Madape Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Very Impressed with FS2K2!" 12-12-01, 12:12z  Hi All I finally managed to spend 60 of my student pounds on this great sim, and its definitely worth it, I am extremely impressed with the new graphics, ATC etc. I am a bit dissapointed with my frame rate of 25 - 30 FPS although I am running an 800Mhz, 320 RAM, gonna have to test it out on one of my neighbours faster machines! I used to be an avid X-Plane fan, although that seems to have changed! Sam Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Sam - I run an Athlon 1.4 and I have it locked at 20fps. No stutters and smooth flights. I ran it at 50+ and saw no real change in flight mode but the scenery suffers as FS2K2 tries to maintain the frame rate. 18-20 is very realistic and you should see no flickers, If you try to push the fps to max, you get a big hit in the scenery with no apparent gain in flight. There are several discussions re the locked frame rate on the other flightsim forums. HTH, Vic Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Madape Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Very Impressed with FS2K2!" 12-12-01, 18:28z  Hi Vic, Thanks for your suggestions, I've found Frame Rate to be a very personal opinion, as I play alot of 3d Shoot ups such as Unreal Tournament, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I am used to quite high frame rates 40FPS +. The thing that bugs me off is that the flight is lovely smooth, but the instruments stutter like crazy! I have to admit I like the graphics on high , its no real problem as I fly VFR mainly. Thanks again Sam Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I have to >admit I like the graphics on high , its no real problem >as I fly VFR mainly. The 747 panel stutters badly but there is a fix out there. The others I've tried seem to work fine. But, as you said, framerates are a purely subjective matter. TTYL, Vic Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

RandyHaskins Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Very Impressed with FS2K2!" 12-13-01, 03:17z  Hi Sam, I agree about the instruments stuttering now. It's almost like MS switched things around this time. Priority on flight and external graphics. With the gauges taking the hit. -Randy Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I don't have a complaint about the gauges. They just don't seem quite as smooth previous versions. Randy Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Madape Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 8. "RE: Very Impressed with FS2K2!" 12-14-01, 09:32z  Hi Randy, I just wanted to compare them to my system, it seems we have a very simialr system, exact same graphics card. Cheers Sam Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
