Actually, those are my screenshot settings.

For normal flying, I use either 1024x768x32 with Antialiasing ON, or 1152x864x32 with Antialiasing OFF, this usually gets me around 25 FPS in dense scenery.

If the weather is thick with cloud, I have to get rid of the Antialiasing or FPS goes down the drain. That's when I switch to 1152x964.

If the weather is fine with a few clouds, 1024x768 with antialiasing on gives me 25 FPS, looks fine to me, and is good enough for screenshots really.

I mainly use the above mentioned mode (in my reply above- 1152x864x32 Antialiasing On) when I want a really nice screenshot.

It's a bit of a pain having to switch resolutions depending on the scenario, but good graphics card here in Australia is over $800, so I'll put up with it 'til prices drop.

PIV 2.66Ghz @533Mhz FSB---768Mb PC2700 RAM---Seagate 120GB--- GeForce 4 Ti4200 8XAGP--- All other hardware isn't important for this problem.

Hope you can answer this question


You don't say if your using '98 or XP, if your running '98 reducing your RAM to 512 will give more performance! - '98 was'nt designed to handle more than 512MB, hence problems if you have over 512MB. Hope this helps.
