Hi all!

Looking for some assistance on an issue I have encountered in P3dv5 and which doesnt seem to be mentioned anywhere else. Please note that this error does not seem to be related to an add-on, and I have this issue even with just basic P3dv5.

I have some extreme stuttering/freezing just outside of Stockholm when I travel east, it covers the area just right of Stockholm, beneath the Åland Islands, west of Turku and North of Visby (it stops when I exit this area). This problem is exactly the similar one I get due to the Clacton VOR, which will hopefully be fixed once I buy the UK regions/true earth package from ORBX according to this thread https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/143628-orbx-vector-stutters-in-egsq/ (never thought buying an addon would solve anything, but isn't that the beauty of flight sim).

However, as I doubt the stuttering in this area of the Baltic sea is connected to the Clacton VOR I just wanted to check if anyone of you know what can be done to fix this (e.g. is there a specific terrain, cfg file that should be tweaked/removed, etc.)? Please also note that I have already implemented the MK studios fix for Helsinki (which fixed all the stuttering around that area). 

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Try setting effects to low. Everything above causes those nasty lags @ CLN / egss / eggw / egll. Also experienced such freezes near ESSA indeed. Has to do with it.

I will try that! Interesting though that it would only happen at specific locations as one would think the special effects would be applicable at different locations at different times! I will let you know how it goes! 🙂

I now tried the settings thing and it worked fabulously! Thank you so much for helping with this! The only question I have left is what do I lose from moving the special effects slider from high to low? Couldn't really see much of a difference but would be interesting to know (in case I want to turn it on when not flying "problematic routes") 🙂

Special effects like chimney smoke from industrial buildings, water coastal waves can cause this too. Orbx has a lot with effects going on, causes a lot slowdown.

Observed this when flying from over water to land. Suddenly a seconds long freeze when I flew into southern England, from the North Sea, the same happened when I flew to ESSA. from the moment I left baltic sea the freeze began.

There is an ORBX topic about effects. Google it, freezing/ clackton. Effects slider to low is a suggestion at 1 of those topics.

I cannot notice substantial differences with this setting. This should solve all your freezes geographically related to this issue.

Glad I could help you😀

Yeah makes sense! Thanks a lot for the help! 🙂

Yeah the special effects option can definitely cause issues, I've had similar problems with the special effects turned up.
