Just Curious: Better Frames In 747 or 737?

Featured Replies

I've noticed recently that I get significantly better frames in the 747 than my 737, anyone know why? And how do your performances match up?

Normally it's the other way around because of the optimizations PMDG added (or I'm guessing "subtracted" is probably a better term) into the NGX.  The exception is when you add fixes into the FIX page in the NGX.

 

Make sure you're actually evaluating this scientifically instead of anecdotally.  Kill weather, set the aircraft in the exact same location, at the exact same time of day, and you should see the NGX with higher frames.  Passive observation during normal flying has too many different variables (scenery, weather load, different textures for various times of day, and so on).

I tried same place, aircraft in same state at at the same time and my 747 still gets about 4-5 frames better, I know I've heard in the past that the 737 is supposed to get better frames, so I'm just curious as to why this is, because if I could get it to be better then the 747 frame wise, I would be very happy ;)

The 747x has a higher top perfomance and consquently a lower bottom performance than the NGX which runs more fluid on average only.

 

That would be because the 747 isn't as fully simulated as the NGX is.

Ngx  performs heaps better  than the 747 on mine

I don't have the 747 for FSX - but if it helps, I get better frames in the NGX than LDS 763. As Kyle said, fixes in the NGX can kill your frames - but that isn't always the case. For me, I think its effect is greater with more programs running in the background.

747 in FSX always brings my system to a screeching halt. I only fly my 747 in FS9.

I actually concur with OP, I get better FPS in the 747 compared to the NGX.
