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

Same issue. Had stuttering between June and SU5, got fixed with that patch. Seems like it came back with SU6…

Just flew for an hour from EGOV to EGLF, frames started off around 50-60 and plummeted over the course of the flight down to less than 30.

Definitely noticed since last SU that the frame rate tanking bug is back on longer flights.

Often found I had to save and then load from that position to get it to recover.

Trying to spawn into an Airport and saving then trying it to see if frames tank again.

Only problem is you lose access to the top toolbar so can’t use my pushback tool or change anything or access the camera and VFR map.

Tried to reload prior to starting the flight, as expected, lost the top menu bar but also notice that alot of lighting doesn’t work, frustrating!!! last thing you need is a frames tank when you’re under ATC and getting vectors!

This is a valid remark, as removing YourControls when not in-use certainly reduced the degradation of performance over time. Great reminder to check plugins/addons

That is a great shame as one of the main reasons to do long haul for me is to try having multicrew, relief and shift crew taking over, swapping with friends around the world.

Same here, start the flight with 60 to 70 FPS.. after an hour or so my FPS drop to 30 - 40 !!
Tried to lower my setting but with no effect!! it seems it’s a bug.

Highly doubt this is a mod related bug but related to the previous issues from prior SU5

I did notice that my friend, who did not have this issue, only started to have the same issue after I gave him YourControls last month to do a shared cockpit flight. I will give it a test to see if this could be the issue. May I ask, Do you have the performance degradation during a flight?

After I removed your controls its much better. I did a 3 hour flight yesterday with no problem and no lag on landing. Later today im going to try a 5 hour one so ill let you know. Its worth noting that overall performance has also improved for after removing your controls.

This thread now has my vote. Can someone please summarise the findings saving me from reading 600 odd replies.

TIA

Edit: this thread is very close to making it onto the top list of bugs on the development updates. Hopefully it will be on there soon.

Statement from Asobo?

FPS Drops after 45 Minutes. from 48 to 35 and will get worse. no matter what plane weather, settings and ALts.

it’s just ridiculous in the Long Haul, I fly 3h and the FPS go down, why?

oh no,this is not fun anymore,we have been to the moon and we want to go to mars soon!!! … and this SIM runs so … I can’t understand it, it’s too high for me, I’m ending my flight now, because it’s not flyable. Have fun the other pilots.

I started doing a 8 hour single session of doing hops around Canada. It was actually pretty fine for about 7 of those hours. I noticed when I was on my last leg, going from CYMO (Moonosee) - CYKF (Kitchener) my fps started to drastically drop after departure and it seemed like the longer I fly it was getting worse and worse. I can’t say this was. However I did notice that my photogametry was downloading small chunks instead of full chunks. When I got closer to the Toronto area the PG was fine but my fps stayed around 20fps. I started the session at 80 and landed at CYMO with about 60-70 after departing CYMO my fps dropped drastically for some reason. My conclusion is that removing Yourcontrols helped the degradation of performance to become delayed but it seems that now it comes sharper and a more drastic drop.

All report this as an issue in ZenDesk. This major issue is not even mentioned in last dev update. Does Asobo even knows there’s problem because of which longer flights are not even possible?

It does appear that YourControls is the culprit on my system. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be conflicting with FBW and such, it may be the mod itself entirely.

Successfully completed 15 hour flight with YourControls removed.
Separate flight performed with YourControls installed, but FBW, PMP and HDW removed. Unsuccessful and encountered perf dip at the 5 hour mark.

The author is busy until January unfortunately so it’s unlikely there’ll be a fix any time soon. This is really disappointing as I had wanted to do long haul multicrew flying.

Well it seems YourControls in not an issue in this case. I have never installed this mod but I face massive performance drops over time…

Its without any mods too..

Loosing over half my fps with a flight more than 2 hours, arrived at LPPR from EGCC with around 20fps. Quit to main menu, loaded in at LPPR same gate, time, weather, 53fps. Using FBW A320N…
