Hi all, first post.
Apart from doing usual googling, I would like to give my 2 cents and hopefully someone can point out why XP10 in Linux is running slower than Win7.
I'll try to be as brief as I can.
I've just updated my PC for XP10. Now rocking a
[email protected], SSD, 8GB-1600, GTX670, P8-Z77LX. With XP10 set to minimum settings and KSEA airport.
Windows 7 64bit (XP version 10.05) - Cockpit with panel was 100 fps and Linear Spot was about 130 fps.
I partitioned the SSD and installed Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. I also deleted the X-plane folder and reinstalled it within Linux (I'm new to linux and gave up on trying to find the windows installation from within the x-plane linux installer.)
Geforce driver 295 installed from the ubuntu software centre.
Ubuntu (XP version 10.10) - Cockpit about 75fps and Linear Spot about 100 fps.
I cant see using the updated version is going to make such a big difference.
Also, I am getting stuttering in Linux. I sorted core parking in windows and it ran sweet. People say they were getting a performance boost in Linux, I'm getting the opposite.
Hope someone can help boost linux performance. Otherwise this short lived love affair with Linux will be binned.
