This may seem really naive--I'm new to FlightGear, myself--but I found that performance improved radically when I went to the new graphics driver software. I'm running FC 6 on an x386 with an NVidia graphics card. Everything works fine for me. I compiled from source I got out of the cvs. Lee

If you want to make the simulation more realistic turning up the turbulence is not the best way to do it. At the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, the simulations were operated at 1.4 times real-time to give the pilot a task that resembled the real thing. This technique was developed during
