StormRunner:

I think the sim can already run in the mode you want…the lowest tex res is pretty close to none. Forward no HUD and forward panel should avoid drawing any plane eye candy. And for lots of numbers, grab “dataRefEditor” and pick the “stats” view…HUGE amounts of numbers…you’ll love it! 🙂

Not being an 'eye candy' kind of guy, I tend to put everything on minimal and go with better flight model analysis. I know, I'm a minority.

I would prefer that you would add a 'basement' setting that will strip the terrain of all objects, textures, etc.

Then another that will adjust plane details from 'realistic gum stuck to the wheels' to '1992 called- they want their graphics back'.

The panel, of course, can't really be adjusted like that if you want to use it. I think you've already got this one covered.

And if you could add a data i/o for how much time was taken by each graphics subsystem, that would help alot for people like me who love to watch numbers all day. No counting of polys, just a time offset.

I don't want much, I know. ;-)

That’s funny, I was thinking “it goes to 11” about two paragraphs before you cited it…!

Every reference to videocard and CPU vendors is purely coincidential :P
