Hi,

 

I never noticed before but my fps goes from 24-26 daytime to 32-33 dusk and night. You would think it would be the opposite because of the lights etc.

Yeah I have more at night definitely.

 

I think it's rendering much less at night. I try to mainly fly at night because HDR is do shimmery at daytime.

Interesting. I was thinking of the most widely used phrase with fsx, that being: "Your experience may vary" LOL  Good to know. I really do like the dusk/night look. I have installed the OSMhd v2 scenery, but waiting for a reply with a question I had about the scenery ini file and if I have the order correct. So I have been fooling with XP10 off and on for the last couple of days. I had dropped it for a couple of months and planned to come back when it appeared things were improving/progressing. I am very please dwith what I am seeing since the my last visit a couple of months ago.

Interesting, on my imac, my frame rate is less at night compared to daytime.

Well, I thought I was on to something. Really strange. Why would 2 of us (so far) see an improvement in frames and you see the opposite. 

Where is the logic?

Hi,

 

I do not understand your statement.

The logic is that you have different systems, different rendering settings, different aircraft, different scenery, different OS, different area to fly in, different plugins/addons installed...

This is no base for conclusions at all.

Yep, I guess it all comes into play to some degree. I tried this on the default little jet that comes with XP10. I get a very nice increase in fps. My rendering settings, my aircraft, my scenery, the area in which I fly does not change when I move from day to night. I even went outside of the aircraft so there was no cockpit visuals which might affect the test. I think what might be helpful is someone who is familiar with the differences in what  there may be between day and night textures. Maybe the trees use a lower resolution at night, just as an example.  Higher frames at dusk/night is the complete opposite of any simulator I have ever used.

fps in fsx is a strange thing,it depends on many things what your fps is

I remember Austin once saying, "if you don't see it, X-plane doesn't draw it", so maybe there is actually less being rendered, both on the land and in the sky.

That was my logical conclusion. Reduced texture quality or something but I am not imagining it. It is happening and there is a reason why. I have last weeks recording of the "Cosmos", maybe I will find the answer there :huh:
