Help Tweaking SMP4 for Increased Performance

Good evening all,

I'm having some difficulty getting decent framerate with SMP while using overcast/stormy presets (or similar edited versions of those two) in XPlane 10.  It seems any setting above the bare minimum cloud area covered results in crawl.

I've disabled God Rays any any other feature that could be turned "on", as well as reducing resolution and texture sets to low.  Which of these settings are the "heavy hitters" performance wise? My machine is running a mildly overclocked 4930K paired with a GTX 1080ti, and performs beautifully when disabling SMP with XPlane settings maxed.

In "normal" weather conditions, everything is beautiful and fine... but when I crank down visibility things really get sluggish.  Please let me know what other information I can provide to help diagnose.

Edit: I apologize, thought I had posted this in the support subforum for SMP- not General.  Would an admin please move this thread to the correct location?

If you're seeing a "cloud detail" setting, that suggests you're using a rather old version of SMP. Updating to the latest (4.0.1) will allow you to pick up a lot of performance improvements we've implemented since then!

 

I was using 4.0.1 and referring to the cloud detail setting in the XPlane rendering options, not skymaxx settings.

Oh, got it. That setting should have no effect when SMP is active. At any rate, I'm glad you got it sorted out!
