Title: look at my system
Post by: BUG_EAF322 on June 27, 2004, 06:10:04 AM

Only 20 fps when i was at a gv battle near 64.

later i played il2aep it seemed all much smoother.

the graphics are not worth the 20 frames a second though.

what would it have been for people with lesser systems.

:( :rolleyes: :confused:

heck I'm lower than both of you and I get consistent 40 to 80 framerate unless alot of action going on like 15+ planes over smoking fields with lot ack smoke etc then it drops to like maybe 25 to 30...very seldom do I get near 20 if at all. that is with 256 texture  and sliders near 1/2 way thru all settings. If I increase to 512 meg textures only slight drop of framerates by 5 to 10 fps and I drop into the high teens if screen is alot of action as mentioned above. Also near same when on ground in GVs

Steady 100 above 5000' agl - dips to 80's in busy fight
lowest frame -  on the deck, massive furball, smoke everywhere high 50's to low 60's

seems you ought to get at least as good as that

Bug,

My specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (clocked at 1.7Ghz)
1GB 266Mhz DDR RAM (PC2100)
ATI Radeon 9800 XT (256MB RAM) w/ optimized
      Omega Drivers 2.5.51 (based on Catalyst 4.6 drivers)
EPOX EP=8RDA MOBO (Nvidia NForce-2 chipset)
Viewsonic 17PS monitor at 1024x768 x 100Hertz

I get widely varying framerates based on one of two settings in game. I choose MAX DETAIL and MAX DISTANCE slider positions  and Shift-F4 (ground detail view) when JABOing or GVing and framerates will be in the 20-25 area. I choose MAX PERFORMANCE and MINIMUM DISTANCE sliders when dogfighting with Shift-F3 for minimal horizon detail and I get 73FPS consistently.

While it will still take some time for HTC to get everything right on the graphics, my "mission" determination of graphics quality in-game is fairly easy to modify to get the framerate I need. After a JABO run, I change all the sliders and settings while flying to convert to A2A mode. It's not a huge task. See if that helps ?
