Comments on: To Tune Framerate, You Have To Hit Rock Bottom https:/2010/01/to-tune-framerate-you-have-to-hit-rock-bottom/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Tue, 01 Feb 2011 19:01:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: nico https:/2010/01/to-tune-framerate-you-have-to-hit-rock-bottom/#comment-489 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:48:26 +0000 http://www.x-plane.com/dev_blog/?p=118#comment-489 I don't know if this has been raised or even possible but has anyone ever thought of coming up with a small plug in that would help/simply the process of optimizing Xplane on ones computer? I am a very small user of Xplane so i don't if it's possible.I am sure many of us casual user wonder if we are getting the best xplane possible.

Great article, much appreciated.

Have you posted which these are? I would be seriously interested in reading it, but I don't see it in the archive.

But there is one thing I find that kills the fps more than anything and that is clouds. I love how the clouds look but I have to turn them off or disable cumulus if I want to configure the other settings to look remotely pleasant while keeping a playable fps on my MacBook Pro (stock 15" early 2008). I don't know if 3D clouds will take the burden off the cpu -> gpu throughput or if they will look as nice but It would be nice maybe in X-Plane 10 or will it be X? that the clouds be further optimised. For the time being it would be nice to still get rain/hail/snow/lightning in real weather conditions even though cumulus is turned off. I know the cloud density and temperature determine what happens more so than the precipitation and storms sliders but maybe an exception can be made depending on the 'allow cumulus' checkbox?

Some of us in x-plane.es tried to figure out with your technical support what was the problem with x-plane (rest of software works like great). Finally none could answered the problem.
I hope there are few of us out there, it's a pain for flying xD
