Massive FPS Drop (from 40-60 down to 15-3fps)

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

I used it to show the FPS and system utilization

Brief description of the issue:

Flying Fenix A320 into FlyTampa with FSLTL and had FPS between 40-60 during cruise. On descent it drops to 15. I closed FSLTL to see if this was the issue, but FPS did not change. It dropped to 10 on short final, and then stayed around there during taxi in. It dropped down to 3 even for a minute or two. After I finally got to the gate, I ended the flight and restarted one using the same time and at the same gate with the same aircraft, and FPS were back to 40.

I’ve been seeing this as well, though I’m just using the stock A320. Every time I approach CYEG in Edmonton the framerate tanks from 45 to 15 and then 5-10 on the runway after landing. Takeoff is fine and other airports seem fine so it’s really specific

Ok, my apologies. Thank you for moving it!

I experienced the same issue on a 3 hour flight into KPHL in a Bae146. Steady 30FPS, limited by nvidia control panel, for the entire flight until approaching Philadelphia when the FPS dropped to low 20s and then below to 15. Stopped AI Traffic ( FSLTL), which made no difference. After landing reloaded the aircraft at KPHL and frame rates returned to 30. Using the 146 I rarely fly longer than 3 hours, although I often pause in mid flight for an hour or so, and this is the first time I have had this issue since installing SU10. I’m using the latest nvidia driver and DX12 and generally I’m very satisfied with the recent performance.
