Hey everyone. I'm just curious on everyone's settings.

Post your display settings for FS2004 and your framerates you are getting. Also you system specs.

Cheers.

2.0ghz
512meg of RAM
geforce 5700

Every thing is one medium graphics except water(wich is on high) and scenery complexity (witch is on high)
the lighting is on defult. I get about 23fps.

I am getting a new computer that is really good so ill get like 50fps at max every thing.

cya

Ah what the hell
Intel 2ghz cellery @2.5(2 ndhand)
cheapest and lowest common denomiator at the time mother board (2nd hand)
Ati 9600XT (cost me me arms 1 leg and my last weeks wages, so now I get "you look armless hop right in at lans but hey it glows a real purty blue color :S" )
1gig ddr  (cheap 2nd hand)
clapped out 40 gig WD hd
Win2k SP4 tweaked and striped to the bear OS
DX9c
basically every thing maxed out bar 3d clouds
scenery very dense autogen very dense but terrain.cfg modded to keep numbers down
Visual distance set to 30ish from 0 to 99000ft
with 40%AI
locked to 20 fps which I get at most regonal airports(I hate citys to much smog and red tape)
Cheers

(At the bottom)

AMD athlon 2400, MB ASUS A7V8X-X, 1GB ram ddr400, Fx5700 128Mb, Creative SB live.
Simulator all maxed out, beside AI slider kept at 80%.
Framerate capped at 25, gets under that only on areas with a workload of autogen (in Seattle keeps itself in the high teen anyway), areas that I prefer to keep out of not liking big cities anyway.

P4 3.2 Ghz
1 GB DDR RAM
ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 with 64MB RAM

Everything on high graphics except autogen which is on normal and clouds which are on 100% 3d but lowest distance/density. Locked: 20fps constant (unlocked: 20-50 fps).

Pentium IV 2.0GHz, 200GB HD, 1GB RAM, FX5200 128mb PCI video card (no AGP slots!), DVD/CD writer, Firewire, Saitek X-45 HOTAS.

Tweaked the CFG and I have almost everything maxed...some of it I found useless so I don't even bother (sun glare, for example)...

Muahaha, I have the slowest computer of them all!

P700mhz
256 Megs of RAM
128 Meg Geforce FX5200

I run mine on 800x600, but at high scenery complexity, normal dynamic and autogen, high water and scenery complexity.  Everything else is medium except for clouds which are on medium high.  I can pull 15-30 fps in most cases except when the clouds get wonky and stormy

do I have to, oh all right...

Dell dim... wait a min

yay, love that.

Here we go...

P4, 2.53 Ghz
1024 MB RAM
GE Force FX 5700

In FS, everything is set to full except for weather, with 3-d cloud at 50%.

See Sig!

Specs below...

Everything, scenery, aircraft, hardware settings maxed.... ...!

Except....

(1) AI set at 5%, 'cos the constant radio chatter annoys me..!
(2) I set my own realistic weather details...!

Frame rates: 30+ FPS, locked at 25 FPS... ...!

Smoothy-smoothy... ... ...!

Cheers all...!

Paul.

...Just avoid daft cloud formations, and excess aircraft buzzing around... ... ... ...!
LOL...!

I think for this to have any meaning, we should take an average of our FPS based on the six angles viewable of the aircraft. We must all use the same location and scenery including zoom factor. Otherwise, what's the point? My specs are in my sig.

Everything is maxed except... (going from memory also)
Land detail because water is maxed
Cloud draw distance is 60
Extended textures off.
Sight distance 100.

I positioned myself 5nm east of KSEA @ 3000ft. My average FPS is 22 without Megascenery PNW and 20 without.

Hi Skit...!

My water detail is set close to Minimium, 'cos I like blue water, rather than green water...LOL...!
...and...
My "sight" distance is set between 5 miles and 10 miles. Much more realistic in real life, and the processor isn't bogged down with having to render scenery 100 miles in the far distance.... ...!
It really is quite misty "up there" most if the time..You can rarely see your airstrip until you are within 5-8 miles of it... ...!
I set my own weather and cloud effects to suit the terrain...San Francisco Bay is always misty...distance=less than 5 miles...!
...so the maxed autogen and scenery is only visible in great detail when I am almost over the top of it...!
..and runs the set-up much more smoothly, in ALL views...!
Much more fun...!
LOL...!

Paul.....early morning mist on my goggles... ... ...LOL...!

Hmm..interesting observation, Paul.  I never thought about the effect it would have by setting your "view distance" out so far.  Kills realism AND bogs you down.  I can't believe that never came to me.  lol  I'm gonna have to give it a shot now.  Thanks!
