A question regarding XPlane 10
I thing Austin uses number 20 to give an example. Where does it say that you won't be able to have more than 20 planes at once? From what I understood you will be able to have more than 20 with the respective demand on resources.Cheers

fsx and core2quad vs core2duo
stefanos5913 replied to stefanos5913's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcThanks for the replies guys. I'd like you to know that I decided to format my pc and do a clean install of windows 7, fsx, acceleration etc.. Now I have better performance but to be honest not what I initially expected.The only tweak I use is this one[Main]FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15By adding this line you have smoother performance but more blurries. The lower the value the smoother the flight. I thing that the default value is 0.33. If you want you can go as low as 0,05 but for me it was too blurry. Owi you are right. It seems that my gpu is now bottlenecking my system. I have some stutters but I don't know if my gpu is responsible for that. My mobo is an Albatron pxp35 ver 2. My bios didn't need upgrading (not that there is one :( ). As far as I know it is vary easy to upgrade bios in modern mobos but each manufacturer has it's one way. I am aware of that. However I thought that a deference of 0.2 GHz wouldn't matter so much. Moreover I said that with my old possessor even at stock speed (3 Ghz) performance was smoother.I guess fsx can handle better limited cpu power (which was the case with my old cpu) than limited gpu power (which is the case with q9550 for me)Cheers

fsx and core2quad vs core2duo
Hi GuysI just bought a core2quad q9550 and I get very bad performance in fsx.My system was:CPU: Core 2 duo E8400 overclocked at 3,6 GHzRAM: 4 GB of at 800 MHzGPU: Radeon HD4850OS: Vista 64bit sp2FSX AccelerationWith this setup I was getting 31 fps (locked at 31 fps)Now I upgraded my cpu to a Core 2 Quad q9550 overclocked at 3.4 GHz and with the same fsx settings I get around 15-25 fps.When my previous processor was at its stock speed (3 GHz) I still had better performance than I do now.What I did was to delete my fsx.cfg and let fsx rebuild it. Afterwards I added the following tweak on my fsx.cfg but to no avail.[JOBSCHEDULER]AffinityMask=15 Considering that a q9550 is almost 2 x core2duo E8400 and since fsx is cpu bound I thought this was the best upgrade I could make. Do you have any suggestion because I feel I through my money away.Thank you for any help

CPU upgrade help?
stefanos5913 replied to Goair-18's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcHi. You will see a deference but don't expect to run fsx with the sliders fully to the right. You need a quad core to do that smoothly. E8400's 3Ghz will allow you to have more fps for sure and with a good cooler it is easily overclocked to 3.6Ghz which will give a little something extra. Enjoy your new cpu.Cheers

More questions might come as continue flying this aircraft... ;-)Regards

How to estimate rate of descent for visual approach?
HelloThe procedure I follow in order to make a proper descent is the following.1) I divide my flight level by 3 in order to find at what distance from the airport I should start my descent. For example if you fly at 30000 ft your flight level is 300. Divided by 3 =100. So you should start descending 100 miles away from the airport.2) After that you must find your ground speed. A rough estimate is to add 2% of speed for every 1000 ft of altitude. For example if your speed indicator points at 200 knots and you fly at 30000 ft. >>> 1.6*200=320. Your ground speed is 320 knots.3) For all this to work you must maintain a 3 degree descent. This means that you must have about 500ft/min descent rate for every 100 Knots of ground speed. For the above example you should maintain 3.2*500=1600 ft/min.Be aware. If you keep a steady IAS your ground speed will decrease as you descent so you will have to recalculate your rate of descent.So as long as you know how far away you are from your destination you can make a proper descent.Hope this helps.Cheers.
