I figured out the issue! When I install P3D I usually move the Prepar3d v5 Files and Prepar3d v5 Add-Ons folders to the dedicated flight sim drive I have and I create a symbolic link to the Documents folder where they are originally so that everything appears correctly to add-on installers. When I l...

Hello flynryan692 , “I had P3D installed before, but I had some hardware changes since then, and there were residual files in the appdata folder.” So, that is where the problem started, correct? Not exactly. I had it installed a while back, I uninstalled it and now months later I am reinstalling it...

Hello, I just installed the latest version of P3Dv5, activated it, and then from the main menu when I clicked "Options" it opened a black window behind the main menu, hung, and then crashed. I restarted my PC, tried again, it crashed. I checked Event Viewer and no errors are being reported...

As I mentioned in my Avsim post I already disabled ALL Add-Ons and did a few reinstallations. So the issue is not connected to Add-Ons or anything like this at least in my case. It seems like we'll have to wait for the developers what they found out or fix in the next update. Kind regards Adrian De...

Just wanted to report here for the developers of P3D that I'm still having periodic appearing stutters in the newest version of P3D v5 (v5.3.17.28160). The stutter appears mostly at cruise altitude and lasts for about 10-20 seconds then goes back to fluid performance. In the moment of stutter the s...

HF2 has been good for me so far and I am nearly done going all the way around the world. I have noticed there are sometimes random moments where it will do it for 3-4 seconds and resolve, it seems linked to loading clouds or sky textures at dawn/dusk but I may just need to double check settings and ...

Patch notes html5 performance improvement is a hint I found one cause a while ago! I posted a couple pages ago about how I was able to fly without issue again by removing all instances of HTML5 in the sim. I was able to do 17 flights in a row without a single issue since that post. I do wonder if i...

Fix is out... https://www.prepar3d.com/news/announcem ... 01/120955/

I was just at gate D4 KRSW (LatinVFR for V5), FSL A319. I went into the controls section of the menu from VC and returned to 0.3fps. I closed the simulator. P3D 5.3.15.28131 This is my second encounter of this happening first one being at cruise altitude and flying for over an hour. I'm sticking wi...

Well I can invoke similar behavior at the gate (FT EHAM V2) and just play with the time slider forward and backward and in between panning around the aircraft in spot view / locked view.... (Airport with dynamic lights) Aircraft FSlabs A320SL Doesn't this point to the thought of it having to do wit...

Gents, There’s been a bit of a thread drift here. To recap, we are discussing/troubleshooting a otherwise well performing V5.3/HF1/HF1.1 suddenly suffering from a permanent FPS drop/freeze. This bug does not occur every session and it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with any add-ons. I was j...

Haven't flown since before Christmas, tried to do one tonight and it turned into a slide show right at pushback.

This is so frustrating. It seems there is no resolution to this insight, so I have to either revert all the way back to 4.5 or switch sims if I want to fly.

Had it happen while sitting on the ground at KJAC yesterday. I was in between flights getting ready for a return leg, aircraft was configured, I wasn't moving nor was I clicking on anything in the aircraft or outside of the sim, just sitting at the gate. I was actually on my phone when out of nowher...

Completed KCVG-RJAA and then a couple days later RJAA-KCVG without issue in the PMDG 777. I intentionally didn't use GSX to avoid the HTML5 menu, and in Options -> Information I have "Primary Info text" unchecked to avoid those HTML5 elements. HTML5 is disabled in the prepar3d.cfg as well,...

I think the stuttering is caused by an overloaded core LP0. Check in task manager on the performance tab if CPU0 is at 100% all of the time. If you are not using Hyperthreading ('HT'), turn this on in BIOS (if you have this option on your processor) and see if that helps, accept the default Affinit...
