  1. Check your audio drivers. Do you have Realtek installed? I’ve found that uninstalling that has helped me immensely. The other thing (which you already have done) is don’t use the AIG traffic controller as it uses way too many cpu cycles in my opinion.
  2. OK to provide an update, I've done the below with positive results. 1) AIG Traffic Controller was eating CPU cycles, sometimes more than P3d. I disabled AIGTC from starting with p3d and am using FSHud to inject traffic instead. 2) reinstalled Simconnect from within the Redist folder located in the main p3d folder. 3) reduced autogen draw distance to medium. These three things have gotten p3d back to running smoothly and without any issues... for now.
  3. Bob, every cpu core (8) is running at 100%. I’m investigating processes running in the background but do not see anything out of the ordinary. I’ve got defender exclusions set up on my P3d m2 drive also. I may try running the sim with windows defender protection off to see if that helps.
  4. Thanks for your response. I reseated the cpu about 6 months ago because my previous liquid cooler died. Will get some compressed air and clean the fans to see if that helps. Even switching from P3d to google chrome is a chore now… I have 30 fps set in NCP as well as Vertical Sync 1/2 monitor refresh rate. i had done some investigating previously on if a particular addon (AIG, AS, Fslabs,etc) was causing the issue and have found nothing specifically, as it seems to be all of them cause problems if they are run outside of the simulator. I will go back to vanilla and start again. I’m also going to try some other demanding applications/games and see if my issue is specific to P3d or if it is with other programs as well.
  5. Hi Everyone, I am having a rough time on my system with p3d V5.4 all of a sudden. I have a i7 9700K, RTX3060, and 16GB RAM. I know, not the strongest system and it is probably time for an upgrade, but I haven't had these issues until now really with 5.4. CPU is running at 100% while airborne all the time. CPU temps get into the 80s but GPU is not running 100% and temps seem normal. When calling the GSX menu or trying to switch windows to something like Active Sky or really anything while p3d is running, my PC freezes for up to a minute. My guess is it is the CPU trying to catch up and put cycles towards whatever I am trying to do outside of P3d. This is happening with the fslabs a320, pmdg 737/777/747 and ifly 737 max. Since I have a 9700K, I haven't messed with the Affinity Mask since there is no hyperthreading on this particular CPU, so I am just sticking with the stock Job Scheduler that is in my .cfg file. Any thoughts on what I can do here? The sim runs smoothly for the most part and looks great, except when I have to access anything that runs outside of the sim (like GSX), and then the computer goes haywire. Early phases of flight don't have issues, it's only when I've been running the sim for a while and and getting ready for the approach or after landing. I have sliders toned back a bit (mid range) on pretty much everything, so I don't think it is something within p3d that is causing the issue, but maybe something outside the sim (BIOS setting, drivers?) that I need to be looking at. Thanks
  6. So it seems. That is a bummer for sure.
  7. This is great! Thanks Max and Robin for doing this for the community.
  8. Off topic, but does anyone own the ifly 737 adv for p3dv5? Really thinking about ditching the ngxu and switching to the ifly but curious what others think about the ifly version. Doesn’t look like there are that many liveries out there for the 737 adv unfortunately…. i.e. no paint for the delta 737-900er which is the largest operator of the variant, or any copa repaints which is an all 737 fleet.
  9. Not trying to muddy the waters here, but take a look at ENVPlus also. That was built specifically for p3dv5 and offers more options than rdshade. one big negative about envplus is there are no presets online that you can download so you have to mess around with envplus more to find the lighting you’re after. Both programs are great and can’t go wrong with either in my opinion.
  10. I would post this on the iFLY forums over at Flight1. They should be able to get you sorted out there.
  11. I still fly the ifly max in P3d regularly and prefer it to the pmdg ngxu in p3d. the ifly max is a great plane and excited to see it in msfs.
  12. I’m pretty deep in this hobby already… I’ve flown the maddog since coolsky in fs9 and have always loved the plane. I just don’t know if I can justify spending €100 with the expansion pack. I know the Leonardo is an excellent plane and worth the asking price, I just prefer flying real world schedules in a VA so don’t know if I’d get €100 worth out of it. Sure it’s my loss, but that’s how I prefer to sim.
  13. I’d certainly pick this up if it went on sale. I’ve been looking at getting it for a while but haven’t been able to justify the cost to myself for a plane that is essentially a relic of the past.
  14. I use it with AIG traffic in P3d and it works well. Besides the bugs that fshud has currently, but that has nothing to do with AIG traffic. i also get better performance now that fshud is injecting the aig traffic instead of AIG Traffc Controller.
