I understood it wasn't stable. That's why he was happy with stable 24fps. I probably misunderstood here. > Well, I'm not seeing anything like that, and neither is Vivian - we were > > talking about frames delayed to 50-60 ms which are a noticeable stutter > > when you can run with 40 fps, not about second long delays.

I tried the 777-200LR at CustomScenery "Alaska" with "Cold Sector" and visibility at default at the first 10min I had the mentioned stutters. But suddenly framerates stabilized and I noticed the less delays. So the scenery tile loading was the cause for stutters, so finally I could see your work in its all glory and got some nice screenshots. Without using the system monitor (which has an big influence on Framerates here) I have: With "Cold sector", cloud density of 0.25 I had more or less stable 37fps not throttled. Delay had been about 60-84ms. With the Cub at Terrasync TNCM I get similar framerates and delays after tile loading, no loops disabled and settimer kept. With visibility set to 50km to keep tile loading time smaller, with all settimer set to zero and with disabling the loops I get 29-30fps throttled down and a delay of 34ms. Unthrottled I get 60fps and a delay of 30-40ms at TNCM! Then again Enabling buffer loop delay increase to average 50ms and gets less stable (20-98ms) Enabling now dynamics loop delay gets worse at the first second- then stabilization. (20-41ms) Enabling effect loop delay keeps between 20-41ms The same with timing loop. Again, all this with all settimer set to 0.0. Framerates changes its values according to the number of clouds. With the mentioned scenario I got always about 50-60fps at ground. Tropical weather is unusable for me. But similar weather scenarios with Basic weather aren't better. I did not yet tried other weather scenarios. > So if you, or Vivian, or anyone else can come up with code or an idea > that actually fixes a problem, you'll see me say 'Thank you'. Sorry, but this sounds even cheaper ;-) If we already had the solution, Vivian or me had already brought it up. But you are adressed here, as you are the developer of this piece of artwork. See it like that: If I have a problem with any product and don't find the solution, you will always try to ask the producer if he might have an idea as he probably does know his product better than any other! Nethertheless, we all don't know what you already had considered. And that's why all those "cheap" suggestions coming up. Like on the Lightfield shader issue it is better when you suggest a list of ideas which can be the issue. That might be many paths of possible issues, and any of those paths has to be tried to find out which is the right one. Vivian already suggested some paths, if you think this isn't the path to the solution, it would be good to propose some other paths. > (As a side remark, I remember specifically asking here what people would > > like to see in a combined weather - so far no answers. ) Hmm... probably because when they want to have a combined weather probably an Advanced Weather which runs per default (METAR, real life weather fetch and all those nice scenarios we have in both) without explicit enabling and giving similar framerates like basic weather.
