Many thanks for your report. VATSIM is an online community created for enthusiasts of flight simulation and air traffic control. One of the main goals of VATSIM is to create an environment which is fun and, at the same time, an educational and realistic simulation of procedures followed by pilots and air traffic controllers everyday around the world.

Maghla jeel. Due to some key behaviours in X-Plane that differ to its competitors, it isnecessary to ensure X-Plane is correctly adjusted to maintain a stable framerateabove 20fps. XSquawkBox recommends that you target 30-35fps to ensure thatyou do not experience significant slowdowns that result in the simulator's 'timedilation' effect from being applied. 'Time dilation' causes significant issuesfor traffic separation and sequencing and is not permitted on the network.

Laminar Software maintains documentation on how to set the rendering optionscorrectly forX-Plane 10and forX-Plane 11.

In addition to Laminar's notes, we offer the following guidance:

• Read Laminar's guides and follow the steps, looking at frame times andadjusting settings as your first port of call before resorting to a graphicsdetail autoadjusting tool - getting the settings right first will generallyhelp immensely, and let the detail autoadjusting tool deal with theunexpected.
• X-Plane 11 was released in 2016 and targetted hardware contemporary for thetime. If you only have an older system, do consider using X-Plane 10 instead.
  • In the XSB team's experience, older (DDR3 memory equipped) systems havesignificant difficulties running X-Plane 11 with higher CPU-dependentsettings - even an i7-4770, once a top of the line i7 CPU, struggles inX-Plane 11 with the world object setting set to medium, but can handleX-Plane 10 easily.
• X-Plane 11 can produce highly variant frame-rates based on the scene contents- a properly tuned top-end system can produce 35-40fps on approach, and over90fps in flight. This variance can be easily demonstrated byswitching to an external camera, moving the camera clear of the aircraft, andthen pitching the view up and down through 180 degrees, watching the framerateas you do it. Tuning must be performed in areas with high complexity sceneryareas, with the camera pointed at the terrain for best results.
• Scenery, Plugins and Add-on Aircraft can all dramatically change the minimumsystem requirements.
  • In particular, whilst alpilotx's HD and UHD terrain meshes look great,they seriously increase the CPU burden for the same rendering settings dueto their autogen density.
  • XSB, and any other plugins that use xplanemp, require additional texturememory on top of what the simualtor uses by default to load aircrafttextures on the fly - high traffic situations may result in significantincreases in required texture memory. Being conservative with the texturememory slider if you know you're going to enter a high traffic event iswell advised. If your settings result in X-Plane needing more texturememory than your system has available, it will result in a severedegradation of your frame-rate.
• Do not set texture quality to the Uncompressed option (the very highestsetting) - there's absolutely no cause for it. If you're finding an add-on'stextures look poor with compressed textures enabled, you should report theissue to the add-on developer - such issues only tend to occur with assetsthat do not ship with precompressed textures as the real-time compressoris not as good as the offline tools. The same applies to CSLs that look poorwith compressed textures enabled - report such issues to the CSL author.
