Ok guys, I will do so and get back to you as soon as I have more information.

Hey guys, hope you all have a nice weekend! I wish I could report some progress, but even without using any orthophoto my FPS is getting really really bad. As soon as I stop the SMP plugin in the plugin admin they jump to normal agian.

I'll give that a go

Yea. I got ZL18 orthophoto and a few very small heliports sceneries in the area. But, this should be affected too, right?

I will try this. I have reinstalled SMP, but I haven't run the integrity check through steam while having SMP uninstalled.

Hello guys, unfortunately I don't have success yet. First of all I updated my graphics card driver and reinstalled SMP. I checked my GPU temperatur which is very stable on 68° - 70 °C. I am running my sim on 1080p. I will upload a screenshot of my X-Plane settings in the end of this post. Since I am flying helicopters, I stay away from shitty weather The problem even occurs when there is almost blue skies with just a few clouds. This is getting frustrating. One more thing I forgot to mention: IF the fps are getting low all of the sudden, they obviously stay low until I do one or both things of the two "work arounds" stated above, but only if the horizon is in sight. So if I watch down to the ground of way up into the sky, and the horizon is out of sight the FPS go to normal again.

Hey guys, I will update my graphics card driver and have a look on the GPU and CPU temperature and will report how it goes! Thanks so far

Hello everyone, I have been using SkyMAXX Pro for quiet some time now and I have a very weird problem. When I start up my X-Plane 10.5 everything is working fine for a few hours. But after some time my FPS drop from 40-50 to around 20. Now things get weird: There are a few "fixes" that make me wonder what the actual problem is. What I do is: 1) Close one or more programms that run in the background. Sometimes it is enough to close one, sometimes I have to close almost all of my programms except X-Plane. There are times where it is enough to just close Firefox, or Spotify, or Plan-G.. sometimes I need to shut down all of them. 2) The second way of getting my FPS instantly back to 40-50 is by changing the Cloud/Terrain Blend Softness in SkyMAXX. I do not even necessarily have to lower the value, I can just change it from 0 to 6. Next thing is: as soon as these problems start, they get more frequent. While it takes maybe 5 hours from first X-Plane startup to first FPS drop, it takes only about 30 minutes afterwards. I even tested it up to 8 hours, and FPS dropped a few minutes after doing one of the two fixes I mentioned above. I tested the simulator without SkyMAXX and with running several background programms for up to 8 hours as well, and there was no FPS drop. I am really really confused. :-/ System Specs are: Intel Core i7-4790K GPU @ 4 GHz 16 GB Ram Nvidia GTX 1070 I am pretty sure that my SkyMAXX settings don't matter anymore, since I have tried several options. Nontheless here is what I am currently using: Thank you for reading and I would appreciate any help!
