I noticed that the new 3D instruments on pa28-161 causes my frame rate to drop to low single digits (2-3 fps) (Windows 2000, Cygwin, Celeron 600, GeForce2MX). Panning the view so that the instruments are not in view brings it back up to about 20fps. I cannot remember what I got with the 2D instruments though.
Yes, I know that a Celeron 600 is a little out of date. I found a suggestion on the web last week that Celeron 600s are usually good for nearly 1GHz, so I may try that as a short-term fix. I quite fancy building an Athlon 64 based PC though :-) Richard > -----Original Message----- > From: David Megginson > Sent: 27 February 2004 1:23 pm > To: FlightGear developers discussions > Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] 2D EFIS Instrument > <snip> > As the original author of the 2D instrument code, I *strongly* advise > against building 2D instruments.
