78.1. Tips for slow Computers

  • Dialog Options -> Map -> Details while scrolling ...: Use Normal ...

  • Dialog Options -> Simulator Aircraft -> Simulator Aircraft scroll box size ...: Use a higher value to reduce map updates.

  • Close the window Flight Plan Elevation Profile. It will stop all background processing when closed.

  • Avoid airspaces. Switch them off using the Show Airspaces button on the airspaces toolbar.

  • Switch off all AI traffic in the dialog Connect. See Options.

  • Use the map projection Mercator. It consumes less resources since it can use the downloaded image tiles as is and does not transform them to the spherical format.

Please add all steps that are necessary to reproduce the error.

Note

If you’re concerned about privacy when sending log files:

The log files contain system paths (like your Documents directory) which will also include your username as a part of the path. They might also contain your computer’s name and IP address in your network.

I would suggest you remove this information if you’re concerned about it.

In no case are file names of anything but the flight simulator or its configuration files included. No names or contents of personal files are included in the log files.

I strongly recommend sending the log files by private forum message or by email and not attach them to forum posts where they are publicly visible.

Compress all files using ZIP when sending by email.
