And put your real name, address, phone number email address and credit card number also! Whats in a name? Tell my why a name matters ? I believe in providing the least amount of private information on a public internet forum possible. You could put any name imaginable. Someone going to ask for your "Papers"? I really dont understand? Now, if Im on PMDG support page, in a private conversation with Ryan, of course I use my real name.

than if your posts get deleted than you cant complain, its their rules and if you dont wont to follow them than you will suffer the rath of the Mods

I tend to get between 17 and 24 at heavy airports and have it locked to 30. Even when it is running at 17 it is very smooth and really I came to learn that's all that matters. As long as you do not see stutters then you won't notice the frame rate.

 

Setting everything up right though is key and takes some time. I have a lot of add ons so I am surprised I get that kind of fps with all that is going on. 100% UT2 traffic, scenery, airports, ngx and much more. Neither have I overclocked my i7 2600K yet. Keep meaning to get some cooling for the job but just not got around to it.

 

There are 2 things which I do avoid however as they seem to stop the show. Road traffic. I keep it off except at add on airports as it just seems to bring my system to it's knees and well honestly it kind of looks rubbish sometimes. The other thing I notice is that if I have the water settings too high I get intermittent fps drops. I still have it quite high but it seems that if I set it so the clouds are reflected now and then for reasons I can't fathom it gets very choppy. I only found out it was the water setting causing this because I saw someone post that suggestion to someone else here and for me it was the cause. Been meaning to look deeper into this.

 

As far as the NGX goes I believe it really is FPS friendly considering what is going on and compared to many other add ons including pmdg ones.

 

Stick with it I say and these forums are the right place to be regarding suffering problems and getting help. Some good heads in here.

 

Regards

 

Which tweaks are you using? + Any scenery/airports recommendations?
