Hi, can someone please tell me what the "Special Effects" in the display settings does and if it has any effects on FPS in major airports/cities. The description is very vague in FSX, and I did not know that there were fireworks in the game..
 

System Specs: ASUS P5W64 WS Professional | Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 | 2048 MB DDR2-SDRAM | NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 | 300GB SATA Hard Drive (RAID 0)| Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty | Windows XP SP2

Actually, the wing flex is considered an "advanced animation" that uses inverse kenetics [a first in the FS series] such as skin and bones. Therefore, they are not affected by the "special effects" option but rather by the "advanced animations" option. However, not all cards support this function.
