A340 frame rates -why so bad?

[Guest vonduck1]

Hi guys!After flying the A320 (PSS of course) with excellent frames in the 2d panel view, i tried the A340 and for some reason the frames are now 9 or 10!!! I have a good system (AMD4000+, 2 gig ram, XT850 etc etc) so i was wondering is there omething i am meant to do to get better frames?its a great machine to fly so any help out there?Thanks kindlyDoug

No worries, did a search and found there is no solution. Sigh

As with everything else in FS it does also depend on your system. I don't know what you have and thus whether it might perform better than my home system, but I have never found a problem with frame rates on the A340 provding I keep my graphics drivers fully up to date. But as it's not an aircraft I fly everyday (I prefer the A319) I will have another look at it and see if it does seem to cause any issues.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk

Thanks for thatthe spec of my system are listed below. I dont think its a low end one though. What do you think could be the problem?I flew last night and in the 2D panel view i get 11 - 12 FPS and in VC about 18-20. No extra weather and NO AI traffic at all.
