flyboy747 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi. I've purchased KSAN scenery and running P3d 4.3. I am getting terrible performance whilst Taxing around the terminal area at night, its as soon as the aircraft (PMDG 777) goes into an area that is covered with the terminal lights I get stutters and the FPS just drop, when I taxi back to the Runway area everything is good. I have found that 4.3 is giving much better DL performance so was surprised to see this. Its also happening with all aircraft lighting off. Unfortunately this scenery is not useable at night for me. Anyone got any ideas or is the scenery problem some kind of legacy from the DL lighting issue in older versions of P3D? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hello Tony, welcome to the forums. What happens if you use a default aircraft in that area at night ? PMDG aircraft are a bit heavy on resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy747 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi Thanks. Just tested having the same problems with a default aircraft, everything ok in daylight but from dusk onwards going near the terminal building with aircraft lights on or off and the performance just drops. Just reinstalled the scenery but still the same, I switched off the DL option in the main sim menu and all was working fine so its definitely a DL problem. Would be good to know if any other users are having the same issue. Glad I purchased it when it as the 4th July half price day and not paid the full price lol. Oh well at least I can still use it as long as it doesn't get dark!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hello Tony, I do not have Dynamic Lighting enabled, so I have not been able to replicate the problem. Each to his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy747 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 And if you did have the DL option enabled are you having the same problem as me? It’s not really an option for me to switch it off as you will not have any ground taxi lights etc. Before 4.3 the work around was not to have many external lights switched on in the aircraft, now in other developers scenery’s since 4.3 they are all working fine accept KSAN.

Smudger Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I have got ground taxi lights although I have not ticked the Dynamic Lighting. The next one down is Landing lights illuminate ground. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manihell Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 May just be a patch until this problem is fixed- you can simply deactivate the dynamic lighting for KSAN by turning the associated BGL file to "BGL.off". The file is located in the effects folder (main directory) - search dynamic. The "updated" version of KSAN seems to have a lot of issues. A lot of the ground clutter at night is lit up as well- with no lights nearby. I also miss the static aircraft. The fix for me was to revert back to 1.0? The version before this last update. I also recommend trying out "Manhattans best" PTA preset from REX or something similar to get more realistic terrain / night lighting. It's amazing how much work you have to do on a constant basis with shaders and reshade in order to get the sim looking good.... There's a prefect balance but it's a moving target. Hope this helps!
