when you get near busier terminals which in my case equates to 3-5 FPS and that is critical when you're aiming to maintain a frame rate of 33 in those kinds of terminals. In my mind asking the flight simulator to run an entire other AI traffic simulator within it is going to have major impacts on performance especially to the extent that depends largely on integration w/ the main thread which apparently it does.
