Add-ons

Postby lilley91 » Sun Sep 24, 2006 10:11 am

ok

i have close to if not more the 1000 add-ons now :-X
mixture of aircraft and sceneries. I use almost all of the sceneries from time to time, and all but 10 of the aircraft i use, but some very infrequently

i was just wondering if having this number of add-ons will slow down my sim at all, performance and FPS wise?
i know it take a hell of a lot longer to load from desktop, but im not sure about when actlauuy in the sim.

thanks for any help

If all your scenerys were side by side then yes it would. The sim only uses the scenerys in visual distance and only the aircraft your flying (and any AI in visual range). Therefor no, it won't make a differance.
Note: Lots of AI can make a differance, not as much if they're framerate freindly. Also, some aircraft macros can really drage the fps's down.
