737NGX 800/900 Segmented Wing Animations

Featured Replies

Hey Guys,

 

I recently purchased the 737NGX 800/900 and I'm amazed by it! Everything is running as well as I had expected and more! However, one thing really bugs me, and that is the wing animations being so segmented. For example, when landing the aircraft, as the speed brakes deploy, the movement is almost like a "slide show" as the spoilers go up, instead of a smooth, continuous motion. This same problem is seen with aerilon movement, flap deployment and wing flex.

 

Its letting my FSX and 737 experience down a bit, as I usually average 30 - 50fps in even the most built up areas, so to see such a "lagged" effect on the aircraft looks pretty horrible compared to the rest of the sim...

 

Any advice on how to improve this?

 

Cheers,

Carl

This is kind of a known "issue"; it's just the nature of the animation method PMDG chose. There was a post a while back explaining some things.

 

Basically, it's the nature of the model - nothing we can do about it. I personally ain't too concerned with the stuff going on outside. It's more important to others I suppose.

Fly from the cockpit, therefore you will not lose sleep by looking at the wings :-)

I think there was something about a wing animation fix for SP2 after the T7
