I was up to 34 last night in Campaign. The highest I've been before was 27. So I got an additional 7 fps.

Did a standard test in TE - up about 30%, which agrees with the previous post.From past experience, this percentage will be lower over the flot in campaign, but will still be a substantial increase. All settings as before, except hi res cockpit. Alex.

I have a AMD400/TNT1 and can basically run 1024x768 at the same frame rate (18-20fps, full 2D) I used to get using 800x600 with 1.07 using Training Mission #9 (Landing) as my reference.One note, I took a 10% hit when I had to abandon my STB Velocity 4400 drivers for the Detonator 3.53 drivers that fix the font problem. Still needed the ckpt.dat edit to fix the DED overflow. Hinge out

I have a TNT and a Voodoo2 and since I upgraded to 1.08 playing with TNT under D3D at 800x600 sucks big time.
But...here's the funny thing...using my voodoo2 under glide
I'm getting 25+ fps and about 12+ over the FLOT with heavy activity.
My sys is a lowly 233 with 96mb, I have the bubble and obj.density set to 2 !!! so I'm happy so far!
Question is...what the hell happened to D3D now?
I'm getting no more than 12fps in TE both in 2d and outisde view...regardless of the resolution I chose!!
Strange...

I am perplexed. I have a lowly PII 300 with a Canopus Pure 3D (4MB VRAM) and STB128 graphics card. With 1.07 I was averaging 20 frames per second (About 12 in highly congested battlefield areas). Now, after 1.08 patch, I get about 17 frames per second and dip to 6 fps in congested areas. This appears to be contrary to everyone else's experience. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried all versions of Direct X 5-6.1 with no apparent effect. Sliders are generally mid range, except bubble and effects which are at 2.

Hi Hunter, I think there are two possibilities: 1) Notice everyone else are using Voodoo2, voodoo3 or TNT cards. Maybe v1.08 just doesn't go well with the Riva 128 (which is quite a different beast from the Riva TNT) and Voodoo1 card you got. 2) Maybe you need more up-to-date drivers for your vid cards. Just my shot in the dark. =) BTW, have you checked your P2-300 to see whether or not it's a Deschutes (SL2W8 or SL2YK)? Armchair Aviator

I'm getting 25fps in campaign. It might slow to 14-18 in heavy traffic though. I get perfect ATC and wingman calls. I feel like I'm making a contribution to the campaign now that it doesn't crash at all. I'm using the 800x600 cockpit.
AMD K6-2-450
80 megs RAM
Voodoo3
7200rpm Seagate IDEI think 1.08 has given my sim a major boost in sability and power. I get nice smooth framerates now in campaign (20-25 is very good).

Don't mean to brag, but on P3 733 overclocked to 800 mhz, 128mb RAM, Voodoo 3 3500, 10,000 RPM Harddrive, I now get 100 fps in the middle of a campaign!
