Cheers.

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.

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)...
Great edit, Bob.

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
Cheers,
RB

Smoothy-smoothy... ;)... ;D...!

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.
What do computers and air conditioners have in common?Image
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

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... ::)... ;D...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!
