I use X plane with HDR. For a few flights my entire ground textures would intermittently be washed out in a white light. I noticed this in the evening and at night. After trying several things I remembered that I had recently enabled "God Rays". I disabled the rays and the problem went away. Also when I noticed the problem I was flying in an area for which I had downloaded HD textures or was in that unpronounceable dev dryze something New York. If it would help I could reenable the "God rays" and post a video. Donald

I have been going up and down for a while; especially noticing fluctuations when I look down in the cockpit. The final mistake I was making is that I had "vertical synch" enabled in Nhancer and frame rates locked in X-plane. I changed the X-plane setting to "do not lock". Now I get a rock solid 37 FPS in just about any aircraft including the BK117. The most intense aircraft I have is the Falcon 7X for 9.31; that takes me down to 25 FPS in VFR conditions. In that aircraft my frame rate improves drastically in IFR conditions- Why can't Mr. Gates do that? and I have every weather option enabled; volumetric fog, cumulus, particle clouds etc... My frames are plentiful now and they are extremely consistent throughout a flight. Donald Traill

Does everyone start out at "0" or have I benn "smitten" already? Donald Traill

I say the aircraft being subjected to the Blonde technique for safe hand-starting is a Piper Seneca. Donald Traill

What is the story of "lock frames at half monitor refresh rate"? My monitor is 75 hertz and when I select that option I routinely get frames from 40 to above 60. Donald Traill

Well that improved things a whole lot! I have been able to increase a lot of settings without frame rate loss now. Another thing I noticed is that in Nhancer; one of my global antialiasing settings did not match with my profile settings. I have corrected that. One last thing... It seems that in 9.4 final; the actual function of "lock frames at refresh rate" and "half refresh rate" seem to be reversed. Thanx!!! Donald Traill

Ummm... they didn't match when I was getting that phenomenal frame rate either. AA and such was turned off in game. I thought the whole point of Nhancer was to take the load off the app. But I will give synching them the old college try. Thanx for your efforts. Donald Traill

My desktop resolution is 1440 X 900 32 Bit and X-plane res matches. I run full screen. Donald Traill

Hello; first off my system specs... AMD 6400+ dual core processor Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard EVGA 8800GT 512 vid card 2 gigs RAM Windows XP Pro 32 bit I was struggling with 19 FPS for a while; then I went into my latest version of Nhancer and changed some settings. Even though my frame rate was locked at half my monitor refresh rate of 75; I was getting 50-80 frames a second. Then my frames tanked again. I noticed some of my Nhancer settings were different. I changed the ones I noticed back and gained frames; but I think other settings changed that I didn't notice. Right now I am getting about half the frame rate I was getting at my peak at the same airports with much reduced settings... not sure exactly what got messed up but I think it is Nhancer. I have attatched screens of my X-plane profile. Any advice? Donald

Wow, how the heck did I miss that! Thought I looked through the site for links... Whoops! Thanks, now to do some surfing! 8) Donald

First off, I have been having trouble getting to X-plane Freeware project. I first tried going through Google; then I took the addy and pasted it into the bar. I am IE latest version. I don't get an error message; several times the progress has gone to 100% but I am on the page I started from. I don't have a problem getting to any other site. On a perhaps related matter; since the aim of this site is to get around stifling by the .org, I think it would benefit all to have all the sites that cater to X-plane listed or linked. I tired Google; got to the fourth page and I hadn't even found *this* site yet. Donald Traill

Wow, off to grab your Falco!!! Donald Traill
