FUN FSO but Bad frame rate..

[TUK]

I really enjoyed the prep work and the opportunity to fly in frame 2. We enjoyed defending 135 in our 16 109 k4's..
13mpg was tasked to head up the defense of St. Vith (231).   
I aksed for a wirble with the best intentions.   Got a couple of kills but my frame rate was TERRIBLE.. I maxed out at 4 fps one time.   Juggs were flying backwards, and bombs were exploding without sounds.. Maybe my pc was overwhelmed at all the activity, with the gv's,  planes, and fog rolling in.  Regaurdless the allied attack on St Vith was devistating..
Did anyone else have real bad frame rates in the Big town?? TUK151...

  Yes but I bought this PC off Thomas Jefferson. I was gettin low single digits all the time.

frame rate was rock solid for me at 60+.

The reality is this, If you have a computer that is 40-60FPS for most flying conditions in AH (MA), then it might get pretty loaded down in FSO ( < 20 FPS)

If your computer is 60fps+ no matter what you find in the MA, then you will most likely be OK in almost all FSO situations.


It is difficult for us to design events to play well on the oldest system that might be out there.

I have a P4 1.6, 1 Gig of RAM, and a ATI 9800 (Please don't laugh)

I had frames rates around 15 to 20 in the GV battle at 231. I also play with all the Detail and Graphics at the lowest settings.

  what would say would be good spec for new computer to get a solid 60+ fps with good detail ? 
 mid price range on the self system.
