Here some tweaks to improve framerate.

Much better yes! We still need SLI..
It give me some serious doubt on the team...

I don't think it should... From what I understand SSAO is one of those more advanced graphics options that you will want switched on when your hardware can handle it. Maybe an option to disable until then would be good, though.

I have quite good rig and I sure don't notice any difference with SSAO on or off, graphically that is, on other hand difference is huge in fps. So why would I want it enabled if it doesn't show up in anywhere? Maybe I'm missing something?

TBH I don't understand it properly but was thinking of future additions like DX11. Probably wrong though...

My findings,
I just upgrade to a Ati 6970 today 2GB. Let me tell you. It makes a massive difference coming from a Nvidia 8800GTS . I can play 1920 with high effects and high model. and everything else is medium.

I was getting about 35-42FPS sustained flight over land. 50FPS over water.

London was still a little rough.. Jittery mostly.

I loaded both of these mods.. I'm topping out at 50FPS over land Sometimes hitting 100FPS gameplay is very very smooth. London I was getting "SMOOTH" flights at about 25 FPS , ( if you can fly london smooth at 25fps everything else should be fine )

I cranked up the detail to highest , FPS dropped as expected Everything is max settings (except AA) 25-30FPS over land. 15-20 FPS london (smooth still) 50+ fps over water


Intel W3570 (Comparable to I7 3.2)
12GB ram Vengeance DDR3 1600
ATI Diamond 6970 2GB GDDR5 (890 clock - i think)

don't know where kegetys got this idea from though...

"I'd post it on the 1C forum where the devs seem to loiter, but as it seems every thread even hinting for some problems with the game are deleted, I'm not going to bother."

with the ambient occlusion gone (at with my experience in heaven - Unigine, it really starkens up the image)

Awesome mod - performance has doubled for me.

Now i'm getting 50 fps flying low over London in full screen mode.
Some stutter as things load up (textures im guessing) but then its all smooth.

From my testing SHADOWS should be turned to OFF, the performance hit is just not worth it. 100fps turned to 70fps with the only difference being the shadow setting. AA doesn't seem to provide much for the performance hit either. Some of the other settings you might as well go HIGH because the performance difference between low and high is very small while the look difference is very big. Using the same Quick mission over and over while changing 1 thing at a time let's you see the difference

they need to hire ppl from the community so this game can become playable...at least on new systems

First of all Thank You for the mod, I added the text and the dll. file but it didn't seem to improve my fps at all. I am wondering if I did not correctly add the sfs edit. Would anyone be so kind as to post a screenshot of there launcher config after they installed the Mod.
