Frame Rates

[Ben Weston]

Hi guys,

I have your Bristol and Birmingham Xtreme scenery (and all the previous non-Xtreme releases) and get great frame rates. I've just bought Belfast Xtreme which looks the business but the frames aren't good on my system. On approach it's like a slide show. I'm surprised as both Bristol and Birmingham are better on frames as Xtreme versions compared to the old ones.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Is there anything I can do to get better frames with this scenery?

Haven't noticed any drop in frame rates, and it wasn't reported by any of the beta testers. Do you have default or photograpic scenery for Birmingham and Bristol? If photographic then it may be a factor that Belfast is in a default scenery region and you could have a problem due to some add-on that is used to enhance it.

Hi Norman

I'm using UT Europe so the textures for NI are the same as Birmingham and Bristol.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll reinstall and see how I get on.
I know that frames are subjective but it's weird how the others seem fine but Belfast stutters.

Thanks for your reply.

I noticed while looking to see if the update worked that there was a bit of a framerate issue although not severe it was a small stutter every few seconds while hovvering around in the chopper. I'll do a few circuits and see what it's like. My system is more than capable, but I am also using UT, so I'll let you know.

Ok - just looks like texture loading for me. Frame rates were fine after flying around on a larger area.
