TDS GTNXi Performance Improvements

[imadch]

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:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...01afe13b26

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:

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

We want to stand by our product and assist you in getting it running correctly, so please let us know how this bug fix works. Do not worry, we will get it solved, we always do!

in Windows 11, it is out of the question to disable GPU hardware scheduling. You cannot use DLSS3. I guess this idea is many years old and it is still recommended without any bases like the others about firewalls...
