Hi All, I got a question about a videocard on perfomance. I recently bought a Compaq Presario CQ60 to replace my old big selfbuild desktop. I chose a laptop, 'cause you can take it anywhere you want, quite usefull when you are a pilot. When I bought this laptop, I bought it as a tool for work. Not to play games on it, or X-Plane for that matter. But I decided to try X-Plane on it anyway...but the performance let be wondering about the influence of a Videocard on Performance. On my desktop I had about 60fps on medium settings (no roads, sparse trees, no buildings but Max Texture quality and all shadow options on) On my Laptop I can't get above 23 on the lowest settings. On my old Desktop I had a: Nvidia 7900GT/GTO 256mb 2gb RAM Athlon dualcore something. and my new compaq has: Nvidia 8200M G 512mb 4Gb RAM Athlon Dualcore something (higher then the desktop) The 7900 -was- a high-end videocard I believe and the 8200 a low end one. But does this have so much influence on performance, as almost all other factors have doubled in capacity? If it is normal then it is no problem, I have very little time to "fly Virtually" anyway. Cheers, Erwin P.S I'm running on linux, but that only improved performance on my desktop compared to WindowsXP

It works great! Many thanks for all the effort, much appreciated. EHBK....here I come!!! 8)

That is a very cool solution. Thank you sooo much! I see that you used your Falco in the screenshot, does that mean it works for all aircraft?

If it isn't to much work, it would be tremendously cool!

hmm, most approaches (and SIDs) in North-West of Europe (e.g The Netherlands) uses and NDB in some place or the other. My home base (EHBK) uses one as a holding fix and a line up for all the approaches, would be cool to fly that one day Being unable to do that was the only dissapointment after I purchased this otherwise amazing aircraft. (When I bought it, in February I think, I got the feeling it would be updated pretty soon....but I will keep patient )

Amazing! Can't wait to buy What's the music?

I expected it indeed, just to be sure And we all appreciate it, at least I do I will gladly pay for this awesome instrument

Looks very promesing and very cool but is it payware or freeware?| Maybe you said it somewhere, but can't find it
