Hi Garrett,many thanks for your kind help and interest. The setting for the minimum frame rates sounds important, and perhaps thats where the problem lies. Much gratitude to all who have helped, Lusitano.

Hi Simon W I have altered the anti-aliasing back to 4, it was reading some reccomendations which made me initially reduce it; the result was terrible as you suggest. I have a suspicion that X-Plane might not be for me, frankly although my set-up is not the ultimate, it is quite good, and should be adequate, or even more than adequate to run this sim, and I am a little disappointed. My fs9 runs fine, as does Rise of Fl;ight & Black Shark. Obviously X-Plane is a v v good sim, perhaps a bit too complex? I would not like to put in print my opinion of FsX! Thanks for you interest Regards Lusitano.

Hi, I hope its here! Lusitano.

Hi Kaphias, I am getting variable results; I have got vv high frame rates, and a reasonably clear picture, but this was flying ove bare featureless terrain ( ELGC tp LFAT). Frame rates drop & vary, and the fog comes down once I get to any thing with features, ( over Paris, incredible scenery, or at LFPG) My frame rates have varied from 22 to 128!! Frankly I am not too conerned with frames rates, the motion always seems fluid and convincing, its the limted visibility and fog which is worrying; also the fact that it does not seem possible to use clouds without affecting performsnce. Surely my set-up should run this sim without so many rendering limitations. I have taken a screen shot of the rendering page. How do I get it to you? Many thanks for your inerest and help. Lusitano.

I am a refugee from FsX. My Fs9 works fine. There are many problems I am experiencing with X-Plane not all of them of major importance but my real problem is in getting a decent level of visibility. I understand the reduction in visibility if the rendering options are set too high, but I have a GTX280 video card with 1 Gig of Vram, 4Gig of ram and duo core intel 3.16 processors. My frame rates are about 45-50, and the information shown on the rendering page shows only 400 odd mb of video ram being used. A lot of the options are set at default; surely with this set-up I should not have to be flying in a fog!! I have the latest video driver onstalled. Can you help me please. Lusitano.
