New Patch 2.??

[Firefighterdan]

I get 60 fps with the demo. And that is with no browsers open.

Im most happy with it. I get a flickering 60-50 FPS (F1 view) on launch looking back at the ground and the clock moves at "second for second" pacing. With my system, I only got a reduction in performance (30fps and "slow" MET) on launch before first staging with version 1.37, So I was extremely pleased overall. I can now watch launches close up in the outside views without a framerate hit.

Looks good, I hope we get some extra i-candy as well as frame rates.

Hey Admin, just to let you know, the optimised code is running the sim over 200fps on the demo 

Did you give it steroids or alien/NASA technology?

Secret alien technology, what else!

LOL 

here's a piccy to prove it, but I've had 200-300fps only on finals (post HAC) everything else seems to be around 60-70fps.

Yep I know I'm a little left of field (nasty cross wind, honest ), really it was because I had trouble trying to setup fraps and couldn't remember the start screen shot capture key.

As somebody I know would say " SMOOOOOOOOOTH!".

I'm quite surprised I getting over 100fps in a modern game.

My Pc is only a humble Pentium4 3.0Ghz (HyperThreaded 1mb Cache), 1GB RAM (PC3200), ASUS V9999 Ultra (Nvidia 6800 Ultra 256Mb RAM).

I'll check it later on the Wife's PC, that has a Nvidia Geforce 5600 128Mb, but same memory and CPU.

desktopsimmer:  I've got the same computer as you, but a HIS Radeon 2600 HD with 512MB RAM.  How do you get 100fps+?  I stay steady at 58-62, no matter if I have this site open in the browser, or if I have just the game open.

Any tips??

I think it's not my setup that does it. Download the demo version and do the landing phase. After the HAC, watch the FPS soar

Yeah, I've done that.  I still maintained only 65 FPS max.

Improvements on the fr looking good. Can't wait to give the demo an install on my home pc and to fly STS-1 tonight!

Strange that it doesn't happen for you. Does anyone else have the turbo FPS on finals?

[HMSEndeavorreborn]

Okay installed it on my home machine, runs brilliantly. Turbo FPS no matter the situation. I get nothing below 100FPS indicated which is fairly strange. Time proceeds normally though from what I can tell. One complaint I've got though is the camera controls feel much heavier with the new code. Otherwise a very good update to an already brilliant product

[Melquiades]

Nice to see the FPS unlocked, getting at least twice as many now.

I agree, I found one issue with the camera controls, when sat on the launch pad in-cockpit view, camera panning is too slow.  It's fine everywhere else, from what I could see.

edit:  strangely, it seems fine when I start at T-12seconds.
