After updating addon manager huge FPS loss **SOLVED**

The screenshot I posted which shows no fps loss, with a similarly complex PMDG airplane and the same airport the user reported: default NZCH.
Fact you seem to fix the issue by disabling the Addon Manager, doesn't necessarily mean the problem is *caused* by it. There is a difference between cause and effect, and I believe you are looking at the effect, not the cause.
It's POSSIBLE that, because of some other software you installed, even not related to flight sim, possibly an antivirus (but not only), some compatibility settings were wrongly enabled, and some of them might have a bad impact on performances. Also, it's even possible the antivirus is slowing down the system, because it's trying to scan for threats ALL files our software is reading at start, when recreating the cache.
Even if the antivirus is not blocking the software, it might still be able to slow down the sim, just because it tries to check each and every file every running executable opens, and we must open all your .BGL when a new scenery is installed, in order to create the airport cache.
Which is why, it's best to be sure to configure the antivirus to exclude the Addon Manager folder from scanning.

Well I turned off the anti virus downloaded the addon manager.
Excluded the addon manager map from the anti virus started P3D and the problem is still there 10 FPS.

I'm sorry but, as you can see from my screenshot, I cannot reproduce the problem. I have more than 100 fps with a default airplane, and GSX of course.
Aether:
That's no argument I can show you a screen shot that shows 10 FPS.
I am a customer and enjoyed GSX for a number of years no issues. All I did was updating the addon manager nothing else and now I have this problem.
You know if it was only me then it's my problem but I think there are others too that have this issue, so please try to help your customers.
Please tell me what I can try or do to resolve this.
Regards.

You don't seem to understand.
I really believe YOU have 10 fps ( you assumed I didn't ? ), but the whole point of my screenshot, was to prove you it must be something in your system because, if it was a problem caused by the latest addon manager, it would always happen.

There are only a couple of reports, one of them only with a single airport, out of several thousands of users so, it's clear it must be something else, and the fps loss caused after the update was just a coincidence.
--- Quote ---I updated 3 things yesterday, FSDT, ORBX library and A2A aircraft. After updating all three, my FPS went down to 9

So, you updated 3 things, but you are sure it's the Addon Manager ?
--- Quote --- I just uninstall one of the FSDT sceneries and removed the addon manager and my FPS is back up

Why you don't try doing the same with those other addons ? Is your fps low with ONLY the Addon Manager enabled ? If you start taking into account the chance it MIGHT be something else, it will be easier to find the solution.
In any case, if you still have low fps even after disabling all other addons ( In P3D4 it's quite easy, at least with the "proper" addons installed like we do with the addon.xml method, just disable them in Options->Addons ), report back, and we might arrange a Teamviewer session, so I can have a look at your system and see what's wrong with it.
