Ground school time! When learning these systems I would 'sit' in the aircraft and practice. Systems powered up, parking brakes on and flight plan in 'hand' and just go through the steps outlined in the many videos about 'programming' the MCDU/FMS. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite eazy.

seasley, you've got it. Thanks very much

Yeah. Judging by only 1 (your) reply this not something common. I'm experimenting with Atmos Core and GTX. I doubt these have any affect, but you never know.

I have this problem with Live Weather enabled and changing the local time. My scenario is: loading into my flight and noticing it is dark and I want to fly in daylight, I alter the time using the Flow Essentials time widget. This is most often done by moving the time back to before sunset. The problem I'm seeing since Update 6 is the temperature is high at upper altitudes. Really high. For example, TAT of +37C at FL300. Obviously, the aircraft doesn't perform correctly and climbing is impossible. I 'solved' this issue by selecting a weather preset. Has anyone else seen this? Am I misunderstanding how this works? I assumed the sim would continue to use Live Weather regardless of the time. Or, maybe the sim used to do this, but no longer?

Yeah. TMTC is what I used to say. using old man voice: "I remember the old days...in P3D times, we had 2-3 good aircraft and we liked it like that!!"

Try searching for PBI There's 'reasons' involved...

Will no one think of the children?!

I went from Medium to High on Texture Resolution. Small increase in GPU memory usage. Seemingly a moderate increase in system RAM usage. And, a small decrease in average FPS. All and all, not a big difference; High resolution it is then.

Reckless, I know. I will try the High setting and see what happens.

My experience with this message: I got this message all the time and was accompanied with slow-downs and stuttering. What I did was change my Texture Resolution setting from Ultra to Medium. That fixed it and the sim looks only slightly different. See, I had a 32Gb card (RTX3090) but it burnt up. The replacement card had half that amount of RAM and I never thought about changing the texture resolution. I know, knuckle-headed. Anyway, check your Texture Resolution setting.

I'm watching this tread. I've always wished there were some filters beyond Airplane/Other when selecting aircraft. Yeah, you can use the search bar...

I don't know about the specifics about how this is, but yes. I'm getting much better performance. For example, I loaded up and flew the PMDG B738 and my frame rates were 35-60fps and higher. Before this update, I had parked this aircraft because, after the high-res update, my frames were really bad. Happy

Now, that's super-service. I've noticed a big performance improvement with update 6. The problem I'm having is with push-backs, for some reason.

I had a flight after the update. A 2hr cruise...a 2hr cruise! 😆 Performance was fine, but I had Task Manager running and the NVidia overlay FPS counter. I was hunting bear after all. In previous flights, it started really well but a sudden performance tanking would always happen at some point. I made it to FL300 without any performance hits. I was looking closely zoomed-in on DU1 and suddenly, it happened. FPS cratered. I looked at TM and sure enough, my GPU utilization was pegged at 99% where before it was in the 60-75% range. My initial thought was to just exit the sim and mutter a bit about developers. Nope. Gonna see it through. It seems that having the Route / Legs page on my DU5 open for extended periods was the culprit. Just switching to the Route/POS REPORT page and waiting a few minutes got me back to a 'normal' fps. There was still the slow-down as I passed below 1000 feet AGL through the landing, but was better than previous versions. So, don't linger on the ROUTE/LEGS page? My signature is out of date, I'm using a GTX5080 now. My GTX3090 blew up.

I wanted to share that I found (for me) updating to the latest game ready NVidia driver and clearing out my NVidia DXCache directory improved the performance for this aircraft (and MSFS in general) a great deal. I'm getting over 80 FPS on the ramp and 60 ish in the aircraft. I was in the mid 20s before the update. Also, as you all know, you must select a different aircraft before updating the A220. I didn't and messed up the installation including having no textures in the cabin. Also, I was streaming the aircraft and now I have it 'installed' instead. I didn't get an update with the 'streaming' option. FYI Pretty fun aircraft after getting out of my own way 😉 and the latest update.
