Hey all, I've noticed recently when i'm in the cockpit camera of the fenix a320 lately my frame rate takes a significant hit compared to the exterior view. I get around 40fps with nothing loaded but when I enable FSLTL on low settings it drops usually about 2 or 3 frames which is normal but recently only in the cockpit of the fenix my frames are dropping even more to around 23 to 24 and its starting to get rather annoying while flying in the air, anyone know any possible solutions/fix? 

 

My specs are as follows 

 

RTX 3060 

I7-12700H 

16GB RAM 

2TB SSD 

I'd also like to know. I find the Fenix's flightdeck so heavy compared to the PMDG's NG...

Speaking of which, I wish I had the option of using 2K textures.

^^^ THIS 👌

Should actually apply to any addons aircraft... I'm on 1920 x 780, so 4k is a true waste of resources...

I actually find the Fenix the best performing of all my complex aircraft. I lock my fps to 68 and it is incredibly smooth. I run 4K @ 120Hz 

One thing that does make a difference especially at larger airports is I reduced my FSLTL textures to 1K

could it be other background tasks causing a performance hit

When I run FSLTL at full tilt, my GPU drops down to 50% utilisation so I figured the CPU was bottlenecking it. Would reducing the textures in this case make any difference?

Can you please point me to the instructions for the process you used for texture reduction to 1K ?

Thx !

I use AIG but even without traffic I notice the difference in FPS compared to the 737.

Same here, the Fenix A 320 is my best Airliner for FPS. 

I’m flying the Fenix right now after the update and it’s all but unflyable on my really old PC.  I’ve never experienced this before prior to this MSFS update!  I hope they can fix this real soon!!

The 2k textures probably won't make too much difference unless your GPU is older (<8gb VRAM).

One way to improve FPS is to disable the FO displays however it requires panel.cfg modification.

The utility 'Taboo' by Parallel42 can also be used to do the same thing I believe.

How are you able to achieve this? And yeah I try my hardest to get the most frames out of my system while maintaining smooth preformance. I use MSI afterburner, autoFPS and riva tuner to cap the frames which helps. But the fenix cockpit just brings everything down a ton.

Here you go, There is a written tutorial but this might be easier to follow

If you are running FSLTL at 100% you can expect severe performance loss. If I am flying out of medium size airports like IniBuilds EGNM I set my traffic at 40%-50%, something like IniBuilds EGLL maybe 10%

Maybe put your PC specs in your Sig and we can see what hardware you have, you will see from my specs I am running a i7-12700K & a 4090

I have a RTX 3060 Laptop GPU 6GBVRAM I7-1200H CPU and 16GB Ram. And a 2TB SSD, I play on a gaming laptop at the moment.
