The largest FPS impact comes from....

[Guest ALFS]

Sorry ryan..., in my experiments with FSX in order to improve FPS, the most framerate eaters are:- light bloom flag- autogen slider- water effect sliderAndreahttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Bloom kills my old PC; autogen a little less and water also if you fly aver the land!

Why would you think that I was? The point I was trying to make was that on mY sys based off my research the two biggest fps hitters are autogen and AI. On your sys based off your research it was the mesh sliders.Certainly it appears that there are interesting differences between system configs and software configs with FSX.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case
