FPS Degradation on Long Flight
-
I am also having these performance issues after a longer flight. After reading the suggestions above I thought I'd just turn off the MFD by turning off the copilot avionics. And yes, the FPS goes from terrible back to pretty much perfect at an instant. Turning it back on still keeps good framerate but they just get progressively bad again.
Just thought I report this as this might help narrowing down the search for the cause, though this seems to confirm that you were already looking in the right direction. Hope this helps!
Edit:
A video to demonstrate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibnetmmZLx4The recording is limited to 30fps so the difference is not as big as I see on my secreen, but the difference is still noticeable in the video.
@Zeemon That definitely does sound promising! Without changing any other settings on your computer, could you please try the first, very easy suggestion in my post here? With such definitive results on your system, I might hopefully be able to include this in my next update this week. Thank you so much for commenting!

@Black-Square Currently 30 minutes flight time. All looking good with the preventLabelOverlap off.
Before it already started degrading at this time, so very promising indeed!
If anything changes I will report back immediately. -
Please let me know at the end of the flight! Yours is one of the most definitive cases I've had yet, without multiple conditions changing between tests!

Are you guys using traffic as well during these flights? If so that is your most likely cause of worsening performance, all traffic programs in 2020 and 2024 have the same problem

@Andydigital I am using SayIntentions traffic. This does have a (minimal) performance impact, but this is usually a bit more when on the ground and almost absent when enroute.
It's a good shout, but in this case I doubt it is the root cause.
In the meantime: flight time: 01:13 and still going strong!

@Black-Square Flight completed with a stable high framerate!

Okay, anyone who wants to test this for me, here is the first thing that I would try. It's extremely simple.
Locate
...\bksq-aircraft-starship\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\bksq-aircraft-starship\MFDmapConfig.jsonChange
preventLabelOverlaptofalse. That's it.There is a chance that you will have to drag the aircraft's layout.json on top of the MSFSLayoutGenerator afterwards, but only in MSFS 2024.
If that doesn't work...
I have already heard confirmation that removing both ND's and the MFD from each panel.cfg eliminates the problem, but it would be nice to get some additional confirmations that this is indeed where the problem lies.
To do this, you can either remove or comment out the three [VCockpit] entries in each panel.cfg (or in only one aircraft, if you're feeling confident of which is which) that include "MFD", or "ND". No renumbering in the file is required. Comments can be made by beginning each line with
//or;.After that, I'm afraid that it will take some volunteers to solve this one again. If any of you have already written to Just Flight about the waypoint deletion CTD, and also experience this problem, then let me know.
Much appreciation again. As you might imagine, these bugs that only affect some number of users, and none of my beta testers can be a real pain to track down, so I am very thankful for your willingness to help.
@Black-Square Okay, so editing the .json seems to delay the performance decrease somehow. I still land at low FPS after 2h of flying.
C-states is already on enabled so that doesn't seem to be any sort of solution for me.I'll try removong the MFD/ND entries next. For anyone looking, the corresponding panel folders (per model) are located in "Packages\Community\bksq-aircraft-starship\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-starship.

I just wanted to add that I encountered the same problem yesterday (roughly 1,5h flight, fps dropped to sub 10fps). I have no problem in other add ons. I will try your suggestion later and report back.

There is a new version of Starship released and there is a fix in the release notes mentioned.
@Dingle said in FPS Degradation on Long Flight:

Yeah, just completed the flight again with the new version and I have no performance degradation anymore.
