Hi All, Rembrandt works well on my GT260M, and really moves FG's graphics on massively. I think it's a fantastic enhancement to FG, and we should really consider naming the July/August release as v3.0.0.
Does anyone know whether FG is unique amongst desktop simulators in offering this? I have no experience of X-Plane nor FS-X. I've noticed significant slowdown on my computer in the following circumstances: - Forests (e.g. KHAF). Having not looked at the code, my guess is that some NodeVisitor for the rending is delving too deeply into the OSG tree for the random vegetation. - Urban areas. My guess here is that is purely due to the number of models being rendered, each of which is casting a shadow. I know that there are still optimisations to be made, but could I suggest a property switch to limit shadowing to the user's aircraft? IMO the self-shadowing in the aircraft cockpit is the most impressive part of Rembrandt, and the combination of that plus shadowing on the ground might be an acceptable frame-rate compromise for many users. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
