piperpilot12w Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 My frame rate stays at 19. I have the frame rate locked box unchecked in the settings. Any Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 This is not enough information. What are your system specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I had that same issue today! But not with the CRJ...It's effecting all of my files. Try rebooting and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I re-booted my PC and all is fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiengo Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 My CRJ ever flies with 19~20 fps... but i have a dual core, in other post was published that more then 2 cores do not have this problem, correct?Before a upgrade i do not have much to say.

piperpilot12w Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 It's a laptop Intel i3 M350 2.27GHz4Mg RamWindows 7 - 64 bitI followed the guide for X plane on how to lower settings to get better frame rates and it didn't make any differenceI also loaded the demo version and same thing 19 frames. It's been this way from the start, reboot makes no differenceFrame rates for the X Plane Cirrus is 40-50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 What is the video card in this laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japo32 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well.. the cirrus is not the proper aircraft to compare with. But not knowing your video card, your CPU is low speed. 2.27Ghz is not enough for this plane... and also you only have 4Mb ram. Considering that a good videocard would do a better job... but if you don't have a good one....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperpilot12w Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The video card is Intel HD GraphicsWhen I start the session and it shows the CRJ on the runway from cockpit view. It shows a dropping motion to the runway in slow motion and bounces up/down a few times until it settles. That doesn't seem right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipp Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm really surprised the CRJ loads at all.Intel integrated HD graphics are a very bad choice for X-Plane, as has been discussed many times on various forums. This has gradually improved in the past, but not to a point where I would really recommend them. The problem is that the Intel driver has a very poor implementation of the openGL standard. It does better with the Microsoft DirectX, but X-Plane and thus the CRJ of course use openGL.If you look for recommendations for X-Plane, you will almost always find the advice to use Nvidia cards on Windows, and ATI cards on Mac. These perform best for X-Plane. Intel drivers have improved a bit, but you cannot expect an integrated chipset that uses shared memory to perform as good as video card with dedicated video memory.

Cameron Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 2.27Ghz is not enough for this plane... Not really true, actually. I do have a MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz i7 that runs the CRJ at a very smooth, non-laggy 60-65 fps on extreme settings.Suffice to say, depending on the processor, 2.2 can be plenty.

simbabeat Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Exactly Cameron. A 2.2 ghz Core Duo is a hell of a lot slower than a 2.2 ghz i7.The bus speeds and the card size and all that jazz factors in.As for the preffered video cards, I've heard that Nvidia also works quite well on mac. But I have only tried an ATI and am very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
