Please forgive me, I think everyone probably knows the answer to the question I'm about to ask but me.  

I've been playing instant combat.  I set up my scenario and begin playing.  Frame rate is aroung 40-60 fps.  Over time, after successive waves of enemy spawns, the frame rate drops to about 8-10 fps.  What gives?

I suspect the computer is tracking the ballistics of spent rounds.  The more rounds, the more processing needs be done, but these rounds gotta end sometime!  They just don't fly off indefinately!

IIRC the rounds are tracked for 1.5 seconds.  Could be a memory leak.

Gentelman you can always play around with the settings. Please tune down the sound settings as well.

Another thing you can do is buy a new sound program for your computer.

Maybe your video card is not one of the newer ones or maybe it needs new drivers.

Have you defragmented your computer lately. Perhaps you have place to many planes in your missions.

Remember you do not need to see visual message of whats been said through your radio when flying for the United States Navy.

You can always configurate your CFS2 program to play in a window 98 format if your are playing through a XP window.

Mayby you can set decreasing the visual settings for example from 5 to 3.

Visual resolution can also be manipulated. This is base on a trail and error proccess. Change it and see if you see any difference.

This are just a few Ideas to improve the performance of your PC and thus improve the quality of flying with the CFS2 program.

I hope you have enjoy my tips.

That sounds like it.  I installed an effects package with a bunch of various effects from several authors.  I don't remember which package since I'm at work, but it 's the one where you replace whole folders with those in the package.

I think I'll restore all my original effects, then just add one effect at a time rather than that comprehensive install.
