Just a question before I buy. Do the frame rates for the Freighter run about the same as the pax model. I know mileage may vary but as a rule does anybody see any increase with the Freighter.

I just purchased the freighter. My computer setup should be detailed below as my signature. I have pretty amazing framerates (23-30 FPS) when flying with REX real weather, flytampa kai tak scenery. It is a smoth airplane, good framerates.

PC Specs would help ;)

For me they are the same :)
AMD 6400
6G ram ddr2 800
2 x 8800gts 320 mb not SLI
4 x screens (3 World 3d cockpit, 1 x 2d instruments etc)
7.5 FPS
not the best but flyable

I'm running an Intel 2.6 GHz processor at ultra high settings (Acceleration w/ ATI 4650 HD) and I get same fps as -300 and even default planes.

Thats werid... For me I get about 9FPS at the lowest and 16 the highest when with most stuff I get 30FPS, but I normally fly GA so ill look into it.

Guys, with that specs you might think of tweaking FSX a bit.

Hello,
I do not understand one thing. Specifications of my computer is listed below in signature. When I fly another plane (default or addon), I have about 60-70fps on high settings and resolution 1920x1080, it is great. But when I load the 767CS, the framerate decreases to very unplayable 13-15fps. I tried everything, change settings to low, change settings in the fsx.cfg file and nothing hepls, the fps rised only to 14-16fps. Can you pleasy tell me why this happens? I know that FSX has very badly optimised engine, but decrease to 15fps from 60fps is very large.
I bought the computer for his ability to play this addon, but the fps is the same with my notebook  :'( :'( :'(

DX10 preview enabled?

No, when I turn the preview on, the antialising do not work and the quality of picture is bad :-/

You'll never see 60 fps with the airplane, but you should be able to get higher than 15.  My recommendation, after making sure Accelleration is installed, is to dial back your settings to the bare minimum and see what kind of frame rates you get.  Then start adding more, starting with whatever is most important to you, until you reach a compromise between settings and frame rates.

I have a very similar system to yours and have it locked at 25.  Occasionally I'll see 19 fps briefly, but it runs quite well.

Turning Preview DirectX 10 ON actually reduces the frame rates. I think  mbucholski was asking if you had it enabled, and not suggesting you turn it on. ;)

Thanks, I will try lower settings, but it is bad. I hope next service pack for the CS767 will solve this problem :-/ Is it needed to install acceleration? I have fsx sp1 and sp2 installed. I do not fly the f16, only the big ones :)
My landing captured by fraps. 7fps with fraps, 13 without fraps - unwatchable :-/ It is watchable only when I look straight forward - no turning head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA3y0xJH1Cw

Markoz:
Yes, I know, i tried to turn it on four months ago :)

Are you Polish, @Karolina?

I think you should play a bit with your video card settings (dunno of a nhancer for ATIs) and fsx.cfg. With that hardware you should reach 20fps with no problems. For me it worked (fps increase from 9 to approx 18, so it's not that dramatic now).

No, I am from Czech Republic :)
I tried all of the tweaks listed in the file I posted to rapidshare (.zip with a few pictures), it is all I found about tweaking fsx.cfg. Everything works very good with default planes (from 20-30fps with default fsx.cfg to 50-60fps tweaked fsx.cfg). But does not work well for 767CS. I tried to shortly overclock i5 from 2,7 to 3,8Ghz and overclock HD5850, but there was not change too. It is bad.
When I play new Dirt 2 on ultra settings, tesselation and other things turned on, it gives me 50fps, so I am very sad with 767CS's 14fps  :( :-/

Czech Republic is not that far. :) That is really upsetting, maybe you could contact Captain Sim directly and they'll see what's going on.

Yes, I did it, they sent me links to knowledge base to install only flight deck (I did it before - no change fps) and KB where they say that they will improve it in the next service pack. So we can only wait for it :-/
Or wait for the new Microsoft Flight  :D I hope it will not be only an arcade :-?
