Dear friends,
After looking everywhere without finding answer, I open this post asking for your wisdom.
I have recently noted a very strange behavior in some of my planes, only props and turboprops, in FSX-SE.
At the VC everything is fine, I have my FPS locked at 30 and my present rig maintains that no matter where and under what circunstances.
But, when I go to any exterior view (Spot, Locked Spot, Flyby, Top, even Tower), the FPS goes down to 0.5. The sim actually freezes, I must wait a time until it obeys any command at all.
I am convinced that the problem is related with the spinning animation, because if I stop the engines and go to an external view, I don't have FPS dropping. Even If I have the plane with the propellers spinning and I made Ctrl+P, when it accepts the order and the propellers slow their spinning, the FPS ratio increases at same time, and it reaches again 30 FPS when the propellers are still or moving slowly.
This problem affects only to some of my planes (Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended, Carenado B200...) and only since a short period of time, I have used these planes normally for years.
Thanks a lot in advance for your attention and help, and best wishes,
