Evening all,
Me again!
So I finally bit the bullet and went from FSX to P3DV4. However, after messing around with the settings and reading some old forum posts about lagging and freezing I still haven't perfected the sim to be lag and freezing free.Don't get me wrong, it is a lot better than when I first started off. I haven't made any changes to the CFG apart from within the Sim.
In the Sim, initially it lags a bit, then after a couple of minutes its okay with the occasional couple of second lag, then after a few more minutes it just keeps freezing for about 15 seconds at a time.
I have downloaded Nvidia Inspector, but that hasn't really made a difference.
My set up is:
- Standard 1080P Asus Monitor
- Intel I7 6700K Processor
- ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
- Geforce GTX 970
- G SKILL Ripjaw V Series 16GB Ram
During my testing I have been using the default raptor at various airports, and then the new maddog x at EGBB (UK2000. The addons I have running are ORBX Global, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Open LC Europe, Vector and HD Trees. In the background I am also running VPilot and Active Sky. I have tried turning these off too, but still not difference.
Below are the settings of the sim currently :

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to get rid of the stutters/lag, short of suggesting a new graphics card as I would like to try and save money for new addons if I can get it working!
Thanks,
James Roberts
