Recommended video settings for KLAX FS9
« on: October 27, 2011, 04:24:04 pm »
Greetings,
For those of us who have older video cards, I was wondering if there are some video settings you might recommend..
So if you go into the "hardware" tab in your display settings how about these settings:

-target framerate: 35
-render to texture, transform & lighting checked
-antialiasing NOT checked
-filtering: trilinear
-mip mapping quality set to 8
-hardware rendered lights set to 5
-current resolution set at 1280x1024x32 with a 19" Viewsonic monitor

then finally global max texture size set as "high" (vs. "massive"), this should bring down texture size to 512x512 and help us a bit...

I know this is a lot of tweaking but I was wondering, depending on your system specs (specially for older FS9 machines) what are your current video settings to enjoy LAX with a target of 10-15fps while panning around in spot mode

You thoughts are appreciated!
thanks, Thierry
