Useful scripts. What if i have steam installed on another drive? Can i edit scripts in e.g. notepad to change paths to mine?

Yes, even simply WX Radar please.

I'll PM you when my kids go to bed 😉

Still getting the ridiculous 1/3 second precisely at 60 second intervals.  I'v done a lot of research and discovered at the MSFS forum there are many others.  I've tried everything ever published to remedy this and yet it still persists.  This is the number one reason I don't waste my time in the sim anymore.  I even submitted a ticket to Asobo but it must have been a low priority for them.

Steam version maybe?

As an introvert i don't want to participate in this quiz 🙂

I also recommend to look closer at your task manager when that happens. It is difficult at beginning but with time you will see differences.

Bartek, that is a good thought.  I'm using the MS Store version, but I did install Steam and perhaps it's what's running something in the background I will look.   Thanks

Please remember, it was exactly 60 seconds with stopwatch checked, so no 55 seconds and definitely no 3 seconds. I hope you will resolve this issue, because i remember that was headache for me.

You must consider if it is worth or not. We don't even 100% sure that the problem is from drive location.

As far as i remember, full reinstall occurred.

I had those 60 seconds spikes. My problem was solved after many hours of checking my gear and connections but in my case it was somethig else. I'm using Steam version and Steam main catalog was on other drive (HDD) than MSFS2020 (SSD). There was a steam process (i don't remember name right now) that run every 60 seconds and connect to MSFS. That caused 60 seconds spikes on my rig - right now Steam and MSFS are on same SSD and everything is good. Maybe that will help you. Regards.

Delayed.

Guys, check your account at PMDG. Maybe there is a discount for you :)

By the way I was under impression that ground radar is working. But I can't figure out how! Does anyone know?

I saw that also, but in my case it's pretty FPS consuming.

After update via Steam, the sim is not starting anymore. Great.

Me to, I have never used the frame rate counter, don't need to see the occasional one minute or so stutters and slow down. Happens over terrain, bad weather or good. one airport in the community folder, that's all. Same recommended settings since the sim came out. 

60 seconds stutters are with me from the beginning. I can fly with stopwatch and they are always there, right on time. Has anyone find a reason of these?

Hello. I need some advice with KMA20 unit with GNS530. I can hear morse code from VOR2 and ADF, but they are so quiet. Should volume knobs on radios raise sound? How can i identify morse code from VOR1, using also GNS530 (github mod)? All the best.

It only happens with Majestic Q400.

I can confirm the CTD by my side also. Windows event viewer says it is ntdll.dll error. I wrote to the developer of FFTF Dynamic and he said that his program has nothing to do with this library file.

What do you mean by “does nothing in AGL” ?

 

I mean that FFTF Dynamic is set to AGL Height Scenario, AGL range feet - 0 - 10000, FFTF range 0.01 - 0.1. P3D v5 is internally blocked at 120 fps. Till today that setting was best for my setup - 40 - 50 fps on ground. Now i have 25 - 30 fps - it seems like FFTF Dynamic stays on 0.33 value. 

Edit: Nevermind Guys. It seems to be working now. It was one time stopper.

Can someone check and confirm that FFTF Dynamic (ver. 5.1.1226829) is working? Program starts normaly but it does nothing in AGL Height Scenario. Maybe servers issue? Regards.

Yep, i can confirm, there is a new version online and it works in P3D v5.1 HF1.

No matter what value I set, I see no change in the frames.

Same here. In previous versions of P3D i was blocking frames at 120 (internal in P3D) and using different FFTF range i was able to see the result in FPS. Now it's not working that way.

So the problem seems to be my side. Can you please confirm, you are using FFTF Dynamic ver. 5.1.8.26742 on Prepar3D ver. 5.1.12.26829?
