X-Plane 10 slows internet

Hi at all,

I'm experiencing this problem during my X-Plane 10.50 sessions and I hope that someone can help me to figure it out:

As I use X plane 10 it seems that the simulator kills my internet connection, every program that is downloading something slows to 0 Kb/s untill I close X-Plane then everything came back to normal.
For example: I was downloading a game via Origin (EA Games) at 840 Kb/s but when I opened X-Plane and started the flight session the download speed reduced to 0 Kb/s and in the internet  tab of task manager every program is using 0 % of connection (while normally I have always some process that is downloading something).

Yesterday I reinstalled X-Plane (after a pc format) to try to solve the problem but nothing changed (at the moment X-Plane is "virgin" no add on/plugin installed.)

Can you help me? Is there something that I can do?

My PC: Windows 10 64 bit, X-Plane 10.50 (no beta, last stable update) CPU: i7 3770K @4.4 Ghz. GTX 780Ti 3Gb, 16 GB RAM, SSD 500 Gb plus HDD 1 TB WD Blue, internet via ethernet cable (and a power link).

Every test that I did was in low workload situation: KSEA with default Baron 58 at dusk, graphic settings medium/high.

If you need some log file tell me, I am not so confident with X-Plane world.

 

Thank you in advance

Francesco

If you have gizmo installed open the Cessna 172, go to the gizmo Shell and paste in this command and press enter:

gizmo.sleep( 10, 1 )

 

This will make the gizmo plugin sleep for 10ms every flight loop. Adjust the 10 value to suit.

Making gizmo sleep forces X-Plane itself to sleep.

This yields some resources to the OS. The CPU sleeps. The GPU gets to catch a breath and MOST IMPORTANTLY ... the system bus gets a breather.

 

The Gizmo Shell will ONLY respond to command when its not loading a payware product like IXEG or the Saab.

You can switch to these products after you have entered the sleep command.

I did what you said but nothing changed...after a 2 minute the download speed (I'm trying to download something while using XP) just slows to 0 kb/s.

Thanks

So, does it means that Gizmo which is loaded, even with none of gizmo related products to run, is taking CPU cycles, making the stuff from the competition run slower ?

Is it possible to make gizmo completely sleep when not using gizmo enabled products ?

No.

It means we're yielding to the operating system from inside the x-plane process.

 

Why even bother stretching this to wasted cpu cycles? You really think I'd do that to you....  Geeze.

That was just a question, because freeing the system bus' , GPU and CPU ressources just by making Gizmo sleep surprised me a bit... that's all.
