Hi, Not exactly 'standardized' but certainly agree the some comparative information is important, not only which video/resolution/OS/... These were all run as default, noon, full screen, 1440x900, c172p, motor idling, KSFO 10L, for about 5 minutes each... the last is SG/FG git about 17:00 hours UTC today... Various versions currently available - in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - all compiled from git source... fg3 2008-09-01 - 46 fps fg4 2009-03-26 - 46 fps fg5 2009-04-18 - 47 fps - highest fg6 2009-06-26 - 46 fps no 2010 not archived, until... fg14 2011-04-26 - 43 fps fg15 2011-06-03 - 40 fps fg16 2011-11-01 - 40 fps fg17 2011-10-30 - 32 fps fg18 2011-11-15 - 27 fps fg19 2012-01-16 - 22 fps - lowest fg20 2012-05-01 - 32 fps fg20 2012-05-04 - 32 fps This is of course without rembrandt, and not specifically enabling/disabling ANYTHING, although perhaps internal default were changed... Of course I hope we can someday return to the fps I got for most of 2009 ;=)) but do understand new 'features', subsystems, etc - in short improvements in the 'real' experience - can cost fps, perhaps never to be recovered... HTH. Regards, Geoff. PS: Can someone remind me the --prop:/sim/??? to set from the command line to show frame rate - to avoid the need to View -> Display Options to click it into existence - tks. Of course I would prefer it be enabled by default ;=)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
