• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum here so please escuse me if I make mistakes when typing.

I'm hoping someone could assist me, I made a post on a VATPAC (VATSIM) forum with my issue.

Hi All,

I am seeking help from any V4 experts. I'm trying to use dynamic lighting, but drop a ton of frames in doing so. I'd go and ask others if they get the same FPS hit and they say no. Which makes me curious as to whether it's a PC problem compared to an FS problem, although my PC should handle everything fine.

I have been searching the internet and found that all scenery must be updated to be compatible v4.

Users who turn on the landing lights in a Prepar3D v4 exported scenery will generally see only a slight performance hit, but if the same user then moves to an airport that was exported using the FSX, FSX-SE or Prepar3D v3 scenery tools- that user will almost always see a significant performance hit.

I have completed this but still, notice the frame loss.

I have attached a few photos of what I'm talking about, you will notice that the photo1 has ORBX v4 scenery at night, photo2 has ORBX v4 scenery at day and photo3 has default at night. Please take a look at the FPS drop!


Hopefully, someone will have the solution to this issue.

My PC Specs are:
i5 - 4460 3.2Ghz
GTX 1060 3GB
12GB RAM

Cheers

The real problem with dynamic lighting has nothing to do with 'legacy' models, it is due to AA -- particularly SSAA. Try reducing the AA settings.

Mate, you are a bloody legend! I was on 8x MSAA and then I brought it back to 2xMSAA. Boosted by 25 fps!
Sim does look a little shit, but, at least I can fly in the night time. So thank you very much!

Cheers
