i7 4770k, Geforce TITAN --- 19FPS ASN?

[328 driver 0]

Hey,

 

I have been playing around a lot with the settings in ASN...

 

When I am in the terminal areas, my frames drop as low as 19 sometimes 15.

 

With Active Sky 2012, and same texture set, I was getting upwards of 40 frames consistently considering the beast of a machine I've got.

 

What gives do you think? Any ideas as for what to set to fix this issues in Active Sky NEXT? I tried reinstalling REX textures with DXT and no improvements.

 

Kind of dissapointed in this because i love how ASN renders the clouds.

I use the default settings and get 30fps pretty much in FSX. I have GEX, UTX, AS2012 clouds and I run TrackIR.

 

You might want to reduce the cloud layers and see if that helps.

If I reduce cloud layers, what will happen to the clouds?

 

Also - what is the "enhance overcast conditions" ? how does it affect performance?

 

Thanks!

Enhance adds depth to the overcast with a slight performance hit. The clouds will not be as dense with reduced layers BUT this is a visual effect and some people don't notice it at all. Just like some will increase cloud layers and not really "see" a big difference.

 

Try some different settings - if you still have a big FPS hit, open a support ticket.

seems like definitely something amiss, ASN runs pretty much the same for me as AS2012 in terms of fps.

 

i'm mostly using default settings although i increased the cloud layers to 6 actually

 

cheers

5 cloud layers are optimum. ASN controls the cloud layer heights instead of FSX so you don't need 10 layers of clouds anymore.
