Default FPS GW3 Willesmhafen in St Nazaire, Schluese, etc. .."

Hello,
Could someone explain to me why in "GW3 Willesmhafen in St Nazaire, Schluese, etc. .." starting port Kiehl, being on deck looking at 30 degrees, the FPS down between 20 and 30. Back at 40/50 FPS by turning my gaze to + or - 30 °.
This does not occur with the "Scopes".
Thank you for your attention.
Claude.

It's down to the amount of equipment that is rendered in the ports...usually if you pan 360 degrees your fps will increase but a lot depends on how good a graphics card you've got.

What are your specs? I haven't installed SH3 on this computer yet, but on my old one (GeForce FX 5200, 2.4 Ghz processor) going into just about any Axis port was asking for a lag drop, but especially Kiel and Wilhemshaven. Usually I just sat in the map room and TC'd as fast as I could out of there.

What surprises me is the way we look just at 25/35 °, the direction where there is only water, or ports, or buildings. It gets better once past the "Memorial Laboe.

Definitely sounds like a resource issue...

I'd be looking at my system setup as well as any background applications I might be able to shut down.

I tried to remove 1 or 2 sounds, nothing changes! What I understand, why only this direction is much lower FPS. An error of PRG?
Thank you.
Claude.

I return to my problem.
This is not to blame "Wilhemshafen St Naz, etc. ...".
In fact, I removed all the mod on the ports, so pure in GWX.
FPS go down as well. Leaving Kiehl, 30 °, I 20/25 FPS.
MEETS someone does this same problem?
Thank you.

Err I don't really get what you mean. When exactly do you get the lag in FPS?
Here's what I get in my game; I start out at sea, not in harbor. But the harbor is still rendered by the game, because you're still quite close to it. So whenever I look back in the general direction of the harbor, my fps also drops to about 25. That's just the graphics card working a little harder. But if you're looking away from the harbor's direction and you get the FPS-drop, than I don't know what could cause it.

Also, do you experience the same problem when you start from another harbor?

This happens at Kiel. Other ports = 35/45
Thank you for your answers.
