My FPS always drops shortly takeoff presumably since my PC loads distant scenery. Most of my cores go up to 100% usage for a few seconds which coincides with the temporary drop in FPS. If I lock frames externally I get worse performance, so I went back to unlimited frames and it runs a lot better. I wish there was some way we could assist Aerosoft with finding the issue, since they always say they're unable to replicate it because they have high performance computers.

Seems like my framerate always drops shortly after take off, but then goes back up after 10 seconds or so.

I really want this plane to work so I've been messing with the settings lately. Complete uninstalled P3D and everything and reinstalled one thing at a time. With just the base game and no add-ons, I get 40+ FPS with no stuttering. Using default display settings I get in the 50's. Adding ORBX brings it down to the 30's but still decent. Will continue experimenting. Right now my biggest annoyance is FPS will go down to the teens for a second or two, but then go back to the 30's+ and generally stays there most of the time. Specs are Intel i7-9750h (6 core), RTX 2060 (6 GB VRAM), 16 GB RAM, M.2 SSD With every other plane I've tried (no other airliners) I can almost max out settings and still get 30 FPS or more. Never have any VRAM issues unless max everything out.

I'm considering going back to the old, "unsupported" CRJ 700/900 X. The performance is way better compared to the current version of the CRJ Professional - a consistent 30 FPS with minimal stuttering. I was flying the CRJ Professional over Colorado this evening and the frame rates dropped to a 16-20 fps slideshow. Makes it not enjoyable and look like complete garbage. Never had this issue with the old version or any other aircraft for that matter.

Went back to non-experimental CRJ. Reinstalled RAAS and Ultimate Ground Crew X (UGCX). Prior to this issue, I could run RAAS and UGCX simultaneously with no crash. Now by editing dll.xml and including only one <Launch.Addon> section, I can run either RAAS or UGCX, but not both at the same time.

P3D v5, Hot Fix 2 Aerosoft CRJ Professional 2.2.0.1 RAAS Professional (64 Bit) by FS2Crew (LOCKED) P3D crashes to desktop whenever I change the graphics settings, and it happens with every aircraft (not just the CRJ). The issue is with clr.dll - see below. However, if I remove the RAASPRO section from dll.xml, I no longer have these crashes when changing graphics settings in P3D. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the CRJ and RAASPRO, but that didn't resolve the issue. I also tried downloading a new dll.xml from the FS2Crew support site, but P3D still crashes with clr.dll This week, I upgraded the Aerosoft CRJ Professional from version 2.2.0.0 to the experimental version 2.2.0.1. This is when the issue started; before that, I did not have these crashes or any issues with RAASPRO.

If I turn my display settings down, I get 30 FPS with little fluctuation and no apparent stuttering. I have frame rate locked to 30 FPS externally in Nvidia control panel.

@GEKtheReaper There you go, problem solved. @Prpn Your flaps placard issue has been fixed.

I don't know, I have no idea what programming goes into the autopilot. If it happens again I'll see if it coincides with the autosave function.

I still had the FSUIPC autosave file for the flight, so I reloaded prior to HBU. This time it did not deviate from the course on the leg to HBU. I tried twice - one time did nothing, and the other time entered the arrival runway into the FMC when 26 nm from HBU. I don't have the autosave prior to BAYLR. So, I haven't been able to replicate the issue even using the original flight save file. Despite a lot of the hate this plane gets, this issue doesn't bother me a whole lot since it's pretty infrequent and is easily correctable, as long as you're paying attention. Issues like CTDs annoy me a whole lot more. Overall, the plane has many things to like and looks and sounds amazing. The little things don't bother me - I don't need it to mirror the real plane 100.00% to enjoy it.

@GEKtheReaper Didn't delete DEN; took off from RW25 on runway heading and then Direct-To BAYLR. I haven't tried to reproduce it, will likely be switching to FS2020 in a month anyway. Just wondering, if you are able to replicate the issue, where do you go from there? Report the specifics to Aerosoft? I have zero clue how to investigate the cause.

I have an RTX 2060 with 6 GB and P3D v5 runs just fine. I can nearly max out settings with some planes, even while using Orbx sceneries. Not sure if that dll error is related to your graphics card.

Dang. I just spent lots of money on P3D because I figured it wouldn't be out til 2021. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

I wonder if it the drifting off course can be replicated or if it's just a random error... the drifting on my plan occured early in the flight, and it's a short flight already, so you wont have to spend much time on it.
