Carenado PC12 Horrible Performence

[WattyA]

Hello All,

 

I have recently purchased the Carenado PC12 and have not been able to fly it. 

I am on windows 10 have an amd randeon r9 200 with 8gigs of ram. 

Whenever I turn my avionics on in the PC12 my fps plummets from 28 to 15, I can't get more than 18 with the minimum rendering settings, I checked my other aircraft and have no issues, JAR320, IXEG, FF757 etc.

I checked my ram, it is nowhere close to max, and the video card isn't working hard at all.

I have an updated driver and x plane 10.50.

I have attached screen shots of the issue as well as the log.txt file and the video card settings.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks~Alex

I also recognized getting lower FPS with Carenado's planes compared to others. In your case I hardly guess your CPU is the bottleneck.

Thanks Stefan!

Hey Stefan, I don't think that is the issue, I've got an i5 3.20 GHz and I know someone with the same thing and they are getting 35-40 on avg.

 

Any other suggestions?

Just confirmed it wasn't the cpu, this is the cpu while running the game...

Remember, X-Plane is using only one core, so single core performance is relevant. Your CPU utilisation monitor is displaying the overall usage. I made exactly the same experience like you, not with an I5-4460, but an AMD. Also the Radeon is not the best choice for X-Plane, due to worse OpenGL drivers compared to NVidia.

@WattyA -  I've had the same issue. The single core usage is the limiting factor here. I'm running i7-8500 with a Nvidia GTX 1080 and still see drops in performance with the Carenado aircraft. Check out this link, it helped me in changing a few settings around.

It is a shame that some of the Carenado aircraft cause such a large fps drop. 

 

If you don't mind me asking what are you averaging for the IXEG? That is my next purchase.

@raven1982Thanks , I usually average around 30 fps with he ixeg, it is very easy on the frames and a joy to fly!

Thank you, looking forward to flying it soon!
