Does anyone else notice a big FPS hit with ETO? I am having to run everything on 2 except aircraft which are on five and clouds right down.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

In your assets folder is a texture caled scenery_Sheet01.dds (or something very similar). There's a low-res version of it there too, try swapping them over (take out the existing one then rename the low res version and put it in its place).
This should give you a marked improvement.
Also, are you running FS autostart, or similar background-service stopping programme? That will also help a great deal.
My pc is pretty low spec and I can run free-flight with the sliders maxed out. 2.8 ghz pentium 768mb ram, 6800gt 256mb vid card.

FS autostart -

a brilliant litte proggy which will shut down all those unneccessary services running in the background on your PC.
It takes about 10 mins to set up - you have to manually go through a list of services and tell it what to stop, but fear not as it tells you if they can be stopped or not.
Using it will give you better fps.
(btw if you have shockwaves BoBII it comes with a similar proggy in one of the updates)
That's what I had until I upgraded last year (bought a recon from Ebay for about £100) it should still run cfs3 on med settings with a few tweaks.

Home for tea and tiffin!
I used the low res texture scenery_Sheet01.dds and that helped. I'll give Pat's proggie a whirl though
