Want more FPS on the 707?

Been messing around with FSX, and if you want better FPS(I received +10 FPS!!!) switch on DX10. Usually I have it off as it complicates things, but for the 707, it's perfect.

I had never tried this, as until recently, I didn't have a DX10 compatible graphics card.
I have now and can report that not only are my frame rates improved, the lines in the virtual cockpit don't happen any more and nor do the spikes I used to see from the treetops  with autogen set to maximum.
An added benefit, antialiasing is more effective.
Thank you for the suggestion, it works for me.
Screen resolution at the monitor's limit of 1440X900



Regards,
Nick.

I have to agree. I turned it on and no more graphics problems when I first load it. Also, it doesn't seem to make much difference to my Frame Rate at Orbx - FTX: AU YMML Melbourne International v2, which is a good thing too.

Most of the time I alternate between DX9 and DX10, because each have their advantages, and disadvantages.
