Slight millisecond stutter when glying sfp 1 installs.

[dsawan 624]

Hi, I noticed my sfp 1 installs stutter when flying by a millixseocnd or two, especially when panning with the mouse at certain angles. This is consistent after the October patches and not before. My WOI and WOE ones are smooth however. Did anyone have this prob and if so what to fix? My game settings are the same for all three installs. SFP 1 is the original strike fighters. Just not sure if patches had something to do with it.

SFP1 got an October Patch?

 

If true, this would be an October surprise for me.

[Lexx_Luthor 57]

I thought we had to move to THE WOV+ to use New Patch. ie...maybe your not supposed to gly Patch 2008 to THE SF. Hay I might try it on a backup copy game folder (for obvious game safety reasons).

Nossirree, there is an Oct 08 patch specifically for SF:P1.

 

Right here.

 

Amazing to pull a jet sim from 6 years ago to 2008 standards, eh?

[Lexx_Luthor 57]

haha and I totally missed it. ThankS!

 

dswan I'll have to czech this out stt st sttutter thing...how long? I dunno. Very little time for SF right now.

Stutters/Micro-pauses in any game or sim are usually caused by another application that's running in the background, and sapping processor cycles needed by the game.

Hi, don't see anything in background running as woi is smooth as silk. sfp1 stutters when panning around at certain spots.

[Lexx_Luthor 57]

Okay I got my SF patched up 2008, stutter free.

 

What spots, what angles?

For anyone suffering the quick stuttering effect i'd recommend d\l FSAutostart,its a free utility that shuts down all non game relevant programs that are constantly running (even if they are not doing anything) in the background,whilst your game/sim is on.

Originally designed for flight-sims,FSAutostart can be used for any game (i use it for the Rome TW series),makes a difference. I gain between 130-200 meg RAM when used!!

I 'sometimes' have stuttering on either one of my two PC's when playing Thirdwire sims. And IL-2 has it too. You can notice it quite well when looking a the easy radar display, as a stutter occurs approx. once every radar scan.

A few eeks ago I manually disabled each and every unnecessary service and background program, to no avial. Eventually had to confess I could not fix this... will try FSautostart though.

you may also want to look at another utility that i found great to use is FreeRam-XP,even with fsautostart,your RAM will start to be eaten away,its free,here: http://www.yourwaresolutions.com/software.html

thanks, might give that a try too, as soon as the game starts misbehaving again.

Hi, again. I am now on vaca from work so I will be testing more often. It happens when i pan say to 40 degrees or so. When i pan sideways, its smoother for some reason. Also, f10 or flyby mode shows the microstutter also. Il-2 FB I have and I dont get any stutter.

[Lexx_Luthor 57]

mmm, I have no idea about this stutter.

 

*gack* um...Your not using any of my bizarro mods are you?

[dsawan 624]

Hi, I did some more testing and it seems with the germanyCE map for woe with the new panel set by brain 32 and the height addon, there is no stutter. same goes for the deutschalnd terrain by gepard. VietnamSEA for WOV is good to with occasional stutter. is it because the scenery is low poly? Or is there something in data ini to make chg so all terrains run smooth. i tested using f10 key and especially on the runway. Or is case of too many objects in the scenery itself?
