Turning engine off causes a big FPS hit

[Glider1]

Hi there
Until now, I haven't had any problems for more than a year with the Cherokee-Accusim. Normally the frame rate is excellent for this complex aircraft.

Since the last one or two updates in April/May (not sure which exactly), as I power down the engine (pulling the choke or killing the ignition), the frame rate drops to less than five until the prop stops spinning. It doesn't occur when starting the engine or changing throttle during the flight, only the few seconds while the engine powers down and the prop is still spinning. If I turn the engine off while in flight, the frame rate drop so low I cannot control the aircraft. It also happens when the Cherokee is parked or taxing.

Thanks if you can help.
PS) Thanks for fixing the heading bug in the P51

System specs: i6700k, W10-64bit, GTX760, P3D3.2

My guess: special effect settings in graphic option. Try to turn it off...

Thanks Steven but it didn't work. Problem only happens on Cherokee 180 after last couple of patches and my P51civilian works perfect. Doesn't happen on power up only power down. I'm thinking it might have something to do with engine smoke on shutdown causing the big fps loss but am not sure.

Hello,

nothing has changed from our pov but p3d has changed a bit. Its a bit less resilient to higher effects settings as it made things look better which of course is at expense of performance on higher settings now, esp if your using external AA etc. So you will want to make sure you turn your settings down accordingly.

thanks,
Lewis
