I'm fully agree...
All I want is fly...
If those objects make my flight lagging (like there are 200.000 tons additional
luggage in my fuselage during take-off), then why we need them?
Realistic cockpit is rather what a desk pilot needs, as long as it doesn't make
flying not fun anymore due to lag system

Re: Scenery Question:
For what it's worth, and I know there are those who are going to disagree with
this: but I think we're getting far too carried away with scenery in some parts
of FG. EDKK is a perfect example: someone has piled object upon object upon
object in that area to the point where FG is bogged down with all of the
extraneous and (unnecessary?) eye candy which has been installed there. Even
with AI deactivated, all large Boeings and Airbuses removed from
$FGROOT/Aircraft/ and replaced with AI aircraft so they don't clog up the
system, some users still get severe lag. One of our people actually went in and
discarded over two-thirds of the extraneous objects which have appeared there
recently, and distributed the stig file to a limited numer of users who were
affected this way, to the effect that on my system at least, FG runs much
smoother.
Not everyone has a super gaming system with quad-core processing and an
*ultimate* gaming video card to process all of this information. I would
personally like to see some sort of reasonable control placed on this. Jomo
recently commented that this idea is a slap in the face to those who spent all
the time adding all that stuff to the scenery, but I personally think that
position is short-sighted in view of the facts I point out above. Why continue
a practise which is clearly detrimental to the efficient running of the
simulator? Some eye-candy scenery is definitely an improvement, but we don't
need a luggage cart at every gate (sic) or forty static aircraft parked on the
aprons which will never go anywhere. My suggestion is to limit such detail from
hampering the smooth running of FG and stop adding when that begins to happen.
