After playing a few hours, FPS drops from 40 to 5FPS

Ok, just to report back. I finished an 8 hours flight using the Headwind A330-900 (which I had degradation before) and now I didn’t have any issues whatsoever. No degradation nor fps oscillations.

Things that I did:

  • NDU procedure (here)
  • Change flightsimulator.exe to open as admin
  • added Flight simulation folder (where the .exe is located) + flight simulator roaming folder as scan exception on my anti virus program (which is kaspersky). Also added the .exe to be trusted on AV.
  • added fsuipc7 folder as scan exception also the .exe to be trusted.
  • disabled dev mode (no particular reason, only because I wanted to have my logbook back)

I didn’t removed any addon (I use toolbar pushback too) and externally I use Volanta + Vamsys Pegasus (which uses the fsuipc7) + Navigraph Charts + fs2crew (but in this flight I didn’t used it).

To be honest I’m not quite sure if it was something that I did, the update 9 (since this was my first flight in the new update), a mix of both, pure luck for this particular flight, or something else.

I’m going to do another long haul today and I report back.
