ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Whenever I pop out any instrument window (for example of the default A320 neo) my framerate drops significantly.
I have an 5800X3D and a 4090. With my settings I get between 50-60 FPS. When I pop out a window, it drops to around 18.
As soon as I close it, FPS goes back up to normal values.

Hello, I am using your application, but I am encountering an issue with the use of RTSS, which causes a freeze or significantly reduces FPS when generating pop-ups. When I don’t apply the FPS limiter, I don’t have any particular problem. However, when I use the NVidia application to limit FPS, my main thread goes to 33.3ms (58FPS), but I don’t encounter any issues.

I did read on flightsim.to that another user experienced the same problem. Furthermore, I tested without Pop-Up Manager by generating windows using ALT GR, and I encountered the same issue: when a window is generated, the FPS drops.

Here is my configuration: I9-13900K - 64GB 5600Mhz - RTX4080 - 4K Display.

I’m writing on GitHub because I’m not sure who to turn to. In any case, your application works well with the Fenix and the FBW A380X.

No Pop-Up Manager // RTSS OFF

No Pop-Up Manager // RTSS ON
02

Pop-Up Manager (4 Pop-Up) // RTSS OFF
03

Pop-Up Manager (4 Pop-Up) // RTSS ON
04

Here are the different tests I was able to perform. Has anyone, by chance, found a solution or not?

Merry Christmas!!!

Thank you for your answer. I tried disabeling RTTS and it indeed helped allthouth I had nod limited any frames in RTTS as I am aware of.

Anyway for anyone experienceing similar symptoms, this might help too.

What now persists is, that in VR any popped out displays stop working. Which is fine, when flying only VR but rather unusable in Mixed Reality setups as possible with Quest 3 or any other HMD that supports MR.
Bug Report for this already exists: POP OUT panel stop working in VR, please vote here if you have the same issue.
