muso7 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi guys Love ORBX - fabulous update but I'm getting a big frame-rate hit Anyone else found this? Just tested identical setup/location/aircraft etc pre SP1 and post SP1:- (I don't have a super powerful system) - was always getting a comfortable 25fps minimum - now struggling around 11fps The look of the SP1 update is fantastic but I don't know if I can cope with the fps discomfort......

muso7 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Just a quick PS - have been advised to create a support item for this which I have done - could well be a problem in my environment. Sorry - didn't want to "frighten" anyone!! Cheers Pete :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Try emptying your preferences file - save the must haves to reinstall when XP builds a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Abdey Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Maybe the Shadercache too?... I've only had a little time with SP1 but I have not seen any change in frame rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado16 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Mark I'm seeing reduced frame rates too after SP1- down by up to 10 FPS compared to pre SP1. But note that Pete & I are running on a Mac, not the PC version so things may be different. Not a clue why, but pre SP1 it was running extremely well on not particularly well Spec'd Mac. Pete I've put my details & findings on your other post. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado16 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Tried resetting preferences but no change to frame rates, still significantly lower than pre SP1. I’m assuming that shadercache is an Nvidia or Windows only issue as there isn’t a shadercache folder in Preferences. Funny thing though, even with frame rates varying between 15 and mid 20’s, flying is still buttery smooth, scenery sharp and no lagging, stuttering or the like that one would expect with FSX at such low frame rates. So despite the lower FPS the XP/TE combination really is most forgiving on a Mac with nowhere near state of the art specs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muso7 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks John for the link - will look into that too although have already tried some of it. I am thinking this is a Mac SP1 distribution related issue - would love to know if anyone else (i.e. Mac user) has experienced this like Tony above....

John Venema Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You have two topics about the same issue now. This is how resolutions to problems get slowed down. I believe Tony has provided a solution in your other support topic, which mainly relates to you only having a 2GB video card on your Mac, and the PBR autogen being too much for it to handle.

muso7 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Yep - my apologies for the 2 topics - originally I was not thinking this was a "support" issue. Feel free to lock this topic as I fully understand the issue relating to "dual topics" as I administer a forum myself. So please accept my apologies and I will continue to find my solution in the support topic. Kind regards Pete :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
