Grab the HDE V2 package....it's even BETTER! Not sure how Pablo could make something better than V1, but he did! And still no frame rate hits, even when using the High Res clouds...okay, maybe a little when flying in heavy heavy heavy storms, but that hit is very minor...maybe a frame rate or 2 per second.
V2 can be found on AVsim.com. [FONT=verdana, sans-serif]hdev2.zip
Oh....I used V1 and V2 on my old system.....P4 3.0gig, 2 gig PC3200 RAM, 512meg Nvidia GeForce 7600GS, Win XP Home SP3.....and had NO frame rate hits, except when flying through heavy heavy storm clouds...and that was just 1 or 2, maybe 3, frames per second. ANyone with a system of that calibre and better should be able to use Pablo's V1 or V2 without a problem.
