Well, Alex, I would say that because you fly using the 2d cockpit, you're not going to see as much of a hit from the 3d model itself, despite the fact that you use three monitors. The realityxp gauge programming is extremely efficient. It's not that I think the frame rates are bad, not at all. Just that on my system (and I have read others say the same) the baron vc is kinda taxing for what is a relatively simple aircraft, in comparison with other add ons. I can retrofit a number of Carenados, amazing looking cockpits for the most part, with aIl the realityxp gauges I want and still get significantly better frame rates, almost always in the 30-40 range at the most complex airports. So maybe it's an issue of polygon count, and Carenado do more with less, relying heavily on textures? Regardless, the Dreamfleet Baron is still a great add on. It's just that I'd rather suffer a similar fps hit for more complex systems.Shane, with that 3.0ghz dual core I wouldn't expect you to have issues with frame rates at all. Except when flying fsx :) Anyway, both the advantage and disadvantage of a baron or any light twin add on, depending on one's point of view, is that one is more likely to be able to fly it in real life, because it requires less experience and is cheaper to rent.And I love King Airs, they have so much character.

weenie---: enjoyed your posts here- way back when, I had hoped to put the Kingair in my hangar. But it never was released on CD and also has some issues that weigh against multi monitors. So my loss. It does look like a great plane however.I think now is the time to say thanks to AVSIM for the forums where we can bat around ideas and info like this.Thanks AVSIM !Alex Reid

Thanks I'm gonna try this cheap and effective solution!!Rob "Holland&Holland" de Vries http://kewlceo.com/forums/style_emoticons/...crazy_pilot.gif"To go up, pull the stick back. To go down, pull the stick back harder"
