Oh! That's inspired. I'd never have thought of that. Thanks.

Guys,

Just wanted to give you a little update on this one.

We've manged to reproduce and identify the issue which appears to be related to playback of the .wav sounds via the OpenAL API.

Michał K has since been able to recode the Accu-Sim sound module for the J-3 to use a compressed 'sounds.pk' file as for the more recent Accu-Sim releases. We'll add this more fps-friendly Accu-Sim module to the update currently in testing, so the stutters some of you are experiencing when taxying on unpaved surfaces should hopefully soon be eliminated.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Any chance this fix will be applied to the FSX Cub also?
I raised this issue some years ago: viewtopic.php?f=65&t=33486

Thanks in advance

Guys,

An update for the J-3 Cub which includes the performance improvement for the Accu-Sim sounds is now available.

For anyone who has noticed choppy framerates, please compare performance after updating and let us know how you get on.

Not 100% sure how feasible this will be Ros, but first of all we'll see if P3Dv4 users report if the issue is resolved.

Thanks,
