XSquawkbox killing FPS?!

[Philippe Hewett 1008468]

Ok I have been using this for about 2 years now, latest XP 9.3 beta 12.

 

Since last night, (well since I installed the UFMC v2 rc1 because I became a tester) , whenever the first voice transmission occurs, the sim becomes completely un-usuable. Of course I thought this UFMC had done something wrong, so I tried to remove it but it didn't change anything. When I go to the plugin menu and disable XSquawkbox, framerate goes back up to normal.. if I re-enable it dies again. What is going on here?! I didn't change anything.. Now I have tried re-installing XSquawkbox, lowering rendering settings to see if the FPS would get a little better, but no!!

 

And I HAVE tried to delete the contents of the prefs folder under resources.. no difference. This is getting really frustrating.

 

And XP didn't regenerate pref files.. im not sure that is normal. However my prefs were saved... hmm

I have tried everything IMO and I NEED VATSIM!!

First thing I'd do is upgrade to X-plane 9.31. Not 9.4rc1, but 9.31.

 

Second thing would be to make sure you only have the default set of CSL's installed. That's the only place where any slowdown should be coming from. If you still experience it after that, I'd start looking elsewhere. I can [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ure you what little rendering code that exists in XSB has not changed in many years.

Hi Wade,

Thanks for your answer.

I solved this problem in late June. Here's what I had posted to the org, turns out the problem was very simple, and unrelated to XSB.

 

 

OK GUYS ITS FIXED!

You won't believe how dumb this thing is. I feel really bad for this 5 page thread.

The night before XSquawkbox died here I thought my headset broke. It seemed it was not picking up sound anymore. So I opened up XP and tried to fly online. In the SETUP AUDIO page, my input was now set back to the Delta 1010 we have here (but it is an output only -- no input!)

 

Last night, I discovered that my headset's microphone mute switch was on...!!! I thought it was a mute for the actual head-set. Now I just tried playing around with the input setting and TADA. When I set the input to my headset, fps is normal! If I set it to the input-less default Delta 1010, the fps goes to 5!

So all of that fuss because of a mute switch.
