pomak249 1 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I've noticed a terrible drop in FPS with the Do27 as against the BeaverX - from 25+ with the Beaver to 8-10 with the Do27 - and cant find a cure! I've tried reducing the panel resolution to low 400x400 and hidden the co-pilot but nothing works? Exterior view is only around 14fps as opposed to the beaver which is 20-25fps, the VC is even worse dropping to 9-10 from 20+ with the beaver - FSX default aircraft are exceeding 30+ in all views! reducing my sliders offers no solution either.I dont have a high-ender just a 2GB, 3GHZ HT Prescott & a 7800GS but havent had a problem with any other add-ons but this!Anyone got any solutions?? I found one at Digital.de but it wasnt very helpful - something about re-loading the .cfg ??Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 571 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hello Mick,Your comparing two different aircraft here.If you check the texture folders of the different aircraft this will explain why you see the difference in Frame rates.One will be more draining than the other as one is using optimised textures and the other is using less optimised textures for FSX.

Brian W Keske 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 But the problem really lies in the fact that the Frame Rates were higher in FS9, as the 'FSX' Do is actually a ported FS9 *model*, and not a true FSX model, which wiould probably yield much better results for such a complex aircraft.Unfortunate, as it used to be one of my favorites in FS9, but I skip right past it in FSX. There are much better offerings performance-wise in 'my hanger', and I am finding myself flying FSX modeled aircraft more and more, like my Aerosoft aircraft, among others. I'm pretty sure the Twin Otter and Beaver are true FSX models, and the results show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomak249 1 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 NO Solutions then guys?Can the textures be resized?Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Keske 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yes, they are true FSX models.The Do? Last time I checked it, it wasn't. Look for a small program called 'model checker'.The Otter and Beaver are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
