Frame rate hit - question

[Ckeatin 0]

Hi guys,I have the NG with the update 1.2 running in FS9. Incredible job!but... I can't get acceptable frame rates unless I turn off ai traffic. I did a test where I knocked all sliders and settings all the way to the left but left AI traffic on (50% airline and GA). The frames were only about 14 in open sky and single digits (8-9) on approach. When I disabled traffic I get 14-19 on approach and much higher in open skies. The other display settings don't affect the NG performance that much.Does anyone else see this? Could it be my video card, memory? Or is it strictly CPU?specs:P4 2.4512 ramGeForce Ti 4200 64 meg Thanks for any feedback.

Turn down VC gauge quality. The VC still looks good with a lower setting but you won't get such a framerate hit.
