I wonder if it's running non-interlaced at that refresh...

  SCSI has ever been,  surely, the best way, i do use it with the best
results.
May be an other way: Does anybody tried to preload scenery in virtual
memory disk ?

"little freezes"...  ;)


I see... There is something weird somewhere in the code, don't know if 
someone has allready investigated that or
perhaps it is simply by design but those freeze are a real pain. The fps 
can drop by 50 or 90% for a few frames
for no reason. Is it caused by the 360° scan done every 500 frames, or 
some side effect of the autogen or

perhaps some other piece of code (atc, ai, fdm, etc) ?


You can only effectively reduce them by using a dual processor system 
and with threads enabled. Reading the scenery from disk does take time, 
whether you like it or not.


Using SCSI (and disk striping) would help also.

Your 60 Hz refresh seems too low, you should try 80-85, it will be more

But now that your fps is maxed you want to know how to lower it ? ;)

Hi again people,

problem solved ! :D

I've just recompiled the latest cvs of plib, simgear and FlightGear, turned on
the threads flags, and now I have a FG running up to 60 fps (i have forced the
synchro with the vertical refresh).

Cuold somebody explain me the way to tune FG options to get the best perfo ?
visibility, threads, dynamic terrain loading ...
