I'm hoping someone with a similar system can give me there settings for running OFF.(no don't run off please !)
This is the system I have: Gigabyte P35-DS3L, Intel E6750 duo-core 2.66 Ghz, 2Gb ram,Nvidia 8800 GT video card with 512 memory.
I have read the FAQ's and what to set, but according to a few people I really need to tweak this to get it to run well,so I'm asking for some help.
Right now I have the settings all at 2, except for clouds and texture which are at 1.It runs ok with fps around 50-60, but near the ground it tends to stutter a bit, especially when i use rudder for some reason.All my other sims especially iRacing run great, so I would rather stick to adjustments in the sim itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I can't say it enough this is one very great sim !

Hi, Bruce. I think we talked about this; I have almost the same system as you with a 2.4ghz cpu, a bit slower, and a 320mb 8800gts, a bit slower, and 2gbs of fast RAM. OFF runs fine with slidders set to planes-5, both terrains on 3, effects and clouds on 4. My fps are 40-60 most of the time with pretty smooth action.. ocassional jerkeness, but nothing upsetting. I use TrackIR5, almost a must for OFF as it has a lousy view system.
I set all the other config settings as per the FAQ's on the OFF site OFF config settings Incidentally, when you save all the settings you do it by selecting File menu - Exit.

It sounds like somthing is wrong with your install, as you say other games are fine.. maybe reinstall and be sure you update to cFS3 3.1 if you have the older two disk set and fly it first to be sure it is working fine before installing OFF.. did you do that?

Did you recently buy the OFF DVD and did OFF run OK before you updated to BH&H Phase 3 and Hat in the Ring? Also, Do not use a no CD exe, this has been known to cause problems.

Also, in your Nvidia panel try switching the settings tab to "Let the 3d application decide"

If you still are having this problem you might want to check at that other place I mentioned.

Thanks, I did also post this at the other place you mentioned.It must just be a setting somewhere, but then again I've always seemed to have this issue with any flight sims I've tried. I don't even mind lower graphic settings as long as its smooth. As usual the more I change things things seem to get worse. I've tried it at 0 antialiasing and 8 and there seems to be no difference at all. It usually always runs at a rock solid 59 fps, but yet near the ground it seems to stutter a bit, just not sure why. I guess I'll have to play with it a bit, but I guess thats why I pretty much have stayed away from flight sims for awhile, because this is usually what happens.
But I'll stick with this one awhile because Its so good.
