New way to increase FPS...

[jxeboy]

.... well atleast it did for me. I picked up my FSX copy friday at my local gamestop (deluxe edition). I had been getting around 17 FPS no matter what settings i had tried, even with everything all the way down, the max i would get was 20, but then i saw that Thermal Visualization was set to "Natural". I set this to "None" and my fps nearly went up by 20!!! Just sharing, hope it helps. my specs are

Pentium 4 3.0ghz
ATI Radeon X800GTO16
1G of ram
80g 7,200rmp hd

No doubt a sort of heat blur effect around thermals...thanks for the heads up!!

Are there any thermals in the Demo 2? I havent seen any. What settings make them look like what? I get my copy in about 2 or 3 days so Im still playing the Demo.:P

Another major FPS hog is the autogen so just keep it on NORMAL and you should be ok.
