No luck, start cold and dark, and when about 3nm from EGNS, pulsing from 60 to 10 FPS and unflyable. Turning back to EGAC now. Open for any other ideas or testing. I'm thinking C & D at EGNS, takeoff, go 50nm then return and see if it pulses. Also, what could be triggering it in "turn around state", that isn't in cold and dark, even after starting. Is there something and amateur like me might forget to start in cold and dark that would trigger it? Thanks for all your time and help so far, much appreciated.

Just tried that, reboot and reset on relocate do not help. Only this so far is to start from C & D. I'm at Befast EGAC, will do a short hop to EGNS from C & D now and see what happens. Can see the flight here..... https://public.airspaces.app/

Setting Cold and Dark in preferences solves the problem. Started her up in the correct way, taxi out to runway, tried every sound I could (started engines with window open..very cool) and FPS always 75. On runway, set aircraft to turn around, now FPS pulsing down to 15, set again to cold and dark, stable at 75, set to ready to fly, FPS pulsing. So mystery not yet solved but maybe this tells you something. Next test, fly from Dublin or Belfast to Isle of Man but start from cold and dark and see if it's ok on arrival, and try the same from turn around. Will try that in a few hours. Cheers

Well there you go. Cold and Dark status and apply....fixed it! I'm pushed for time, but got APU on, hydraulics on, IRS is aligning now, and still a steady 75FPS. Will do some more testing later and report back.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Yeh, I really only fly the IXEG or the SF260. IXEG is 90% Orbx, UK2000, Aerosoft airports. Keep a steady 30-35fps. Day time I run non HDR with 16x AA and number of objects one less than max. At night, I run HDR, 4x AA (8x can get FPS lower than 25), as I need the HDR lighting and at night the jaggies 4x makes are not noticable. The EGNS problem is 2 problem, one is the FPS pulsing, but the game is speeding up and slowing down, from maybe 10x speed to 1/4 speed in sync with the FPS pulsing. I really don't think it's the scenery taxing my system. I have 75FPS here in the IXEG with pulses, with other aircraft it's also 75FPS stable. Jump to Orbx Leeds or London City and can have 30 FPS, but stable. I already tried cold and dark but from turning off the aircraft from turn around, will go and try from complete cold and dark status now. Cheers Iain

Ok, well with Gizmo installed and in any other aircraft it works fine, 75fps. With IXEG 737 without Gizmo installed, it works fine (aircraft not usable though) With Gizmo and IXEG it pulses. 75-15 FPS External view it pulses when with one wingspan from the aircraft it pulses, move slightly further away and it’s stable at 75 FPS. Sorry if this isn’t the question you had, but it seems to be a combo of both.

Beta makes no change, same problem...but I just tried again, set number of world objects to minimal, and the FPS are stable at 75fps. Set to low, and FPS are 75, but pulse down to 15 again every 3 seconds. So it looks like Gizmo is conflicting with an object used by the airport??

Yeh I had the Beta, and swapped it for the stable to see if it worked, will put Beta back on and see.

Have you tried different locations, I only have this problem at one addon airport, EGNS

Sorry don't have the Saab.

All plugins removed apart from Gizmo, same problem. Remove Gizmo and FPS are good. I asked Boundless for some support, maybe they have an idea on something they do "different" from other scenery creators.

So a quick test again. Default EGNS with IXEG, no problem Payware EGNS with IXEG, FPS pulsing 75-15 every 2 seconds. Remove the Gizmo plugin completely and tried again and now no FPS problem. Payware EGNS with any other aircraft, no problem I can not see any plugin installed by Boundless, but will remove to confirm. Log file attached, I had a look through it and can't see anything. Log.txt

Hey Jan, will test this shortly and post results within an hour.

Does it look like this Exactly my problem, 75fps to 5fps to 75fps. Never seen anything like this, but only happening at EGNS payware airport. Really strange. Any other aircraft is fine, or take the IXEG to any other airport and it's fine!

Hi Jan and team. I just posted the below comment on the Boundless forum. Really strange problem with I landed at EGNS yesterday, and trying it again today, I have the same problem. Only at EGNS, and only with the IXEG. Nothing changed in my sim apart from the new Gizmo Beta, and the new EGNS that I bought. I tried Gizmo Beta and standard but no change. It looks like a conflict rather than a scenery problem as any other aircraft works fine. Landing was interesting, sim plays at 0.25 speed for 3 secs, then 10x speed for 3 secs, and repeats! Then started from about 2nm from threshold of of runway. I recorded my flight as usual. You can see the problem here, it got worse though, I stopped recording as I thought maybe the recording was causing a problem https://youtu.be/UHxTxeokJBY Hey all I bought this airport and flew there last night in the IXEG 737. On finals, my sim started to have major FPS problems, it started pulsing, 60FPS to 20FPS to 60FPS and continued to landing and to parking. The sim was like slow mo...then went into fast motion and then slow again, every 3-4 seconds. I tried the return flight today, but can see my FPS counter is pulsing again, 60 to 17FPS every few seconds. I spent 10 mins testing with the following results. - Default EGNS with IXEG, not FPS problem - Boundless EGNS with any aircraft other than IXEG, no FPS problem - IXEG at any airport other than Boundless EGNS, no FPS problem. So there seems to be a conflict between these two products. If I go to external view of IXEG I get the same FPS pulse, but only when within about 30m of the aircraft. If I move the camera away further, the FPS returns to normal. Any idea's what this could be?

