I’m limited by mainthread, and getting like 20fps less on FBW a320 than Asobo A320neo. Is there any ideas how to lessen the CPU load on fbw a320?

Is there anything I could do other than tweak ingame settings?

What are your pc specs? Did you download the 4k version or the 8k version?

Thanks for replying.
My specs are AMD ryzen 5, 3600 and GTX 1660 super + 32gb RAM.
I use the stable version of the A320!

Probably a good idea to post your graphics settings so folks can make recommendations

Thanks for answer.
TLOD = Dynamic (10-100)
OLOD = 10
TAA antialiasing
Buildings Medium
Trees Medium
Anisotropic 16X
Texture Resolution High
Off-screen terrain precaching High

  • Rolling cache off

Everything else off and low as possible!

Here are some suggestions, in-part, others to please also recommend…

Buildings, Low
Trees, Low
Texture Resolution, try Medium, maybe also Low?
Off-screen terrain precaching, Low

Rolling Cache ON, take the default value

That 1660 super is gonna struggle with only 6GB VRAM. I’d start with all your graphics settings on the lowest possible and increase the ones your care about 1 by 1 until you hit a frame rate you can live with. The FBW is a detailed plane to run

There is a stable version with 4K textures and a stable one with 8K textures. The 4K will be your best bet for performance. Check the FBW desktop app to see which you have.

Thanks! I done that and I left Trees and Buildings medium as they didnt effect my fps. Still limited by mainthread on 45fps. 50 fps would be optional :smiley:

Thanks, are you sure you are not mixing up the a380 and a320? As I see theres only stable and development versions for a320 and for a380 there is 4k stable and 8k development.

Thanks, rolling cache caused stutters. Offscreen terrain precaching low feels also that it gives little bit stutters :thinking:

Whatever works best for you, just making suggestions. FWIW, I have reduced to Low/off the graphic elements I don’t need to see for my flying and that has worked wonders for FPS, even though my PC is new. Choices, choices!

13

Thanks man. I’ll try it again! It seemed to cause stutters when moving the camera in cockpit but I check it again!

14

Now that you say that I might be. I’m at work so I’m going off memory right now.

The FBW A320 is new to me this week, so I just checked to see what I had installed. Did not see a 4k/8k option, so perhaps that is optional on the A380?

I believe you already appreciate this, but just this morning I found in an article on Flashgear, Why Is VRAM So Important In GPUs When You Play At 1440p Or 4K? the following:

“Turn off or lower settings like ray tracing, shadows, reflections, and ambient occlusion.”

I’m going to review my own graphics settings to see if I can do any better than what I have. Cheers

Only little stutters, shown in the fps graph as blue line from bottom to top. Happens sometimes randomly but is very annoying. This problem doesnt happen with any other plane so what it could be? Happens both in development and stable version.
