It certainly would. My system comprises a P4 2.8 with .5 Gb RAM and a recently purchased nVidia FX 6200 with 256 Mb of VRAM. Where previously I saw 80 - 100 fps with the Cessna I now see 40 - 65. If I use a really demanding model like the Sea Vixen it is interesting that the degradation seems to be proportionately less: 35-55 down to 25-45. Of as much concern is the frame rate is the wild fluctuations down to 1. In particular the external views of the as seem to be more downgraded than cockpit view. Olaf's recent update to the MSVC8 project files gave us a few more frames. So perhaps we are seeing a difference caused by the compiler optimisation? I notice that the loading of the scenery files takes a lot longer than with plib, and also that scenery seems to reduce the frame rate more than it used to. I wonder if this could be a fruitful area for investigation? Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