I just had 3 go arounds at Dublin (winds), and thought on the first one I got 53%! Then used manual throttle to give me an estimated power. I recording it, and will watch the video's back and see if I can see what I did wrong. Although after I watched Tom's approach, I see he had the AT in arm, I flew this approach with it off, I'm not familiar with the way Tom uses the AT? On a "similar" subject Jan. My first approach I had about 3200kg of fuel, I normally land with about 3000-4000kg. -What amount of fuel would YOU declare as a fuel emergency? - Is this a fixed amount by the FAA or varies company to company? - Is the call to ATC a "Fuel emergency, ie declaring an emergency, or can a PAN PAN PAN be called". - I was considering a diversion to Belfast where it was calm winds. But is there a rule (FAA or SOP) that states after so many go-arounds, you must divert? I landed on the 4th attempt, with 2100kg. Got it all recorded and will edit it one evening for your entertainment..at the expense of my lack of go-around practice.

Well, I was flying ASL Stansted to Dublin yesterday, wind shear etc, had either 3 go arounds! Think I recorded them, so might put a video together to show off my lack of go-around skills ( I need to read up on the exact procedure), but I was able to repeat this digit jumping with the MCP, only happens on finals, it really doesn't seem to be related to the underspeed limits, but it's definitely nothing to bother about. Will try and post a video and can also show this small "bug" and see what you think. Any links to the correct way to do a go-around in the IXEG?

Ok, good points, let me check again this evening or tomorrow and will send some feedback.

Hey all I have a strange bug that I was sort of aware of recently but done some testing last night on my flight of rubber ducks with a DHL 733 Cargo from Leipzig to East Midlands. When changing speed in the MCP, let's say we are at 200 and dialing back to 190 shortly before GS intercept, I want to change to 190, I drag or scroll, digit by digit from 200 to 190, but every time I get to around 193, with 3 more clicks to go, the speed jumps to 183 on the next click, I then need to increase it back to 190. Happens every time, with scroll or drag. 180 to 170, jumps to 163, 160 jumps to 145 then scroll back up to 150. I have it on video, can post it this evening if it helps explain it. I'm pretty sure it's not my mouse, as all other MCP functions work digit by digit. Can't confirm if it also does this at higher speeds, but can test that later. Cheers

Yeh, I just did an illegal takeoff from EDDF on the northern runway, 25R I think, the taxi over the autobahn with Aerosoft EDDF is great! But I read a takeoff from there is VERY rare, but I was getting glideslope warnings on climb out for the ILS I used for landing, which was 25L, wasn't even close to it, not seen that before?

Hi Jan Throttles are no big deal, can easily live with that. The weight problem is only on the second flight, I can’t produce this before the first flight. I’m sure I have done a few legs in one sim session pre patch and can’t remember seeing this issue. Will try a Gizmo reboot and see. No big deal either but maybe something to add as a possible bug for a future patch. and thanks for the compliment, I’m sure you have landed in EDDF at some point in your career?

Here you go Jan. 00:00- 01:00 the throttle topic 03:00-04:00 landing 05:50 FMC setup for return, ZFW/GW https://youtu.be/OsNUio03e5Y

Hi Jan, here is some feedback on some of the points I brought up. - ZFW/GW, I managed to reproduce this problem. For my flight tonight, EGNX to EDDF, West Atlantic, I had 17 tonnes of cargo and 7 tonnes of fuel. ZFW was 50.3, GW was correct in the FMC at 57.3, I flew the route, landed, taxi to the cargo ramp and shutdown to a turnaround state. Fuel remaining was 3.3, GW was showing as 54.3, I expected 53.6 but this is just a small error for whatever reason. I then open ground services, fuel to 7.0 for the return leg, make ZFW 51.3 (cargo load of 18, (I'm using 33.3 as empty weight)), and click instant. I now have 7.0 showing total in the fuel gauges. I go to init ref, put in 51.3 in ZFW, and GW changes to 55.3 in the FMC, the ground services box is showing 58.3 as it should be.To solve this, I go to preflight, turnaround, apply, then put the ZFW into the FMC as 51.3, and GW in FMC now shows correctly at 58.3. So it seems the FMC is making a miss calculation after refueling, but only after a flight is completed (since I tried to refuel before the flights and tried various fuel loads etc but it always worked). - I still have the throttle issue, when descending with AT on and idle thrust to try and loose speed, my flight idle is around 28. But the N1 is definitely influenced by my throttle position, the ghost throttles are at idle, if I leave my throttle forward I have about 31. This also happens if I'm cruising with 60 N1, if I move my throttle forward it increases to 62, if I move it less, it drops to 58, even though the throttle isn't moving. I can post a video later on this. I don't have any plugins, just a standard CH pro throttle with no CH software running. - ILS, I see these frequency being used for departure SID at many places, EGNX RW 27, EGPH 06 etc. I have a feeling putting it into Nav 2 instead of 1, gives the DME you need, but without the glideslope warning, needs more testing though. - Vr pitch up, so this time I got the Vr and gave full back deflection, nose came up gently and a bit slow but was not a problem. Really hard to tail strike, so that's a bonus, just seems quite different to before efm box being ticked, but more testing on this, I think I will probably prefer it. Can also post a video. Tonights flight was one of my most enjoyable, RW 27 at EGNX, 18kt cross wind, the aircraft is very controllable, no need for max rudder, needs left stick to keep the wing level though, on rotation the nose weather cocks to the left and you feel the crab....just amazing! Same with the landing, have to work to hit the spot, will post my landing later once I do a small edit to shorten it. Video will be online in 20 mins or so. Cheers Iain

I think that flight was maybe my first with the flight model enabled, I usually pull near full stick to get the nose moving then it requires very little back stick to get it to continue to pitch, then another pull to get it through the dead zone just at liftoff, will try again soon, not enough time to try it tonight.

Thanks for the prompt feedback soon, will try and get some time on it tonight and give you some more feedback.
