It's not so simple. Yes, the impact on fps it's the number of dynamic lights (airplane+scenery+gsx vehicles) combined, but also the complexity of the scenery being lighted.

And, of course, the kind of antialiasing has a big impact on fps.

Have you tested on a default airplane and a default airport, as I've asked ? Then, if the fps will go up, you can also say "Without PMDG and Aerosoft, I have high frames".

Or, you might also test the PMDG on a different airport, because the issue with low fps when calling GSX at Aerosoft La Palm is known, happens only there, happens at day to, so it doesn't have anything to do with the new version of GSX or Dynamic Lights, see here:

So i tested it now on your Geneva Airport. This airport have no Dynamic Lightning or?

With a default aircraft on a default airport i get normal frames.

In order to affect DL performances, the airport doesn't need to have Dynamic lights. It will be worse if it has them but, as I've said in one of my previous messages, the fps loss caused by Dynamic lights depends ALSO on the detail of the scenery being lighted.

And, it's not entirely correct saying that "Geneva has no Dynamic Lightning". Even if we haven't explicitly placed DL effects, some default Effects, like those for beacons, etc., has been updated by LM to be Dynamic Lights so, even older airports will get some of them without having to be updated.

I was sure of it, so this clearly proves GSX, or its new version, is NOT the problem. It couldn't be since, as I've said (several times), the objects haven't changed since many months, when we added DL to them for the first time.

In any case, I also tested Geneva and, while there is some kind of fps impact, it's very reasonable, going from 57 to 53 fps. See the Attached screenshots, before and after calling GSX.

We haven't updated the vehicles either, since the first time we ever released vehicles with DL so, this clearly cannot be caused by the Live Updater.

It's just that you must have changed another setting, and noticed the fps decrease only after running the updater, but that was just a coincidence.

But that's not really the issue here. As you can see from my previous screenshot, taken at the same airport, the fps impact of the GSX vehicles at Geneva at night is very reasonable, and I obviously use the latest version of GSX.

Not that this would make any difference because, as I've said, NOTHING in the vehicle models has changed, and the models themselves are the only thing were DL are defined.

Also, as you said yourself:

"With a default aircraft on a default airport i get normal frames."

That's the final confirmation that update couldn't have anything to do with this. I hope you don't really believe a GSX update could have any effect of the fps loss caused by a 3rd party airplane, since you say a default airplane has normal frames.
