Severe FPS drop and GPU underutilization when opening EFB Route Planner (introduced in SU3)

I’m gonna start using efb again tomorrow and see if stutters come back as I’ve been using the combination of no efb, unplugging console for 30 seconds. The other day after a 7 hour flight I spawned at some airport again, took off, some stutters. Did it again, more stutters. Shut down the console and unplugged for 30 seconds. Turned back on, spawned on a runway, no stutters again on take off and smooth climb. Sometimes this sim twists my mellow man

I have discovered something… normally I like flying Airbus. I have just tried the default 737 MAX and guess what… EFB did not impact performance at all, nor prior to flight, nor during flight. Don’t know if it is also related to certain aircraft, or if problems randomize from person to person… So for now I will stick to Boeing…

The EFB bug may be aircraft dependent, but it’s not just limited to the Airbus.

I can confirm it exists with the default 737, at least in career mode. Prior to SU3 I had buttery smooth performance on the Asobo 737 in career mode. Since SU3 it’s awful if I open up the EFB. Without touching the EFB things are fine.

However, when I fly the PC-12 in career mode the EFB does not seem to affect the performance. Perhaps because it’s less complicated.

In any event, SU3 did break career mode in the 737 for me. And I’m on a fairly high end system with a RTX 4090 GPU.

Hopefully they isolate and fix this bug.

Correction to my earlier post. This bug also affects the PC-12 in career mode. Had about 20 fps drop when opening EFB vs leaving it alone

Maybe try reinstalling or changing your GPU drivers, or reinstalling the aircraft.
