Is SODE required?

[robains]

If I'm using standard Ctrl J default P3D V4 jetways, do I still need to enable SODE?

Reason I ask, is that SODE seems to be the source of very poor performance in any airport I have that provides the option for SODE jetways ... I'll get 50+% reduction in FPS and stutters and pulses and very long frames when SODE is enabled.

Without SODE enabled performance is excellent, very smooth.

It's not needed for anything other than jetways and winsocks.
I've only noticed a slight improvement in performance when running SODE.

Thanks for response George, interesting ... not sure why I'm seeing a 50% degradation in performance when SODE jetways are enabled ... but the issue is fairly consistent across airports, not just FT.

Cheers, Rob.

I mean a slight improvement with SODE Jetways instead of Ctrl J jetways
