Sr20 That bad on frames?

[Guest]

I've just bought the SR20 and to be honest, I'm pretty shocked at the frames I'm getting.  I average about 30 frames with the SF260, the Zibo, 60 with the c172, and 10 for the SR20.  I can't even taxi with it.  I've had multiple crashes to desktop.

 

I know my specs are not great, but to drop so badly is not something I expected, especially when the SF260 is a delight to fly.

Yeah, with that CPU you are on the absolute minimum to even potentially be viable. The Entegra system uses ~1-2 threads just to run itself. The physics model for the aircraft also uses ~1 thread. This is even before considering X-Plane and the operating system's needs. With modern CPUs with tons of cores this isn't an issue, but when you are running on a 4 thread total system, its going to be difficult to get running smoothly. We have seen other users find success through closing all other problems and minimizing X-Plane's graphics settings to minimum for ones that relate to CPU, as well as removing additional third party addons/plugins.

Damn, That was a waste of $50 - a plane I can't fly.  Honestly expected a GA plane to have a smaller hit than a heavy, even dropping every setting to minimum I was lucky to get 10 frames on this, and averaged 60 on the zibo, SF260, DHC2.

Honestly, if it's going to require specs far superior to the base game, it should be advertised as such.

I'm not sure why people seem to think this way, but the type of aircraft category has no merit to how an aircraft will perform. The depth of simulation and 3D does.
