Not a F-16...

[Daube]

Hehe
From time to time I fly this nice little aircraft. Outstanding VC, ultra-cool external model, real HUD with real velocity vector (the one and only freeware in the whole FS history to have one)... just took some shots, wanted to share.







Enjoy

Nice shots of the AIDC F-CK-1 "Ching-kuo" fighter!

looks like a mig-16 (cross between a mig-29 and a F-16)

nice shots, where might i download this from?

That's not a Ching Kuo....it's a Mitsubishi F-2.  It's an F-16 with a big wing and a different canopy...


Great shots btw

the missiles are so colorfull....

Nice shots! Seems quite a nice aircraft also!

Thanks for the kind comments
That plane is definitely one of the best freeware addons out there. The only drawback is... a HUGE FPS hit :/

What do you mean? How much do you have with it?

[Daube]

I have something like 10 FPS less than usual.
My FPS are usually locked at 26, but when I fly this aircraft, they drop down to 17, and sometimes even to 12 only :/
I believe the gauges are responsible. It is clearly stated in the readme that the HUD and the 3D pilot are ressources-hungry.

In other terms, I have two possibilities:
- wait for a real FSX-SP2 version of that plane
- overclock my poor Q6600 to make it reach some decent speeds.
... going for the 2nd choice of course

"Poor" Q6600? I got the Core2Quad Q6600 and have o problems at all.

...but with FSX, who knows. Just have FS9 with great peformance and would like to remain on that sim though.

The Q6600 is a poor CPU:
- it's very cheap
- the core speed is very low: only 2,4 GHz.

Thuth is, if you start FSX on such a CPU, you will not get good FPS until you start overclocking it. Even with 4 cores, 2,4 GHz is too slow.

Then comes the good point: the Q6600 can be overclocked easilly up to 3 GHz and more
