Dean33 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi I have a new laptop which I have yesterday installed P3DV4.1 on. With no other programmes / addons and stock aircraft I had frame rates of 100. With a complex aircraft 60 plus. All on medium to high settings except lighting. Happy days! Then I installed FTX Global. Scenery is on HD using symbolic link /junction. Flew exactly the same flight and with NO CHANGES TO SETTINGS and got less 10 to 20 FPS in VC. I've been using Global for year so I know this is not what to expect. I want to get this right before I add anything else like sceneries, regions, weather etc. Can anyone suggest anything obvious to check?

Smudger Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hello Dean, Is that an external HD that you have a symbolic link to ? Smudger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean33 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 No it’s a laptop which came with 250gb SSD and 1Tb HDD. 7700hq and GTX1070 8mb. 16mb ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Then it should not be a problem, what graphic card have you got ? Orbx Global on its own will not cause that drop in FPS, does moving back to just medium settings make any difference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean33 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Graphics card GTX 1070 8mb. Changed settings a little lower. External 30fps. VC 15fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigwx Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi Dean, try to rebuild scenery indices, by deleting files in your c:\programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SceneryIndexes_x64 folder. I had load times up to 10 Minutes, and after delete scenery indices and restart P3D v4 it was less than 2 minutes. Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 That´s interesting, @sigwx. I´ll check that, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean33 Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks guys. Three hours later I’m getting over 70fps in Global after a full reinstall of P3D and Global. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Good to hear Dean, bit of a round about journey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
