Would this help with FPS

I have noticed that when over land that the wind mills turn and smoke coming out of farm house building... this is all very nice but is it really necessary? If you got rid of this animation wouldn’t this give a boost to frame rates, poor systems having to make things turn and smoke for no real reason WW2 flight sim not farm sim?

No - a windmill turning will make about 0 differance to framerate. What does make a differance is a level of shadows you have on if it has to render the shadow from the windmill moving. As for smoke they are probably just a sprite/texture its not actual particles/volumetric or anything "modern" :rolleyes:

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
