What percent commercial traffic density are you using? (on the slider in the UT2 menu) And how do you get damned those A380s to show up! Mine are never there...
Thanks, Regards
I use 100% at most airports, but not in the NY area, which I change to 70% because this area is a known frame rate hog, since there are nearby heavy airports like KLGA,KEWR,KTEB, not to mention the autogen high rises in Manhattan. In fact, during normal circumstances most of my sliders are full right for all the autogen/complexity settings, but when I fly in the NE corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, I have to downgrade the FSX settings (in addition to 70% AI) just for flying in this area to maintain a minimum of 10fps needed for a somewhat "fluid" flight in the PMDG 747 with addons like REX, GEX, all the other xxX's.
I took this screenshot with full sliders for UT2 AI just to show the density and variety of my AI at KJFK during this busy period, but I cannot fly with this much AI because I will get 8fps, not good! I suppose when I get my next CPU (which ought to o/c to 5ghz easily) later this year I can attempt to run 100% AI in NY, but I doubt that is even possible, NY really stresses even the fastest CPUs today, and I have a 4.2 ghz I7 930 and GTX-480 GPU!
UT2 has the A380 assigned to Air France, but you will need to download a paint from Avsim.com to get it to show up in the sim, and you will have to select a time when Air France flight 7 is operational from KJFK.
Bottom line, pretty screenshots are one thing, but actually flying using such settings is another thing entirely, compromises must be made in terms of graphical quality/traffic density to suit the capabilities of your PC. This post is just representative of what to expect when someone uses my edited AFCAD to achieve accurate airline parking at the gates.
