I checked my CPU utilization and it was almost all the time at 100%. The big downside doing that, is that I cant use any other application on my computer besided P3D because of heavy laging as P3d uses all resources in matters of CPI. More than four years ago, I made a video, in which I showed how to improve the performance in P3Dv3 during such conditions. Then the stuttering is 90% gone and the flickering is 100% history. A lot of you who use P3Dv4 with Active Sky have probably experienced the problem that when flying during sunset/sunrise with a thick overcast cloud layer, your frame rate tanks to unacceptable levels. I already tested several things (settings in P3d, affinity mask entries, dectivating Antivir) and the only thing that resolved the issue was to set a higher CPU priority to the P3d.exe. as my hardware is not the best (see below) and my VRAM is just about 3 GB of 5,5GB available. My settings are more less medium (no EA, texture max 1024, Radius settings all medium etc). I did install all addons, which i previously used in P3V4 (ORBX, Flsabs, Airport Sceneries) to go for a first test flight and it is almost unflyable despite the good fps. So far so good, unfortunately I noted directly after a vanilla installation that there were kind of stutters and cloud flickerings. With full enthusiasm I jumped from P3dV4 to P3DV5 last weekend and was very happy to see my frames doubling up from 15 to 30 fps.
