I downloaded this plane which I love to fly, but it hit frame rates hard. Is this just normal for this plane since its not FSX native or is it just me?

I definitely have a frame rate hit as well!! It is because it is not FSX native. The Section F8 F86 Sabre has the same frame rate hit. The only way I have found, on my computer, to increase the frame rates is by having the mouse cursor showing. I have not found a way to make the mouse cursor show permanently unfortunately, it always disappears after a few seconds.

I guess this is a system by system problem. I have never had a frame rate hit with this airplane like I do some other FS9 portovers. I don't have any idea why and I certainly don't question it. I run a very average dual core system that's a bit over 2 yrs old now with an NVidia 9600GT card. If you are already having problems, then these new textures aren't for you as they are double the size of the originals and would most likely just add to your problems.
 
On that note, I just uploaded all four of the new liveries. I won't hazard a guess as to when they'll be available since I don't claim to understand the new downloads area. They may show up in the "New" area, or the "Skins" area or both.:salute:

NOTE: I've sent a message to have this corrected (it was my fault), but the images for the 438th and 120th are flipped. The downloads are correct, but I mixed up the images when I posted them. The 438th has a yellow lightning bolt on the wing tank and the 120th has a blue arrow. Sorry 'bout that!

My system is running an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT card as well on an older dual core. My processor is an AMD however, so perhaps that is the problem.

Same as mine, I have upgraded the Motherboard after it got fried in a thunderstorm. It runs an AMD Anthlon 5600+ w/2.9ghz processor.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why some have good luck with portovers and others don't. I'm happy that I don't as it opens up a lot of the great airplanes that I flew in FS9.

I only have the AMD Anthlon 5000+ on an ASUS M2A-VM motherboard in a custom built system. Runs just about everything except FSX glass cockpits and/or FS9 aircraft fine though.

How much memory do you have? I have 8gig, which is a waste, I should have spent what I did on 4 gig of that for a faster processor, lol.

Only 2 gig. I'm running Windows XP 32 bit so even 4 gig would be wasted.

Yea and I'm running Win7 64bit. I could kick myself for not checking into the additional memory before I bought it. I just figured it would really fly with all that memory. . .not really, lol. I'd have seen better results from a faster CPU.
