Go into your weather settings and turn off the cavoc 50 mile vis. lower it and I have heard many users
say their fps rates improved vastly over what they had before. There are just so may settings to play
with, just open them all up and keep testing, patience is important with X-Plane, I am going on 12 years
with it now. Still have my 5.52 disks I bought in Nov. 1999. Been sticking with ever since.

Seeing as I'm getting a whopping .6 kilabytes per second on the torrent, the title will probably be out before I get the demo frown

277 seeds, and over 1500 peers. At least the sims getting some love!


Also, regarding system specs, if it's not even using half of a dual core, then why does the xplane site list:

Quote:
However, for the best experience, we recommend the following:

a 3 GHz, multi-core CPU (or, even better, multiple processors),
4 GB of RAM, and
a DirectX 9-capable video card with 1 GB of on-board, dedicated VRAM.


1. Ok, so I guess it scales across cores. But that still doesn't explain system resource going unused.

2. How would one have a rig with multiple CPUS...?

Yeah definitely, I would say the only thing that comes to mind is maybe XPlane10 works well with your Nvidia cards and maybe not my ATI cards, it would not be the first time a game/sim had that problem and even FSX is much more friendly to Nvidia than ATI cards.

I will try some of the tweaks you mentioned to see if I can get it behaving better (thanks for posting them BTW), other than that I am just hoping someone figures out why some of us are getting really poor performance where it is obviously working well for other people based on your screenshots and videos.

X-Plane 10 blog says ATI card users should upgrade drivers right away. Then hear from many ATI
card users that they did already. Anyways, being an early alpha demo, these problems will get
ironed out eventually since the disks have not been sent out yet.
