TDS GTNXi Performance Improvements

[adminOwner2]

Hello,

The thread below includes three steps for improving TDS GTNXi performance:

Step 1:

And with the great assessment pointed by Ryan Butterworth

We have been able to find a proper solution for customers experiencing performance degradation (FPS decrease) within MSFS and the TDS GTNXi.

As this problem occurs only on some machines and we can't correlate the exact cause, we can't have a general fix, but we can point users who experience problems to this fix.

To resolve the problem, you must add an exclusion to Windows Defender for two processes:

gtn_simulator.exe and FlightSimulator.exe

As described here:

When clicking on Add Exclusion, select Process and then type the name and the extension, as shown above or in the picture posted at the end of this link.

 


Step 2:
Note: Starting with MSFS SU10, the default rendering method is NanoVG, so this step is not needed!

Enable a different drawing algorithm inside MSFS. With the Developer Mode active, access the Options Menu, then under the Experimental section, check the "Use NanoVG for XML gauges"

This should decrease the load on the Main Thread and hopefully provide a performance increase using the TDS GTNXi as a VC Integrated option.

Step 3:
Note: Starting with TDS GTNXI V1.0.2.5 and GTNXi PC Trainer V20.30.8 (mandatory!), this step is not needed!

Make sure to disable GPU Hardware Scheduling, then reboot the PC for the changes to take effect:
