How does the FPS limiter work on W7 64bit? I have the impression that it's not working there (it displays the green framerate counter not on the FSX windows, but in the season file switcher dos box that is called for a scenery I have in my scenery.cfg)

Hi Darem,Yes, FPS Limiter works very well with Windows 7 64 bit, which is what I have. It does not typically display anything on FSX windows. I hope it improves your flights.Stephen
Over the past few days I have been running tests to see if I could adjust FSX so that I can have good performance in all areas of ORBX's PNW without having to change my settings. So after some 20 hours of testing here is what I found for MY machine. Yours may be very different.Stephen :(

Nice pictures Noel. What water texture is that? Any signs of instability problems, texture flashing or spikes?Stephen

Goodbye cruel world!I just ordered a new i7 that will be here early next week. Now I will never need to worry about anything related to performance in FSX ever again! Right?Stephen

exactly. performance isn't the greatest with an i7 unless you fly low and slow and on a winxp x64 computer. Install vista or win7 with an i7 950 and 6gb of ram like me and still be aggravated by crashing, corrupted textures, bugs, bad performance in large areas, etc. and I haven't even turned on the AI at all! Its at 0%

I use water and cloud textures from FEX. I generally like them better than REX2's. The jpeg compression fuzzed them up pretty good but it was totally wonderful. I have been to San Juan Island several time many years ago to hunt the infamous Belgian Hare. The southern point is where we found some awesome burrows. We took home maybe 20 rabbits each to eat. Pretty good stuff!Not a hit of a texture flash or spike. It's a mystery tho Stephen. If I recall, I had TBM at 60, and fiber frame time fraction at .43. Went out this morning to fly out of Seattle, and performance was really marginal with BP at 0 by comparison. Changed to 1MB, and all was better. More clouds maybe I have no idea what did that. I think the one thing that is constant in this is that nothing is constant, and one config will work well for one flight, only to find it does not hold up for a different flight. I'm holding out for something past i7. I want to leapfrog the current generation and I'm certain I can hold out till then with the performance I'm getting here.

Man, I really had to eat my beaver-pelt hat on that hockey thing, didn't I? Maybe that's why they call it a "hat trick" :( .Hey, thanks for picking up Twin Oaks, Stephen! I hope you enjoy your flights around Portland. Next up for me FTX-wise is probably Pearson Field (KVUO), but I haven't confirmed that yet. Before that though, I'm finishing up Emma Field X, which will fit nicely into Orbx's Olympic Peninsula.
Greetings from across the river. Excited to hear you might work on Pearson Field. I volunteer at Pearson Air Museum and have conducted summer aviation camps for kids there, using FS9 as the teaching tool. Any chance you'll one day do Grove Field north of Camas? I live not far from 1W1 and do my aviation summer camps there now. My pilot friends have been telling me about flying into Stark's Twin Oaks. I've never been, but I'll visit soon, virtually and in the RW. Congratulations and thank you for your great contributions to virtual aviation.
