RESOLVED Hi Steve, - confirmed that the integrated GPU is not used - removed an old installation of CITRIX Software, as it was listed as GPU in the device manager - removed Geforce Experience WITHOUT reinstalling the driver for the GPU - removed SimConnect which was still installed on the computer - removed some old liveries for FSL that I installed as executables. Unfortunately I wasn't so smart and didn't check in the process of doing these items, which one had a positive effect, but the issue is now gone. I have way more than 90 FPS now with the default scenario so the issue is resolved. The GPU is allocated at 70 % and CPU around 30 % in idle. Thanks for your help!

I was using FSLABS even before, but they have launched a Control Center (much like the PMDG operations center) which you can use to update the software and libraries. I installed the control center and updated one of the components, which resulted in P3D not being able to start. Other than that I installed some business software, and Windows Updates. I updated the GPU driver two days ago, but the FPS issue has been there before. There are no other processes that are allocating many resources. However I noticed that GPU and CPU Percentages aren't very high. The GPU in fact seems to be idling. You may have a look at the Task Manager here: https://imgur.com/yzHtdI3 I'll delete Geforce Experience and reinstall the driver solely tonight, and will let you know about the result.

Hi Steve, thank you for assisting me with this issue and your patience. I did all these steps before by following the guide, however I did it once again, just to double check. Still, the FPS in default scenario with lowest settings are at 8-10. Permissions aren't the problem here, because I installed P3D in the root directory. (C:\P3D) Regards Malte

Hello everyone, I am seeking some advice as I am unable to fix this issue myself. Some months ago before I relocated I destroyed my FS setup by installing the FSLABS Control Center and running an update on the FSL Library. Ultimately I removed all add ons and did a complete reinstallation of P3D by following the guide on the P3D forum. However, with a brand new installation of P3D I am getting no more than 8 fps with the default scenario. Here's what I tried already after reviewing several forums with similar issues: - run the P3D Repair Utility - update the GPU Driver - delete certain .cfg files and Shaders - remove unused devices and drivers - reinstall audio drivers - unplug audio devices - change the P3D graphic settings - change some properties in the NVIDIA Control Center I reviewed these threads: [RESOLVED] P3D stuck at very low FPS. - Page 2 - Prepar3D Forums Sudden Drop in Performance - P3Dv4.5 - The Prepar3d Forum - The AVSIM Community Prepar3D v5.3 Bad Performance - Prepar3D Forums Unstable P3D V5.2, Low FPS - Page 2 - Prepar3D Forums Low CPU/GPU Use, Low FPS - Prepar3D Forums None of these solutions had any positive effect. I know my system is not the best, however before I messed up my sim I was able to use FSLABS and PDMG, ORBX and other addons with no issues. Now I'm stuck with 8 fps with no addons even installed. NVIDIA GTX 970, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600K, 16 GB RAM Thanks for helping out!

Would somebody be so kind and write a little instruction on how to download the videos from the web app? I have bought the videos a while ago and as much as everyone else, I am concerned these will not be available in the future.
