I can’t say I’ve ever noticed any performance issues with any type of cloud before.
When your performance drops have you noticed the spinning activity icon in the bottom right of your screen appearing almost constantly instead of the usual occasional appearance?
I’ve just noticed this coincides with my fps dipping to single figures just for a brief 0.5 secs or so then returning to my limited 34fps. It does this once every couple of seconds once it’s started and it coincides exactly with the spinning icons appearance.
I’m not certain what’s triggering this but so far it seems as if I have to climb above 5000 feet and pass through some clouds and have been flying for more than 20 minutes.
I’ve checked in task manager and nothing seems to be spiking in time with the pauses. I’ve got rolling & manual caches off so it’s not writing or reading from the disk.
Once it starts doing this it will continue until I’m below 500 feet or so and then it clears up.
As it seems to start after passing through clouds I tried switching the weather to clear after it happens but nothing changes.
Only way to stop it after it’s started doing this is to exit to desktop
and restart.
