Good evening to everyone!
I have a concern regarding FSDT Dallas-Fort Worth. I am running the latest version of KDFW and Add-on Manager for a start. I use several other FSDT products, such as GSX + Lvl 2, Charlotte, and Los Angeles. The issue I am currently trying to fix and understand is as to why my frames from being at the airport, to about 5-6 miles from the airports leads to severely low FPS (6-10 FPS). I know, I know, that's very low, especially for my workhorse of a computer. Some methods I have tested have been using different texture resolutions, FXAA settings, SSAA and MSAA settings, along with turning dynamic lighting on and off, HDR lighting, shadows to all different settings. I currently am running an i7-9700k with a stable overclock of 4.5 GHz, RTX 2060 Super, MPG Z390 Gaming Edge Ac, 2666 MHz ram, getting me roughly 30-40 FPS while playing with fairly conservative settings for what my gaming rig can do, coupling it with PMDG 25-45 fps, 50-60 fps for Aerosoft aircraft; however, when I am at the airport and booted the sim into a gate at Dallas, I notice my FPS is somewhat more stable, around 25-30. Sure, not the best, but it's better. The "approach" to the airport but not from the airport causes this, and I could be entirely wrong on this, but it's just my observation.
Just to screw around with my latest test flight, I flew from KFAT to KDFW and noticed an average of 8.6 FPS from 4.7 NM until I eventually stopped on the taxiway due to such lag that I just finished the flight early. I clicked "disable" under GSX because it makes the airport "disappear" and only this gravel outline of the airport remains, and I still saw the same FPS but it occasionally spiked to a whopping 12 FPS
I always have very stable and high frames at KCLT and KLAX, even using GSX Lvl 2 at all airports without a problem. FSDT KDFW has the lowest FPS on my new, good computer of all airports I've flown to in P3D for nearly 4-5 years. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your time,
Jordan W.
