Forgive my impatience in this matter, but are you likely to issue a hotfix for the framerate issue in advance of the formal release in the next few weeks?

Great work LM team - now that was some great cooperation to find and fix this fast!

Also wanted to call out Simbol who's been doing his darnedest to corral cats on the Avsim forums and get them to post here ;)

exactly same here 4.3 works great...4.5 10+fps loss, same config file. reverted back to 4.3 10+fps gain

My only concern is that 4.5 got through beta testing !!?

As pointed out on this thread a couple of times, if you have very good hardware and you use VSYNC + T buffering, locked at 30 FPS you might not notice this issue.

Please note that beta testers do not have all the add-on's that exist for P3D, for example I do not own ORBX Germany which is one of the areas reported that had problems, more over many 3rd party products require specific updates by their original developers in order to work with the latest version of P3D making it very difficult (almost imposible) not only for Lockheed Martin but also for any members of the beta team like myself to test P3D against 3rd party products.

However each 3rd party developer can perform test of their own products during the entire beta cycle, so in a way it is their responsibility to verify that P3D is working as expected with their own products.

No software in the world is free of bugs / problems, but the important thing to take here is how quickly and hard everyone has and continue to work to resolve the issue as soon as posible, I would like to thank one more time Rob McCarthy, Kayla and the entire LM team for their quick and professional response to this matter.

Special thanks also to Rob Ainscough for his meticulous and professional testing to help everyone, alongside with everyone at AVSIM forums, LM forums and many other social sites who has been doing their best to report and perform many tests trying to narrow down posible causes.

Kind Regards,
Simbol
