FPS drop a function of viewing angle?

[sthai]

Hello,

First off: I am having loads of fun with this work! Thanks!

There is just one thing I noticed, which is probably not only related to the CRJ, but I want to start here.

I am running XP 9.7 and the 'lite' version of the CRJ. When I go to outside view and look at this marvel from various angles, then I get good FPS all around. Only when I look dead on front of the plane or about 45 degrees (i.e. along the leading edge of the right wing), it suddenly drops to 19.0. Moving just a few (less then 10 degrees) away from this position, FPS increase by 10-20!

Did anyone else experience that? Can it be explained? Can I do anything against it?

Thanks a lot & Best regards,

sthai

Well this happens always you are looking at an area with high renderding textures. Procesing the normal maps, brights etc... Normally if this happens only a little time has to run, to let the processor manage the graphics... but if it don't go up.. then the only solution is upgrade graphic card or CPU (both comes hand in hand. Bad CPU can make a bottle neck to a good GPU).
