......it's a frame rate killer. With my system (see my signature below for the specs), I get between 6fps and 15fps. I have tons of AI traffic, but when I disabled them, I experienced a 4fps increase which while is an improvement, still isn't worth it. I thought It would jump to above 20fps by disabling traffic, so it is clear that the scenery itself is extremely intensive.I've only tried the demo and am extremely impressed. I am considering buying it if I can improve frame rates at least by just a little.Does anyone have any tips, and I mean absolutely ANY to increase frame rates?Obviously I can lower my graphics settings, but are there any other tips that could greatly help?Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Again, I'm amazed by this scenery....Regards

Doesn't anyone have a suggestion? I'm sure there are a bunch of Heathrow Pro owners here.........

Sorry,I can't help. I have nearly an identical system as yours, so I am not even tempted to try EGLL. However, I do have a few German Airports and they run wonderfully.Cheers,Henri

I use Heathrow Pro...it IS amazing, but, yep...it's a FPS killer! I run with both autogen sliders one notch down from max, and AI traffic is at 90%. I also set it to commercial aircraft only, no GA stuff....I hate getting stuck behind a line of Cessnas when I'm trying get my A320, or 757 to the head of the runway!!I also have my graphics card; a Radeon 9700np, set to 4xAA, and 8xAnisotropic Filtering, running at 1024x768x32.With those settings, my frame-rates are in the same range as yours. My CPU is an Athlon XP2600+ (333 FSB), and I have 1.5gb PC333 DDR ram.I don't think that there's much else that you can do unfortunately to boost the FPS at EGLL Pro much further, but, if you taxi slowly and smoothly, you shouldn't be affected too much. Just enjoy the eye-candy :) It does look SO 'alive' :)

If it's really bad...You could try manually resizing the textures so some of them are half size etc. (eg. 1024x1024 to 512x512 etc.). Or removing alpha channels for reflections if they're used... You might be able to do this easily with mspaint or there's a great freeware program called dtxbmp. Problem is the visual quality will suffer (especially close up to things and maybe quite a lot). I do this kind of thing with loads of stuff (mainly because my computer kinda sucks...) and it helps my fps loads...Must agree though, UK 2000 and Gary Summons have always seemed to me to be on another level when it comes to realistic scenery...Hope this might help,P.
