Smooth gauges

Featured Replies

How can i get the displays to look more smooth, even if running 30 fps the gauges are not as smooth as other add-ons running the same frame rate?

You mean the FPS of the displays are low? That can be tuned via the CDU under the Menu>Setup> Performance Tuning section.

Yes i tuned it to the max - still they are not 100% smooth looking.

They're never going to be 100% ultra smooth - it's just the nature of GDI+ (the API used to draw the gauges). Limitation of the sim and the drawing API.The other thing to realize here too is that the real thing isn't ultra smooth either - I've seen it motion and the framerate's a lot lower than you'd expect - you can see visible flicker/chop in it. Remember, these planes are running on what amount to really old CPUs by today's standards. The newer planes are probably better, but the NG was designed in the early to mid 90s - we didn't have crazy fast CPUs and GPUs then.

Any rough estimate of the refresh on the real NG?

i see with the real limitations. but actual WILCO airbus managed to make 100% smooth displays - they run at 60 fps if the rest of FSX does - even in FS9 it's silk smooth - don't know how they did it - but it's actually possible to do.

well maybe they finished this... But the rest is the biggest crap in history... Just like their Airbus vol. 1 and 2...

I'm not seeing any jerkiness. Upload a video. I'd be interested in seeing how "un-smooth" your displays are.

I see no jerkness at all, ever. I can fly to such an accurate degree with this plane...like no other!
