• 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.

Scenery and FPS

SOH-CM-2014
I have been trying several KaiTak sceneries and the best looking ones are FPS killers. Is it true that the biggest hits are from lighting? Is there a way I can mitigate the hit by editing or taking out some part of the scenery? I have had some success doing this before but so far it hasn't worked on this one.
 
You can check the scenery bgl's and see if there's anything in the filenames that can clue you in on which ones to delete. Other than that, you'd have to contact the author.

You can also try converting the textures to DXT3 or 8-bit if they aren't already. Sometimes that helps, and sometimes it screws things up even worse - just make a backup of the originals.
