Installation warning and low FPS issue

[Dave Garwood]

Hi Gary,

First off, just a warning for potential users who have Kaspersky AV software.

I just upgraded to V2 for FSX. During installation, when the UK2000 installer was adding the entry in the scenery.cfg, Kaspersky AV popped up with a message about suspicious activity, then proceeded to delete the Uk2000 installer taking the scenery.cfg with it! Luckily I had a backup cfg, so no harm was done to the FSX install.

I realise this is a false detection by Kaspersky (hopefully!) and not a UK2000 problem as such, but it should serve as a warning to other users. I disabled the AV software, then installed Heathrow without problem.

When I loaded FSX and took a look around the new Heathrow, I was only getting around 6-7 FPS (I was getting mid-teens with V1). Probably the AI traffic I thought, so I set all AI sliders to zero. Still 6-7 FPS! Disabled UK2000 in the scenery library and got 30 fps (capped) with the default. Re-enabled UK2000, and turned off the "airside animation" & "active service fleet", and bingo! 30fps!

I'll have to experiment further, but it looks like there may be an issue with the animation code?

I dont have a problem with the animation code, so it not commen.

If Kaspersky is deleting your scenery.cfg, then Kaspersky has a serious problem.
