Hi Daube "Stephane"...

Just trying to figure out what is going on with my Frame Rates.

These two shots make no sense to me as far as Frame Rates go.

FSX and Windows 7

Real Weather in REX2 was turned OFF in Shot 1.

First Shot Using:
REX2
ORBX Scenery
FSWC...Flight Simulator Water Configurator
Aero Files Texture Booster Pro.
Frame Rates set to 30

Second Shot Using:
I paused the computer...
Closed:
REX2
FSWC...Flight Simulator Water Configurator
Frame Rate still at 30

Only one (1) point difference in the Frame Rates?

I wonder because Real Weather is on in REX2 in most shots I posted in this Forum that is where the difference is?

The difference is quite significant also, almost half the Frame Rate with Real Weather ON.

Shot #1 used REX2 but Real Weather was Turned OFF.

Comments and advice most welcome...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Hi Doug,

Sorry for the late answer, I got some problems. I cannot access the "Freeware Screenshots" section. Luckily, your topic was shown as the latest one in the right of the screen after the section's name, so I could click on it directly.

Here I see no FPS impact, which makes me think that the impact might come from the cloud textures. If the clouds have much impact, there are three possible causes:
- the clouds drawing distance is too long in the weather options
- the clouds textures are in very high resolution (try 512 if not already done)
- the Transparency AntiAliasing is not disabled in the NVidia Control Panel, double-check this.

Let me know. Perhaps it might be a good idea to take the same screen again, but with some cloudish weather theme, to see the difference.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Really ?
Then I'm lost :/
These where the only settings that could explain the FPS hit... did you test with cloudish weather like I said in my previous message ? What is the FPS impact in that case ?
