andor Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Scenery & Multiplayer" 08-11-03, 01:12z  G,day guys, Could anyone clarify a couple of points for me re. Scenery & MP (Frame Rates) 1. I start 2k2\Fly Now\Loads my default airport (YTRE). Now a change of orders and I go World menu\Go To Airport\Select (KSBP) San luis loads OK. Question :- When altering from one area to another like above, what happens to the loaded YTRE scenery. Does it remain in the memory (cluttering up and slowing down frame rates. In other words any advantage in shutting down and re- enter direct to KSBP. 2. Does Multiplayer have an effect on frame rate. I always seem to have problems at KSBP when in Multi Play. ie faltering etc. (particularly short final r/w 29) Thats my excuse guys and I stick to it Request r/w 7 at all times Ben 2k2 is on Full Instal. Appreciate any advice and info. TIA Regards, Andor Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

My understanding is when you load new scenery, it swaps out what you have in memory. So there is a "slowdown/delay" because you're overwriting what's in RAM first (essentially two loads vs. one). As for a frame rate loss, it's more scenery dependant than if there's scenery already loaded. > 2. Does Multiplayer have an effect on frame rate.

The "cure" is to adjust your settings to have a higher frame rate in single player mode so you have some cushion when you go MP. > Thats my excuse guys and I stick to it Rgr! > Request r/w 7 at all times Ben LOL, now I understand!
