Low landscape shading gives big increase in fps and smoothness with shadows on. Forest, grass, roads do not hit performance with these settings that much on my PC.

will try that thanks...altough, CLODs neon landscape is ugly enough even on high settings...ehhh

I guess it comes down to hardware settings per sim settings and what people define as none/ not much/ a bit or a lot, eh?

From the menu or directly in the conf.ini?

Why? Does it make any difference?

Best thing to do is to try some of the different settings (on/ off/ reduced) and find what works for you, that which gives you the result you're happiest with

Why not upload the track. I will attempt on my machine and so can others. Just list your settings so we can setup the same settings and see what we get. In their signature (hopefully) you can find their specs and perhaps you can see a pattern.

I would be interested in playing your exact track and post a vid for your review.

QMB... Free Flight - England and fly around the town just near the Radar/ radio towers there.


keep in mind that some stuttering is with hardware (over resourced VGA cards for one, which when present causes stuttering no matter what the setting and some is just low fps judder from lcd monitors... neither of which have anything to do with shadows). There is one building or something which causes stutter (just seaside of the fuel tanks, which causes a bit of stutter no matter what, when flying over but not to one side of)


Model Detail: High
Buildings Detail: Very Low
Land Detail: Low
Forest: Low
Visual Effects: Medium
Texture Quality: Original
AA: 4x
AEF: no
SSAO: no
Vsync: yes
Damage deacals: Medium
Buildings Amount: Low
Land Shading: High
Grass: no
Shadows: no
Roads: yes


Mirror - off

fly over areas with shadows and see stutter and see smooth flight when no shadows in those same areas, except for conditions listed above

Becuase had he answered conf.ini we could start a real thread going through the ntty-gridy of the conf.ini ;)

Have you noticed that there is hardly anything on conf.ini manipulation after all these months? Except for the thread adding humans on the ground, I do not remember reading anything...

:)

Haven't seen any either. Except someone mentioned VisibilityDistance or something. Tried it but didn't make any difference.

Wish someone without wife and kids could make a short manual on every row in the ini-files.
That would be sweet. U married Grathos? ;-)
