Tushka Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Hi team, I have recently purchased Helsinki Airport from Orbx for P3D V5. The airport seems to perform fine during the daytime, but at night near to the gates the performance is notoriously bad (I am assuming it might be because of the dynamic lighting). I have a great framerate at mega airports such as Aerosoft EGLL and EDDF during night, same at FlyTampa Eham, while my framerate in Helsinki is cut by more than 50% when coming in to the apron. Framerates at LYBE (another Orbx product), is good even with the dynamic lights on. LOWI is bad, but there is an option to disable dynamic lights in the config panel which fixes the issue. Sadly, there appears to be no way to disable the dynamic lighting in the configuration panel. Is there any way to improve performance at this airport? Unfortunately, for the moment EFHK is unusuable during night unless you wish to taxi to a far away stand maybe... Another question. I am thinking to buy Orbx ESSA. I heard that this airport also has issues with night framerate, is it true? And if it is, can you disable the dynamic lighting from the config tool? Thanks Edited November 30, 2021 by Tushka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tushka Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 UPDATE: Please ignore this query for now, as it seems performance at EFHK has improved after reinstalling the libraries, so I will have to do further testing. I did buy ESSA in the end though, and that airport is a disaster when it comes to framerate. Sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hello, yes, you can disable dynamic lighting at ESSA in its control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tushka Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hi Nick, Lowering the AA settings from 4xSGSS to 8x MSAA seems to have solved the performance issues at ESSA even with the dynamic lights on. EFHK is fine even with 4x SGSS as long as you are away from the gates/stands. Is there any specific hour of the day when the lights switch on/off at Orbx airports, so that I can prepare to lower the antialiasing settings before landing there?
