Low fps only with the connie

Post by HE11DUDE04 »

So for some reason i get low fps in the connie but not in other a2a aircraft and as i didn't realise the challenge of moving from warbirds to airliners i would like a refund

Hello,

can you please let us know your system specs and which platform you are using, as the fps should be similar to the warbirds.

thanks,
Lewis

I'm using p3d v4.3
Processor-Intel Core
Memory-DDR4 8gb
GPU-GTX 970 4gb
Storage-HDD 1TB

Edit-I think it was because i turned airport vehicles on i seem to be getting better frames but i will do some more testing later

HE11DUDE04,

Unless you can give us some quantitative info to go on, it's hard to make suggestions.

For example, what FPS are you actually seeing, both in the L-049 and in other add-ons? Is this with default or add-on scenery? And during what phases of flight are you seeing lower-than-expected FPS?

You also don't mention your processor model and clock speed which are both relevant.

Thanks,
Nick

sorry i completely missed the cpu thingy :oops: I5-6400 also i am seeing about 20-25 fps (maybe lower as i didn't check it on takeoff which was when it got very bad and the warbirds are around 25-30 fps

Okay, thanks for the added info. That doesn't really seem to be a huge performance difference given your opening post. I recommend you do a bit testing and try to optimise performance a bit in P3Dv4 generally, even if this means backing off a few of the sliders.

As Lewis says, performance of the warbirds and the Connie should be broadly comparable. Here are a couple of example cockpit screenshot from my own installation which demonstrate this.

P-51 Civilian | L-049 Constellation

These pics were taken on an i7-2600k @ 4.53 GHz / GTX 970 / 8 GB RAM / Win 7 PC, so not exactly the latest and greatest hardware either. :)

Thanks,
Nick

So i loaded it up at Edwards AFB with clear weather and it was at like 40-50 fps but with lag spikes going down to 16 fps and usually my sim doesn't spike at all. I will turn some sliders down and give it a try at some point in the week

I have exactly the same issue as you, I hope we can get an answer on this ? Its really odd how its just the connie :( which is probably 1 of my favourite A2A planes
