Title: How much does the F-18 load down your system?
Post by KCMO on Mar 29^th, 2008 at 12:40am

I would like to purchase an F-18 with a quality virtual cockpit like Captain Sims's but I'm a little nervous about the hit on frame rate.

I'm guessing my frame rate would be less with the Captain Sim F-18 compared with, say, the Microsoft F-18. I can accept that.

But I'm hoping the Captain Sim F-18 won't slow my system down worse than the Abacus F-18.

Can anyone give me an idea what to expect?

actually it is only marginally more than the Acceleration Hornet, I'll bet it won't be anywhere near as laggy as the another company superbug.

That's good news, looks like I'll have to get it!

And thanks for the help.

If your PC can run the Acceleration F-18 it will run the CS Xload ok. Mostly because the Acceleration F-18 is made by Captain Sim and the XLoad one is an updated two seat version with additional extras included.

Thanks DAX. Yeah, I just installed it and did a very casual comparison with the acceleration F-18. I was surprised that the Xload VC was (as far as I can tell) identical to the Acceleration VC. If CS created the Acceleration F-18, I guess that makes sense.

Edited to remove rambling questions (I finally figured out how to get to the manual)

In case you haven't already noticed, the AB takes about 4-5 off. Even up to 10.

Gents,

The MS Acceleration F/A-18 external Model and the XLOAD external models were made by CS; but, the internal VC was made by FSDreamTeam.com (FSDT).

Hope this helps explain things. ;)
