January 5, 201115 yr hi people. i know this has been discussed many times before. but i couldnt find a good solution and wanted to post a new topic. i have an ati 5650 with 1 gb. FSX works fine (around 25 fps) in bad weather only if i have simple clouds. as soon as i switch to detailed clouds it drops to 5-10 fps. i installed bojave's shader 3 mod and did the Automated Tweaking & Tuning tool for FSX but no results. any help ??
January 6, 201115 yr You could use one of the cloud mods out there that uses optimized cloud textures, that would likely give you a performance boost.
January 6, 201115 yr The solution is the shader 3 modification from ******* Bojote and downloaded fromavsim. I have the same card as you and clouds (and high quality water) would killthe graphics card.I now run REX 2 clouds on high quality textures and the graphics card is no longerlimiting the fps. I can also run water at 2x high setting too. It is the must haveaddon for ATI cards.Follow the instructions for installation of the modification to the letter - you mustforce a recompile of the library or the planes will appear it pieces.

What are your computer specs. I have Win 7 + AMD N950 Quad-Core Processor 2.10 ghz + 6 gb ram + ATI Radeon 5650 1 gb. One more thing i am trying this with PMDG 747. i guess it is normal. what else do you suggest.
