Oh no, the dark side ....

Hi Tweek

something to do with the way the framerate needs to be in synq with the refresh rate.

especially on TFT monitors.

can't remember where i saw this but it definately helped me.

Thanks Rick, I think I went for 26 because that is the (suposedly) slowest that the human eye can not detect changes! I will play around a bit later!

There is something called verticle sync which can have a marked effect as well :think:

Don't remember the details but I guess it's all a case that if they are not optimum the system has to convert to display and slow itself up.

Nope mate, the bombs are there, mission or not... its just that you can only drop them in a mission, but regardless, I'm getting the same frames on both models (give of take 5 - 10 fps) over sea with full FEX clouds etc and limiter off, 60 - 70 fps, strangely though, I'm only getting 12 - 15 over the Mersey... :think:

Actually, having just bought Ricks Hawk in a box and played with the bomblets, not only did I have no problems with frame rates but was also able to drop them quite happily in free flight! No need for a mission at all. Even got the splash as they hit the water

Well after a weekend of actually 'enjoying' FSX (albeit with UK2000 and Horizon photoreal scenery) I think the honeymoon is over!

FSX was never going to star on my single core system but by pootling about (with a UK road atlas) from airfield to airfield in various slow forms of transport, I was quite pleased .

However, this morning, I was taking off from Southampton in the default 208B (with Auringy re-paint) when I hit the dreaded 'blurries', even the top bar menu went into a grey mush! I guess I pushed my video/processor over the limit. It now goes blurry within a few seconds of re-loading (but in years passed a re-boot used to cure this snag on a previous PC), so I popped back to FS9......it was like coming home again ;-) , smooth, detailed and with a hangar full of gems!

FSX may stay on my system, but it will not be used very much! Shame the new UK2000 will not work on FS9 though!

Trev..

You could try pulling the sliders down a bit.. especially the sea

Thanks Dave, I have the sea on 1plus, or whatever, but have been flying in land more! Still, I do not like the sea effects much anyway!

[DaveB]

Okey doh mate.. as you said you'd taken off from Southampton, I had a 50/50 on guessing which runway you took Having the sea higher than low+ used to completely cock up my FSX when I was in DG's Rapide prior to the service packs being released and sounds similar to what you're seeing now. Changing the sea back to lower than a snakes belly in a wheel rut wouldn't work immediately either.. muchos hanging around required :roll:

... lower than a snakes belly in a wheel rut ...

Where on earth do you get it from....? :think: :think:

it would appear to be accumulative time by observation
