With my Water Effects set to MID, I also get around 8 to 9 FPS, however when they are reduced to LOW the frame rate doubles (in my case) to about 15, which still produces good looking water and it no longer a slide show.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/159941.jpg

Yeah. But you still don't have as much autogens as I do.

I think he meant third party complex aircrafts. :=)

Thats true, I don't have as much autogen as you...

Those last shots of NYC have no clouds, no aircraft or panel in view and your terrain is blurry. It also looks like you have some zoom in those shots. If you zoom out to a normal viewing level of about .6-1.0 it changes the frame rates fairly significantly. Zoomed in = better frame rates than zoomed out or normal views.Hornit

waaaaaahwhatever, enjoy the hatinsad

odog - was that your nick sorry if its wrong.Thanks for posting those shots, i think they do look great and i can see why you would be very happy.Please can you tell us your machine spec and in as much detail as possible any 'tweaks' you have applied plus a bit more detail on cfg settingsthanks

see my post above, please post system specs, applied tweaks and drivers, i do like your screen shots and fps i would just like to know what to do to get them.thanks

i agree with him, there seems also less autogen, no trees ;)Regards, Gerrit

Well with low everything apart from the plane i still only get 20 out of 25, please tell me the secret or i'll start to get sceptical.Sorry but please, please how do you do it?If your from the us you've probably got that fsx only works for Americans patch. EDITRIGHT!! I've done all i can and with anything that remotely looks like your pictures i get 5 fps.So to further help the community please post your 3dmark05 and 06 scores, this will give us a clear idea of what your system is capable of compared to ours.Mine for reference are 3dmark06 5400 and 3dmark05 10400 or there abouts.if you dont wish to run these then any contemporary benchmark will do.I suspect that, either you're the lucky one and everything runs silky smooth out of the box (checked your lottery numbers), you've ripped the heart out of fsx with some major 'tweaking' or you're very good at photoshop.I'm afraid the less detail we get the more we will move to the latter way of thinking.regards

The last shots would be even better with two layers of clouds, viewed through the CRJ700 VC ;)

Are you guys talking about my screenshot?Anyway. Besides applying the patch from Matt's site. I manually reduce the custom building textures in the New York area. It didn't make that much of an improvement either, probably a third of a frame. BTW. spilok has not posted his screenshot yet.-----------------------------------------------------AMD XP 2500+ OCed to 3200+nVidia 6800GT AGP Bus1.5GB of Corsair DDR400 RAMSeagate SATA 160GB driveOnboard soundIt is a bad system for this sim.

>>For resizing and converting the .bmp screenshots you take I>>recommend using the totally free program called 'IrfanView'.>>If recommending IrfanView anyway, you could just use it to>take the screenshots, too...>Ahhh, I see what you're talking about, the 'Catpure Screenshot' function('C' on your keyboard). I've never used that function of IrfanView and I will give it a try. However, I have to wonder if it allows you to take multiple screenshots in succesion and saves all of them! FSScreen takes multiples shots and saves them all on your hard drive, then it's easy to use the 'Batch Conversion/Rename' function of IrfanView on all of those saved screenshots at once.I will give it a try and see what happens though. Thanks for pointing it out.Regards,Jim
