Hello Gang!

Before I send CS Support an e-mail about this, has anyone noticed that when you look left/right/back/ or quarter views in the 2D cockpit, that it takes a while for the picture to actually paint???  Seems to me that there is some sort of issue with the way window textures are done???  I have a pretty "beefy" machine and it is incredible how much switching views takes a hit on perfromance.

Thanks for any input.

Sincerely,

Dennis D. Mullert

Hey Mark!

Thanks for your reply.  I remember having to do this with the default FSX aircraft reflections as well to solve the same issue.  Can you tell me what I need to do with teh CS aircraft?

Thanks a Million!

Hey Mark!

I appreciate your help man!  I tried your suggestion to no avail.  If you wouldn't mind, you can contact me at Mullert@SBCGlobal.net and maybe shoot me a copy of your file.

Thanks a Million!

Well it at least helped a bit Dennis.

The Captain Sim 757 & 767 are pretty heavy on the graphics in my opinion and that is what makes them look really great. If I use them with my Australian addon scenery, I really get low frame rates.

The Australian sceneries are really better for low flying GA aircraft anyway, so when I fly the jet airliners I turn them off.

[Edit] I had to modify this post a little as I broke the Forum Rules. Sorry Captain Sim.

Food for thought folks!

I started messing around with the texture file that includes the cockpit glass reflection texture after Mark's recommendation above.  When I either deleted or "blacked out" the textures found on this file, and I loaded the 767 up for a spin, there was no lag in switching views - yes, I had black views, but a very fast switch of views - as it shold be.  This tells me that the culprit here is not the internal cockpit textures or views - it's the stinking glass reflections.  If Capt. Sim could either get rid of the useless reflections or somehow improve the glass reflection texture file to not be such a performance hog, life would be good in the cockpit.  Once I put the glass texture file back and ran the sim again, the absurd lag returned.  By the way, the name of the texture file that contains the glass textures of the cockpit is CS767_C_31_T.dds.

Hope this helps!

Awesome Mark!

Shoot it over when you can mate - Mullert@SBCGlobal.net

Thanks for all your help on this!

To Add to the mystery....

I took my CS 757 for a spin to compare this behaviour and I can report that on the 757 (which shares the same panel and cockpit with the CS 767), this behaviour does not occurr - even with the reflections activated.  So, I suspect an issue with this texture in the 767.

Just bear with me for a while guys. I'm a little busy at present.

• I have friends here for the weekend. It's Saturday 2:30pm AEST here.

• My daughter is 5 days overdue for the birth of her baby. Her first baby & our first grandchild. �

• I'm using Windows 7 64bit RC at present but will revert back to XP in a few hours. All my modified textures on my XP drive which is disconected.

Later tonight when my friends have gone to their place of lodging and if my daughter has still not had her baby, I will get it done.

Captain Sim 2 :- It is possible to make a texture set for less powerful computers. Textures will be loaded faster although with visual quality loss. �I might be able to check this one out! But textures and repainting are not my best areas. �
