Drop in Framerate


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, Hi Peter,

I've been using FSUIPC for years without any problems until I installed the Dash 300 Package by PSS (FS2004-Version) yesterday. What happens is, every time I load the panel, after a few seconds there is a sudden drop in framerate from approx. 26 down to 15-16 fps. I am using a lot of sophisticated panels like Dreamfleet B727, the B737-800/900 by PMDG or the ATR-Panels by F1 and there is no loss of Framerate. I deinstalled FSUIPC - and Framerates with the PPS-Dash-Panel were pretty normal again. Reinstalled FSUIPC (latest and registered version) - 15 fps! Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Actually 15 fps is pretty normal for me in lots of sceneries with lots of panels. Are you really spoiled by high frame rates?

Anyway, it sounds like they've may have programmed something pretty poorly in the Dash panel. It will be one of the gauges, possibly a TCAS? Try eliminating each gauge in turn till you find it.

Also, did you check the FSUIPC.LOG file? that may give you a clue. It should show at least one gauge trying to access FSUIPC.

Please bear in mind that FSUIPC doesn't actually do anything by itself. If something slows down FS when FSUIPC is there but not otherwise it'll be because of something it is using FSUIPC for.

Regards,

Pete
