AI Dropping frames by A LOT.

Whenever AI Traffic is enabled (Default in-game traffic), it causes huge FPS loss in the Scenery Editor. What happens is lots of aircraft spawn on top of each other in the middle of a runway, thus causing performance loss. It's really easy to reproduce and happens 100% of the time.

Make sure Traffic is enabled and at 100 density, open an airport project and it will happen. It can cause drops as low as 5 fps. screenshot-1.jpg

Remove anykind of AI while in Scenery Editor. Online/Offline/SimConnect

Hi,

It will be fixed for SU10, the offline air traffic is now disabled when the scenery editor is active.

Regards,
Xavier

No :/ but I'm not sure it has the same impact as the offline AI. It needs to be tested

it has - had the same issue several times already on my system. But easiest solution was just to kill the 3rd party injection tool. So if it not easy for you guys to implement a global removal of the SimConnect based AI and block any kind of reinjection there is a workaround for the user already in place. Would be just nice to be able to let the external AI run, get it removed while in scenery editor and get it back after closing it.
