The specs isn’t the problem why have I dropped from 40 to 8 FPS instantly

I haven’t upgraded to V5.2 yet

Hello, I was preparing for a flight yesterday and so updated my aerosoft a330 professional by installing the new updater, I then also installed imaginesim Atlanata and when I loaded into the sim I went from my normal 40 fps to around 8. I have tried all aircraft at loads of airports and I keep getting this huge loss in performance. I uninstalled these two addons and I am still getting the problem. I don't really want to reinstall P3D as it will take me days to get back to the same place I am at. My specs are: GTX 1070 8GB, Ryzen 5 1600af, 1TB SSD, 16GB 2800MHZ RAM. Any ideas? Thanks.

Cool that sounds fine I’ll do that then, thanks

Thanks, if I was to get a 500GB ssd, would it be fine keeping all of my addon scenery for now still on the HDD? Like cause I have a lot and don’t want to pay too much for multiple ssds.

In the last few times I've installed P3D, I always find overtime as more scenery and aircraft are installed, the performance slowly drops, as I am running it on a HDD, is there any chance this could be fixed by installing on an SSD?

Thanks everyone for your help, at the moment my PC is extremely bottlenecked as I have a decent CPU but am still waiting for my GPU to come so at the moment it is fragile and small changes can massively change performance but I've messed around with some settings and managed to get back to 30FPS with the sim still looking decent, thanks.

Not sure if this is at all related, this started when it didn’t let me register SODE in the SODE menu when I reinstalled SODE and it still doesn’t, I had to make a custom entry, anyone have any ideas if this could be linked?

I deleted both of my addons.cfg, the one in program data and the one in appdata and that hasn’t fixed it

Yeah I was using the project fly addon editor to add some scenery and project fly crashed messing up my addons.cfg so I thought I fixed it but not well enough

I deleted my P3D CFG and reset some other stuff at the same time and I'm still getting the lower fps, this started to happen just the other day whilst I was messing around with my addons cfgs, any chance this could have anything to do with it?

It's the 2GB version and supports directx12 so meets minimum requirements for my V4, have got a GTX1650 super on order but it's taking forever due to COVID. I'll have a go with the CFG cheers

Hello, I reinstalled P3D the other week and I was averaging about 30fps in the FSLABS on low to medium settings, 40fps in the aerosoft a330 and 40fps in the QW787. For some reason suddenly the performance has dropped and now I am struggling to get 20FPS on the ground in the FSLabs, I barely use dynamic lighting and my settings haven't changed. Any ideas what could've happened? My specs are currently: AMD Ryzen 1600 AF, GT1030, 16GB 2400MHZ RAM, 1TBHDD. I have tried stuff like updating drivers and deleting the shaders file for it to regenerate but nothing has changed it, thanks.

But I’m getting BAW aircraft load in as iberia with multiple other problems like some TOM aircraft loading in as biz jets

Hi, because of the recent shutdown of FLAI I installed ultimate traffic live hoping that I could use it for my model matching instead. It has worked but there isn't a custom rule set so the aircraft don't always work and some airlines are muddled up. Does anyone know how I could create or install a custom rule set to get past this issue.

Hi, I am looking to do a shared cockpit with my friend on the Majestic Dash 8 Professional, he is using FSX:SE and I am using P3D V4 64 bit, would this work or would we both need to have the 64 bit version? Thanks, Alex.

Ah wow, just installed, getting much higher frames, almost as good as the PMDG 777, still getting poor frames in the aerosoft professional stuff tho, currently on version 1.3.1.1 which is ok, hopefully the next update for that improves frames as I used to do pretty well with it on version 1.2.

Ok, I’m looking to make an upgrade, would it be better to upgrade the gpu first or get an ssd?

Ok thanks, I regenerated the shaders folder which did help a bit but I also use the aerosoft professional stuff which the FPS is at about 12 FPS but this is due to my specs, I was thinking of making some modest upgrades, just one at a time to get a little bit better performance. I was thinking maybe an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti, some ryzen CPU and maybe like an SSD, but just wondering what order you think would be best as I am supposed to be saving money at the moment and can only really afford one upgrade every few months. I have no intention of going to MFS2020 in the future so small upgrades are fine as I have no intention of upgrading any higher in the next few years really either. Thanks again.

Hi all, bought the QW 787 recently with the most recent update but found the frames for me are absolutely awful, struggling to get above 10 FPS at UK2000 Birmingham where usually I get over 20 FPS in the PMDG 737 and 777. I am using P3D V4 with pretty low settings but I don't mind that, I only care about my stupidly low frames in the 787 as it's a fantastic aircraft which I am unable to enjoy. I easily make the QW 787 recommended specs, I know my specs aren't brilliant but I don't really want to be spending hundreds on upgrades at the moment. My specs are: AMD A8-9600 3.4 GHZ quad core, Nvidia GT1030, 16GB 2400MHZ RAM, 1TB hard drive. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas or if the aircraft is just generally awful on frames for everyone? Thanks.

Hi, I have recently purchased the JustFlight C152 in FSX/P3D and wish to fly in the aircraft I fly in real life and it's reg is G-CINA, it's a brilliant little aircraft and would love to fly it in the sim. The design on it isn't too complex but looks good, thanks in advance for anyone who decides to help me out.

Hi, I recently installed P3D V4.5 with some UK2000 scenery for EGCC and EGKK. When I open P3D, I get warnings from the scenery.cfg that the locations of the files can't be found and I have a look and it is using the wrong directory, I disable the sceneries as it asks and go to the scenery manager to change the directory but can't disable or delete the scenery. To make it work I add it again under a different name but I still get lots of warnings that it doesn't exist. I found the scenery.cfg in program data but it doesn't contain the Uk2000 scenerys in it to change/delete so everytime I open P3D, I get lots of warnings, any ideas?

Well thanks everyone for your help, I went to reinstall FSX and sat there thinking how long it would take to reinstall my addons as well so I went and bought P3D V4.5 which I was going to get anyway and installed everything onto that sim instead, I have just done a flight and the results are amazing, average frames almost reaching 20 with ok setings and UK2000 scenery in the pmdg ngx, very impressed and I'll try not to mess up my sim again. It's probably better because of the 64 bit coding and more modern use of my specs which allowed me to perform better in this sim, once again thanks to all of you.

Ok, I have the time so do you think it would be worth reinstalling FSX because I didn't use to have that issue however I have played around with a lot of addons so maybe a fresh reinstall might help?

Ok thanks, I tried the suggestion with the affinity only on asn but somehow that didn't change anything, might of even made it worse, thanks anyway though. I don't really understand whats going wrong though, I never had this issue before and now my sim is struggling, would it be worth trying P3D or upgrading something on my PC which could be a difficult task at this time?
