PC specs for those who want to assist (if not entered in your profile)Ĥ790K (hyperthreading on/off), 1080TI, 16GB DDR3, SSD 850 EVO 500GB, 3440x1440. Head tracking with TrackIR, also noticeable with mouse panning. The current problem with flightgear/simgear is the handling and loading/unloading of 3d objects and there impact on the simulation. Whilst the video is not as smooth as what I was witnessing, it was generally unplayable when looking around.ĭetail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

In the second half of the video I use the aircraft to pan by banking sharply, to demonstrate the problem is not with TrackIR, but with the in game viewable or rendered area. Search: Hardware For Flight Simulator 2020. RAM is incredibly underutilized at 4GB, and VRAM is equally low at 5 of 11GB available. GPU usage actually drops slightly during panning, and generally remains well utilized throughout. CPU usage spikes immediately to 100% on all cores when panning around, and temperatures increase 10-15 degrees. You can see the game runs smoothly and with a decent frame rate whilst the camera is static. I have added this video to my original post also. Update 4 August 2021: I have recorded a more detailed video using Task Manager and HW Monitor (see above) to look at usage and temperatures. Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered: I have tried increasing the smoothing of TrackIR, but it has to be increased to such a degree that it becomes frustrating to comfortably use, and still doesn’t resolve the issue. It is as if there is culling of the environment beyond the view port that is not “buffered” fast enough to support head tracking (forgive my terminology). It is essentially unavoidable with normal head movement. The impact of the problem appears dependent on the speed in which the user moves their head. When using TrackIR, mouse, joystick hats, panning or tilting of the camera results in significant framerate drops and stutter in SU5, including audio stutter.
