I just bought the Newark airport from Imaginesim.

WHAT a total framerate hog!!!!!!!

Anyone have any suggestions for improving it?

Even with AI completely off...... it is terrible. Worst payware big airport framerate hit I have ever seen.

best,

Hi John,

sorry for the late reply. I have that airport too but not installed at the moment. Let me install it and I'll get back to you.

Ok, just installed it again and indeed it's haevy on the fps. With all sliders maxed, AI on 80%, clear weather and the default C172 flying around the airport gives me 7 fps. Which is kind of slow. Don't have really fast machine and got things locked at 23 fps anyhow so I don't know how it would be on a high end computer.

I've also got their TJSJ and that works just fine (slows a bit but not as much) so it must be something with KEWR.

Crash,

Thanks for the reply. At least "misery loves company" Wink

. I'm not alone.

I am REALLY disappointed Angry

with this purchase and was hoping to salvage it. It was NOT an inexpensive addition. AND...... It is not only the airport upgrade.... but I also added Aerosoft's AES service to it...... so that seriously increases the pricetag whammy.

Should have tested the airport BEFORE activating AES at it. My bad! Roll Eyes

Anyway.... maybe when I upgrade my main machine so that I can get FS2004 running the way I want... it'll be useful.

The FSX bit will be WAY dopwn the road for me... I'm still trying to get 2004 working to the level that I want.

Still hoping someone has some suggestions for "fixes".

best,

.............john

Pepper,

Yes, I did. They really did not have any solutions for that particular airport.

HOWEVER, they demonstrated that they are very much oriented to positive customer service, so that goes a long way in my book when dealing with a company. So while I may be disappointed that I can't solve my KEWR problem at the moment (without a major computer upgrade) .... I am more than happy with their ultimate response.

Bottom line.... KEWR takes a honking heavy duty system to run ..... but Imaginesim as a company is rock solid to deal with.

best,
