FSX performance - Terrain!

[Guest emkramer]

Terrain detail is not particularly important to me. So I turned terrain resolution to ~300m (can't remember the exact number) and complexity to 10. The sim still looks great, but now instead of 10-13 fps with scenery at 5m and no traffic, I'm at 19 locked with 1m and auto traffic. It looks significantly better than fs9, and it for all intents and purposes is just as playable.
