flydk Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 After i updated the e 175-195 with sp1 my frames have been very bad jumping between 6 - 17 fps on the ground an in low flight , at cruise altitude they are ok in the mid 30`s, i did not have this issue before with the first release. I am a bit of a lost on what the problem might be, do not have any trouble with the AS airbus or Mj Q400 Any ideas ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Same Here. FPS is very bad. All other Add ons are great including PMDG NGXU which is FPS hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey S. Bryner Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 +1 here as well. My experience of this seems to be at dusk/night. Daytime it seems ti be more stable and closer to normal FPS for my sim. If I fly out of KORD (FSDT V2) at dusk/night, I'm getting 4-7 FPS on the ground. As @flydknoted, in the air, it's fine. I was flying into KMSY from KMIA arriving at dusk and the descent passing below 10000 ft, FPS went from 30+ (stable) to 2-5 FPS on final and I had to disconnect from VATSIM as I could not finish the approach. I can also report that if I select a view other than virtual cockpit (e.g. exterior), FPS returns to normal. I've tried this with and without ChasePlane and it does not make a difference. I love this a/c, but this issue is making it more difficult to enjoy the E175/E195 with the SP. Jeffrey S. Bryner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Did you adjust the refresh rate of the instruments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my FPS settings in the EMB configurator. As this is for all models and I don't seem to have the issue with the E170/E190, I didn't think that would be the place to look. Suggestions?

vali Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 On low light (dusk) I noticed also stuttering now, reduced fps, especially when I was taxiing, was not the case before SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the model was properly optimised it should not be necessary to cut back on the instrument refresh rates. The poor frame rates have been reported over and over again. The Ejets really need some more work to get them to a proper standard. I have been a great fan of FeelThere Ejets through versions 1 and 2, but my experience with version 3 has been disappointing. There are a number of reported faults since SP1, with little indication of anything being done about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first brought it down to 25 for each slider and then to 5. Stutters all the way. Load different aircraft same flight no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORD-KBUF on VATSIM as SKW5321. Passed 10000 ft AGL around dusk with a low deck (4000 ft) with another 100% stratus layer at 6000. Started a long app for RWY 23, frames steady ~25-30. At DH for the APP (200ft) it was twilight, frames then quickly dropped to ~10, touchdown, KBUF on RWY 23 rollout, turned toward terminal and frames dropped to 2 fps. Then it became unmanageable. GPU spiked to 100% and was pegged thereafter (before it was in the 80% range). That seems to be one of the problem's symptoms. Disconnected and flew the app with another payware a/c and frames were stable on the app, t/d taxi to the gate and thereafter. Another observation --- Could this be related in any way to the V/C (and dynamic lighting) since the update? I still notice quite long load times for V/C textures, especially at night/dusk. If I switch views from v/c, to spot, then back to v/c in this scenario it seems to affect the degradation. If I am able to get to spot view and pan up to the sky, it seems to stabilize until I change view back to v/c. I wish we could get this sorted. I absolutely love this aircraft. if it will help, my machine specs are : Intel i7-6900K CPU @ 3.20GHz ASUS X99-DELUXE II mobo 32 GB RAM DDR4-2133 1066.1 MHz EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Dual 4K Monitors - LG Ultra HD Model GSM5B09 2 x 2 TB Sabrent Rocket NMVe M.2 8220 SSDs 1 x 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD 1 x 512 GB Crucial BX100 500GB SATA SSD Microsoft Windows 10 (10.0) Professional 64-bit Prepar3D version is: 4.5.13.32097 Relevant addons: KBUF - FlyTampa ORBX Vector, openLC NA, Trees HD and Terra Flora REX Sky Force for P3D v4 FS Global Real Weather (P3Dv4 Edition) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll start with the feelThere PIC E175\sharetexture\lighting folder. All/most of those textures all appear to be 4Kx4K, DDS format DXT5 Compression. I'll convert to DDS5 DXT5 with 2048 resolution, no mips first. After that, I'll have a go at the (what appear to be) VC textures in the \sharedtexture folder. I'll let you know my results. P.D.: For anyone who might be trying the same, I'll batch resize using PhotoShop's custom Action/Record and Automate as imagetool.exe does not (batch) resize. Jeffrey S.

pablo636 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I used to resize the texture (once upon a time, when the OOMs were around the corner) with this tool, it is really easy to use just select the size of the texture and the texture folder to be resized and done. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801/ You may give it a try at your own risk and after a backup of the folder.

edpatino Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'm interested to buy this set of aircraft for P3Dv4 (and future P3D5), but after looking at these reports about low FPS I'm doubtful about purchasing. Wouldn't be easier for Feel There to provide an alternate set of low-res textures to install in place of the HD-res in case someone is experiencing a negative impact on FPS?. I'll put my purchase on hold until further notice. Cheers, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for mentioning it and thank you to @FeelThere in advance for their permission. I'm still working on it, but bogged down a bit with the process using Adobe Photoshop and a combination of Custom Actions and File Automation tool using DDS files. Because DDS files are processed (on my system) in Photoshop with the NVidia Photoshop Plugin, it seems the resize part of the Action is not preserved by the Automation, so all files are the same size in the end. Still trying to find a way to do this for a DDS file and currently exploring NVidia Texture Tools. Jeffrey S. Bryner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, update to my update; I was looking into an old tool from Microsoft called texconv (texture converter), released as part of the Direct X SDK "in the day." MS re-released it as part of Azure Remote Rendering, but it lacks some capability. The legacy version was maintained and enhanced by a group of chaps and available on github. So, I converted all the textures with that version/edition and am testing. Jeffrey S. Bryner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Service Pack was released for the 175/195 product and this thread is for that (post SP FPS issues). I don't see this issue on the E170/E190 on my machine either. Best, Jeffrey S.
