X-plane: The voyage of discovery begins........
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Sounds like somethings not quite right - you should have loads of fps at default settings
However, it may be a driver issue. What driver are you running?
The latest are here: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winxp-266.58-whql-driver-uk.html
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Just remembered you updated the sim from base install.
Humour me and delete your preferences: http://wiki.x-plane.com/Deleting_the_Preferences
You'll have to remap all your hardware, but this may be why you get crap fps.
Clearing preferences should be done after each update.
EHM-2381 Ted:
Drivers are correct.
I stayed up late and just flew CYCG to CYYC in the tiger-stripe PC-12 and things are looking a whole lot better ;D
Deleting the prefs seemed to get things unscrewed. I still need to dial it in a bit better as I probably have a couple things set too high still but no death fog at KSEA and other places even with dynamic weather. I did notice that for me the sim runs better in windowed mode which seems slightly odd but whatever.
Flying>tweaking!
I'll screenshot a couple items tomorrow so you can see what I have been flying.
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
A nice, helpful thread this is turning out to be, guys!
I am considering X-plane myself,
but that will have to wait until autumn, or so, due to time restrictions until then. I am secretly hoping that V10 will be out by then ;), but if not, then I'll pick up V9.x and read all about setting it up right in this thread :)
In other words: please keep asking, Ted, and thank you for taking the time to answer so thorougly, Alexander!
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Heh, I feel Ted's pain, been through it all myself so don't see why anyone else should suffer. X-plane is a great sim and it's good to see others enjoying what it has to offer. The more we solve these common issues, the easier it comes from later adopters.
Ted is spot on in that currently x-plane's strength is in the prop aircraft, but there are some great planes on the horizon, and Peter's airbus are top systems simulations.
Great to hear the preference clear out has fixed your fps. Now hopefully you can enjoy x-plane ;D
