Does Mesh Affect FPS?

Featured Replies

Hi everyoneNever had addon mesh? If I get it will it affect my FPS?Like the freeware FSGenisis. Will it lower performence?ThanksAlexwww.fs2crew.comhttp://www.fs2crew.com/betateam.jpg

Depending on your system, it may have a small effect. But in my view the improvement from detailed mesh is worth the small performance hit. The effect is much less than that of detailed scenery objects like airports. There are exceptions of course, such as those sceneries produced by Flight Scenery.Cheers,N.

Avsim did a great review which finally got me on board: http://www.avsim.com/pages/0106/3scene/3scene.htm The review is educational and spot on in its recommendations.I purchased the LOD8 (153m mesh) for all of North America (link: http://www.fsgenesis.com/Merchant2/merchan...gory_Code=153m), and the LOD10 mesh for the Canadian Cordillera (the rockies and west) (link: http://www.fsgenesis.com/Merchant2/merchan...gory_Code=38DEM ) where I live and do my virtual flying.The difference is astounding and although I've not measured the framerate hit (if any) I've certainly not noticed any. It is certainly nothing like the hit sometimes undergone using addon scenery (airports, etc.).Actually I'm currently using FSG, UT and BEV. My rig is a P4-2600 w/ 1MB and a nVidia 6800GT, locked at 25fps. My vastly improved "terrain" does not appear to have noticeably affected my performance.Cheap too, relatively speaking.
