There is infact a very big difference.
I never bothered to write this because i know the outcome before already. "Its your setup, its your fault, its not the airport," and the end will be you send out a video where you fly in a standard plane without any addons to a scenery of yours. So i saw someone else did it... so i may as well add my things. It even went exactly how i expected, with watching at a vid where a (what is that plane even....) flies without any addons to his scenery.
This has nothing to do with how ppl fly and you know that. How long you want to continue this? I think its about time to develop addons in the mindest of one not being the only important thing out there. Dont you?
KSDF is the only ( i mean the only) airport where i can not use GSX. I have over 150 airports installed, ranging from the highest demanding ones like Flytampa CYYZ, KBOS, Kai-Tak, Flightbeam sceneries, Aerosoft sceneries, all with dynamic lighting implemented and everywhere, on each of them my GPU is loaded at top most 50% in nighttime, when GSX comes maybe 70%. I simply never max my GPU in the whole simworld. Any my simworld is very big.
Now there we have KSDF.... where it blows by 1070 completely out of the PC. Probably it would show 200% load if possible. FPS start to go down to the 15 to 25 where they usually are over 40 in the VC in a PMDG 748 or "insert others" right on the apron, middles in nighttime. It can be overcast situation in the middle of Germany South from ORBX and it still wont reach 100% load.
If you really want to tell us that its our fault if something works in every addon out there, in a given setup besides one single one then its beyond funny, sorry.
And no, this is not a problem that a single person has. Maybe watch a few streams here and there and you will see that everyone, near to, who has the current addons ppl use has this problem. I went into at least 3 myself and told them to "reset position" in GSX and everytime it fixed their low fps. And all of em told me its only here. Now i dont want to talk for others, thats why i gave my example.
There is nothing on side of ppl that they can do. I give you an example:
My sim is far from overloaded because i know about this problem and write guides for others about this. I rarly see my GPU/CPU maxed simply because i know this very fact of how bad it is to overload.
I only use 2k textures, in Sim, in clouds and everywhere i try to minimize my settings while keeping highest visuals. This works everywhere and please dont try to tell us how compley the scenery is over others. One should not forget that there are ppl out there who know about development too.
The best example is new Aerosoft EDDK. Maybe have a look at how well things can work if they are done right (performance wise). And that scenery tops every FSDT one by far, in all regards. Textures, object-amount, object-detail, lighting mechanics, groundwork and every aspect while keeping high fps all times. Its possible.
I really wish the day would come where you stop blaming ppl the way you do it for things that are on your side.
