Note: All views on the Aircraft was done internal.

Note: Because the AC on the runway have been getting the same fps, for all test. I have decided to Only Use the P51D for the 10K alt, low level flying over trees away from base, low level flight towards base, low level flying over grass lands.

Conclusion.
Graphics for my geforce 2 TI, did suffer a lot when flying over trees and grass towards fields and also at higher alts towards fields and over grass lands. Bump maping has a large part to play with frame rates for myself for the geforce 2 card. Though turning on Bump maping, I never get bellow 32 fps, when flying the P51D. This ennds the Benchmark test on flying the P51s and ac over Areas.

Yes.

Picture Of Glitch:

Description:
After selecting about 2 or even 1 ride. Then selecting another air craft from the hanger. Then spawning on the runway NE normaly, rendering issues of the skin of the air craft occure. This also happens with ground textures and building textures. Though this is when the memory and avialable memory in aces high decrease and the amout of memory used increases.

Solution to fix Glitch
Dont really know, but seems like some memory management and also other parts when alt tabing in and out of aces high, there seems to be a memory leak somewere.

I think the texture error is somehow related to which field you're at. I can get the 109 to appear fine and yet at another field it has most of it's skin missing.

The muzzle flashes appear to be the actual skin files on some of the aircraft - you can actually see a piccy of a plane!
