Temporary solution to low fps....

[Cowboy10uk]

I currently fly at 1280 Res, full screen, low Building detail, and al settings at Medium apart from Model and Damage decals which are set to high, I was still getting stutters when flying lowish Below 7000 when over land, Until I turned off Grass, No she runs sweet as anything, Not sure of my FPS, but apart from the odd stutter now and then, It looks smooth to my eye, which is all I need at end of day.

I also added the config changes by Pedro over at sim hq

- [core]
DynamicalLights=0 (default =1)
VisibilityDistance=2 (default =4)
ShadowMapSize=3 (default =5)

it does take a while to setup but once it is, The sim is stunning, Yes I do have a few graphical errors, manly some black lines heading from land out to sea and the tree shadows shimming like crazy, apart from that. Im more than happy

AMD X4 965 3.4GHZ, 4GB DDR3 Ram, 3TB Hard Disk, ATI 5850 1TB Graphics, 2 x LG 23" Widescreen HD Monitors, Buttkicker 2, TM Warthog Hotas, Saitek Pedals, Track IR And a bloody awful Pilot

Thanks for the tip. I'll try windowed mode, just got the sim last night and it's performance was appalling. Drastic measures, but it will at least get me going until features get optimized.

The manual states that using window mode will be a hit on performance, right now its the opposite for me at least!

Hope you get some good results!

How do you set it to run windowed? I right click on launcher.exe and set it to run 640 res and it reverts back to 1900x res after a few seconds , some tweaks ive been doing is improving things. Over the channel atleast.

The most elegant go-around is not to buy it, or to return it.
