manidep271 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 I'm probably blind in one eye and can't see out the other but I can't find any way to get SMP 5 at the upgrade price. What am I missing? Thanks. Quote

Guess I missed that in all the posts around the announcement. Wish I had the code before it went live. Well, just have to sit tight and wait a bit longer. Quote

simnut Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 This upgrade has driven my computer to it's knees. In Vulcan, I went from 40 + FPS to 4! In OpenGL, I'm down to 22 FPS. I've saved my Silverlining (SMP 4) folder, should work to just put it back into it's original spot right? I am running a i7-9700k, RTX2060 6g, 32 G or ram. Quote

You can simply change the cloud types in the SMP v5 settings. You do not need to go back to v4. Secondly, I'd like to understand more about your system. 40 to 4 in Vulkan, but only down to 22 in OpenGL seems...weird. What are your X-Plane rendering settings and SkyMaxx Pro settings? Quote

I went down to 10,000 radius, unselected god ray, unselected cloud shadows, unselected lens flare effects, unselected cloud reflections.....even reduced all cloud image sizes in the directory to 1024. For some reason my 32G of memory has 400mg left...WAY different than with SMP 4. No joy. Right now...with Vulcan enabled, I have 3 fps lol. My X-Plane rendering settings are as follows: Visual effects: High Texture Quality: Medium Antialiasing: 2x SSAA+FXAA Anisotropic Filtering: 16x Number of world objects: High Reflection Detail High Funny thing is, when I put up the settings screen in XP, you can still see the FPS counter of course. With that screen open, I have 57 FPS When I close that window to go back to the sim, I"m down to 3. Quote
Cameron Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 1 minute ago, simnut said: Anisotropic Filtering: 16x I wonder if this is playing a role. For test purposes, can you lower this? Also, are you by chance using ASXP or FSGRW? Quote

Also, are you by chance using ASXP or FSGRW? Just using RWC. I have FSGRW but I can't use it..... I just replaced the Silver Lining Folder with the one I saved (SMP 4). Back up to 40+ FPS. Shows I have 21 G of ram available. So something is packing the ram full to the point of making XP unusable. Edited January 22, 2021 by simnut Quote
T123NE Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 the problem is the XPRealistic plugin, turn it off and everything works. Cameron can you solve ... ???? Quote

We'll certainly take a look at this! It may not be an issue on our end though. We'll certainly reach out to the developer. Quote
simnut Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 I'd rather fly with XPRealistic than new clouds Quote

Noksi Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 I have to disable XPRealistic as well. Quote
simnut Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 If I disable the XPRealistic plugin, my ram is still plugged full. So I don't think it's with XPRealistic. Something in SMP 5 is jamming my ram full ......different than SMP 4 Quote
Motosuwa Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Can confirm. XPR2 is the issue Going back to V4 for now. I was very happy with that till a patch comes out Edited January 22, 2021 by Motosuwa 1 Quote

Something in SMP 5 is jamming my ram full ......different than SMP 4 @sundog will know best on that one. Does your FPS go up? Now getting numerous reports that disabling it DOES go up. If so, I'll be contacting the developer to get him a copy of SMP 5 and see what we can do to resolve this. Just need more confirmations. Quote

We just have to face realities and try to work on it from here. Quote

There must be some other addon you're running that could be causing it. For me, removing XPR2 has fixed this. Here is a list of my current addons (minus XPR2) Quote
