More about scenery

[olderndirt]

For some reason my scenery, in particular, the Mt Rainier highres layered over the Megascenery is barely downloading ahead of the plane - about five miles.

Maybe there is so much intelligence there, one video card can't keep up. I sometimes have the same problem. I get it in FSX when I am low to the ground and movin' fast. I don't get it so much in FS9 because FS9 is about half the size of FSX. Still, I have boatloads of add-on mesh installed. I see lagging when I cycle through the FS9 views really fast. The panel in the VC is sometimes slow to fully "paint in..."

Is your chip faster, slower or on-par with mine? Mine has four cores at 2.2 GHz. Not fast by today's standards, but pretty good for FS9. I have no idea how much on-chip cache it has. Is the on-chip cache where stuff is crunched that is needed quickly by the chip? Is on-chip cache sort of a "pre-use" holding station for ones and zeroes? What the hell do I know about this? It took me a few weeks to learn how to open Windows in two screens...

I have no tweaks running. I'm not even sure I have the 9.1 update going...

the Taskmaster affinity change

What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis? What is affinity taskmaster change? Do I need to do it? How do I do it? How do you mend a broken heart? Do you know where you're going to? Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

Well I read - maybe that's my problem - if you had more than a single core CPU, it was good to spread the load.
