How To Increase Frame Rates

[Guest ARanc]

I'm not sure of this but I remember hearing that if in the fs9.cfgthat if FULL_SCREEN=0 then your performance would drop.Maybe try to change it to 1.Also, what settings are you using for your Video Card?Regards,Alexhttp://www.cielosim.com/images/sig_alex.gif

Jeff, im not even going to try and figure out what is going on. There are lots of people on forums with various differing amounts of skill and knowledge. I, although am able to build fast systems, i am at a loss with the finer details of FS and do not consider myself to be in a position to give such technical advise. You need to ask yourself who`s advise should i trust. When ever i rebuild my machine, which hasn`t been for almost a year now, i contact michael, who then unifies the system to work with FS. All of my sliders are maxed! During testing, at seatle, my frame rates where in the region of 65-70fps. I now have my frame rate locked at 45fps, and i know that some people reading this would say that it should be set at unlimited. I aint gonna argue, all im gonna do is give you this link. See for yourself. http://www.fs-gs.com/David

Trans_27 Pilot Chase and others;Hello.I wanted to ask if these where suggested cfg settings in order to get the most of FS9 in relation to Frame rates ect..,. Some of the software I use with FS9 in addition to the hardware (that I hope shows up as I am thinking it will)are UT USA and CAN/AK, and GE and I should have mentioned all of Justins FSG Mesh.The reason I am asking is I am in the process of a re-install and want to be as sure as one can prior to adding changes.I thank you for your help.Mark. Well, I made a mess agian. here are my hareware specs in the event i makes a factor in the most productive cfg files for FS9.Agian Thanks Thank you.Mark.System:OS:MS Windows XP Professional, Ver 2002 Service Pack 2Hardware:Intel Pentium® 4 CPU 2.802.84 GHz, 3.00 GB of RAM Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB running a 21/19.6 Sony Flat Screen Tubed Monitorand a 17/16 NEC/Mitsubishi Tubed MonitorGeForce FX 5200 128MB running a NEC/Mitsubishi 18 Flat Panel.

EDIT: Never mind, the forum wasn't allowing the dislay of brackets...I thought his [display] section of his fs9.cfg was missing. Just didnt' post in code snip mode. Patrick ClarkAnchorage, Alaska, USAhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/1900driver.jpg
