Overcast! !

Postby Daube » Mon Mar 21, 2016 7:25 am

Enjoying some high altitude flight over the sea... of clouds :)
With the excellent freeware Mirage III from the Restauravia team, highly recommended. The aircraft has a very nice model and virtual cockpit, very good sounds, and the flight model is quite challenging on landings.
Concerning the clouds, it shows how important a good drawing distance is. Mine is set to 90 miles if I remember correctly... This can impact performance of the simulator, unless you choose some low resolution clouds ;) Mine are only 512x512. This makes a big difference in the performance, with little to no quality loss.
Another important thing, to avoid FPS loss in heavy weather, is to ensure your "transparency antialiasing" is disabled.

Here, the most challenging thing for landing was... finding the airport :P
