cbcdesign Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I bought Edinburgh which is advertised as performance friendly. I have to say that is not my experience. In places I am finding that the frame rate plummets to less than 20. Its performing pretty badly compared to airports of a similar size. This is in 11.41 so what is causing this awful performance?

cbcdesign Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Here is an example. 17 frames per second approaching this section of the airport with free camera. The frame rate is unacceptably low. Something is wrong when frame rates drop like this with relatively little being rendered. I get better than this looking across the whole of Heathrow airport towards the city of London.

Jon Clarke Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I am aware of some og=f the reports of fps rate drops and some quite severe. What are your graphics settings in XP and which version of XP are you using? We will have to wait for @Greg Jones to respond further as all is OK with product as far as installation and working OK is concerned, The problem is performance which I cannot assist in except see if there is something in your settings that may improve the situation, but agree that 17fps is not good.

cbcdesign Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 The problem occurs in both 11.41 and 11.50B6 under Vulkan. Graphics settings are High(HDR) Texture Quality Max, 4X SSAA, No Shadows, World Objects Max, Reflection Detail zero. In 11.41 just panning is a stutter fest too I have noticed but the frame rates are about 2-3 higher than in 11.50B6. In vulkan panning is smooth but still very low frame rates. With default Edinburgh I get around 38 FPS anywhere in the airport with smooth panning in 11.41 and around 48FPS in Vulkan . I know the buildings are simpler in the default version but this just gives an idea of how hard the Orbx Edinburgh airport is on my system with the exact same settings.

cbcdesign Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Further testing this afternoon and what appears to be causing the biggest issue is all the car park light strings. As I get near to them the frame rate just falls away. At some distance I assume that they are drawn with a much lower lod and the sim runs at 35FPS and smooth as silk.

If you search this XP forum about EGPH performance you will find many posts about it and in particular the car parks. I cannot offer a solution I am afraid as there appears to be no support from the original devs. who i believe were Gaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbcdesign Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 No problem Jon. I know what the problem is and how to solve it so if the developer wont help I will initiate a plan of action locally. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRichardson Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I am having exactly the same issues with this scenery as described by Jon in the original post. The FPS is to say the least abysmal, and I am now considering uninstalling this scenery. My home Airport is Edinburgh and that was the main reason for purchasing this scenery, I am so disappointed and should have done research before going ahead with this purchase.
