First let me say I have ZERO regrets in purchasing OpusFSX.  I was very hesitant in purchasing because I have been a long time AS user, but I would not hesitate to recommend this product.

 

With that being said, is there any real advantage from running OpusFSX from a network vs local?  I am wondering how much FPS you really save from doing so?  I typically only run OpusFSX and maybe an ACARS/Air Hauler program opened in conjunction.

 

Other add-ons are MTX 5.4b, Accu-Feel (with turbulence off).

 

 

Thanks

There has been absolutely no measured performance loss in FSX with running OpusFSX. The program has been designed that way from the outset and has no adverse effect at all on the sim. In fact most users report a 3 to 6 FPS increase when they replace theIr other weather and camera control Addons. We have plans to introduce a client side weather engine but not on performance grounds, for other reasons, namely the future Live Weather Assistant software which will be best run on a networked client. So to answer your question there is absolutely no advantage to be gained in running the software on a separate PC.
