Hi All,
I've noticed over the past two days that performance of my sim when flying the new PMDG 747 v3 is grinding to an - almost - halt. start the sim off and performance is fine, however start to see some freezes of up to 20 seconds at a time during set up of the aircraft. as time goes on, the freezes are still around 20 seconds, but the frequency increases so much so that the take off roll can last up to 4 minutes! it's basically unusable.
Nothing's changed on my system except the installation of the Atlas B74F since i started noticing these performance issues. When I bought the plane last weekend, it ran ok (not as reliable as the 777 or 737 mind you).
really not sure what to do. i've uninstalled the Atlas 74F and reverted back to China Airlines Cargo, but having the same issues. tried two separate airports to rule out scenery (they're very basic airports too - freeware bgl files, nothing more), also disabled vatsim, disabled all weather. i will also reduce my global scenery settings, but I fear the issue may be something else other than this - it ran fine last week!
I've read issues about a new nVidia driver leaking VAS, however I'm running a real old card, and I haven't updated it any drivers for it recently.
will test the same airport and set up with the 777 to see if i experience the same issue. until then, if anyone has any ideas, i'd appreciate it.
