This is a known problem from months, never solved, are there someone who cares about customers problem about that? Why after months this problem is still present? The app is unusable and now contrail whit their f50 want us to use this app in game, if someone want to help this will be a kind thing, otherwise I think I’ll cancel my subscription, I’m tired of waiting for a solution that will never come, thanks.
Hi…,
As described at Discord ,
"When you use any in-game panel or EFB application, any function within it will be forced to share resources with the simulation itself. If we fetch an image for our map, that will force the simulator to wait for a very small moment. If we fetch 10 images, it has to wait 10x as much, and so on. The same goes for the interface of the application itself. Every single operation we perform will “steal” resources from the simulation. There is no way around that, other than using our desktop/web app instead. This is what is causing the stutters when using our app. The only possible ways to “fix” this is:
- Rebuilding the Charts application from scratch using tech specifically built for the flight simulator, focusing on micro-optimizations rather than features
- Provide a “Navigraph Charts Lite” version for MSFS (basically what Microsoft has done with their flight planner)
- Optimizing the existing Charts application for smaller, incremental performance gains
- Some other way we have not yet thought of? Feel free to let us know!
Rebuilding the charts app is simply not feasible. We’d have to build every feature twice, which would slow us down a lot. And even then, we’d still have platform limitations that are simply not possible to work around without changing the simulator itself. The tech (produced by WT) is also not proven at the scale of an app like charts (they opted to go a different route themselves), so there’s no telling if it’d actually be better in the end or not. Optimizing the app is more feasible, and something we do work on regardless on all our platforms! That is the path we are currently on, and we hope it will take us in the right direction."
A potential solution to stuttering is to run Charts and Moving Maps outside the Simulator. We understand you may not be able or wish to do this.
Cheers
