I haven't read these forums for months!.
Sorry if it has already been posted. I just thought it'd be worth sharing it.

Bugs like that is good to bump up time to time again, because it's good cure for ATI owners(5000 series i think) ATI cards stay at 2d speeds after that intro. So lame that is not fixed yet.

+1

In fact I am surprised and just realized no one ever reported it in the Bugtracker, gonna do it now.

Yeah, it's not even funny. It's been reported on the forum forever but still the devs have done nothing about it, should be a pretty simple fix shouldn't it? Yes, we can easily change this ourselves but what about the newcomer to the sim that haven't heard of this forum but even if they did they wouldn't know what was causing the underclocking of their graphic card. It's yet another proof that the devs knows nothing and does nothing for the game. LOL! Russian quality service at it's best.

It stays in 2d mode because we still dont have proper full screen, fly then press escape key, if you see your desktop then its not in fullscreen. Fullscreen forces 3d mode, to see your desktop (2d) flashing at you means that its flicking between 2d and 3d lots and that its REAL unhealthy for your GPU.

Really? Why?

S!

I recall the UDV feature in AMD cards locked clocks to 300MHz or so as above that UDV does not work properly. And this is for video things. Basically it could be that the video makes the card run at 300MHz but for some reason does not recognize the 3D mode coming after that. So disabling the intro movie helps you to keep full clocks.

Another trick to make clocks go up(tested ages ago with 6970HD) was to overclock your card for example with a mere 5MHz and it ran full speed. Sometimes had this phenomenon that card was running at arounf half MHz in game. OC helped with this.

I do not think we have a real full screen yet. In other games I do not have this where the desktop flashes upon starting a game, in CoD I can see the start menu button etc. briefly when the game loads.

But anyways tips for better performance with AMD cards: disable Intro.vmw and OC your card just a little bit. At least the intor thingy will help.

And i see Skype blinking right lower corner when someone is coming online when flying, so i think there is some problems in fullscreenmode.

To fix the red square loading icon, run the game in pseudo mode. This will also make switching from game to menu (in multiplayer for example) much, much faster. Particularly if you have a slower CPU.
