Nick1150 Home Cockpit 737NG project in Athens

[Nick1150]

A dramatic drop in FPS, from 50+ FPS in one view in the past, to 7 FPS with the windowmaker tool!!! Have to work on that during the next days. My PC is i7 in the top range with 12GB RAM, SSDs, etc, etc, costing almost 2000 euros. I did not expect such a drain in FPS!

My pedestal is now solid as a rock, CPflight quality all over...

My FWD overhead now has 2 solenoid starter switches from SimWorld, and two magnetic ones for the yaw and antice...

I now have to concentrate to improve my image quality, warping and blending and after that I have to spend some time flying because one month or so without flying at all is very depressing....

After that an aft overhead and a screen is on the list for the months to come...

Hope you like it, I feel that this thread is somekind of a calender for my cockpit project, instead of building a site for it, it is much more convinient to post the changes here.

Friendly regards to all,

Happy simmer again.

Late this night, I am already tired but I have accomplished to do my first test flights with sucess. Warping, even without a screen, has been made, and I beleive that this is the best one can get without a screen.

My FPS with FlyTampa Athens scenery after tweeking has increased to ~11FPS but that's just it, after takeoff everything is smoother, but during taxi ~11FPS, that's it...

Fly Elise Pro has been purchased and I am waiting for the key to activate the product.

Thanks all for reading my thread.

Hi Nick, Have you tried setting the processor affinity in task manager- If you set FSX to exclusively use some of the cores and other software to use different cores this may help. Made a really big difference and got pretty good performance in fs9 even with a dual core machine when it was set to use one core and prosim etc to use another core.
Hope that helps
Cheers
Steve

The thruth is that I didn't know anything about processor affinity. After I googled it, I can see from the results that it makes a difference in FS9, but not a big one in FSX. I will give it a try though, and revert.

I'm also using ProLasso with good effect.

Can you please give me more info about this soft?

after a succesful short online flight I feel very happy with my setup. Ok I have 10 FPS in Athens airport but I get about 50 FPS on the air and around 30 FPS in any default airport, so given that its only addon scenery issue, I fee l happy enough.

Just a short video before activating fly elise
