For those curious about the Mac running FSX...
Someone recently (in the past 2 weeks) was saying that setting your frame rates higher allows the sim to run slightly smoother. Well, I tried it on the Mac and sure enough.. I set it at 36 FPS. The thing runs it extremely well, lol.. Here I thought 20 FPS was pretty good.
I am still learning alot on this rig, and have been so busy with work and design and errands, etc, that I hadnt had a chance to experiment with the settings much. Tonight I did and I am glad I did. :d I didnt think that extra 16 FPS would make a difference, but it sure does. It seems as though the system doesnt fight as hard to run, and the fluidity when looking around is quite nice..
(You have to understand, I havent been able to run FSX smoothly before, so you can understand how I felt to see FSX running smooth at a constant 36 FPS... Eyes as big as quarters, gray eyebrows unfurrowed and pointing straight out of my forehead, the hair on the back of my neck auto-shedding and floating to the ground, sweat beading up and dripping off my palms onto the Saitek joysticks, the glazed look frozen as my mind bathed in a semi-Narvana like trance, beholding the nicely filled autogen world of FSX, complete with cars on the highways... :d ).
:faint:
