GlennH Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi all, Having made many trips to San Diego for business, I'm very interested in adding this airport to my SCA installation but I am concerned about performance. As this area can be demanding, I was wondering what people who already have it think? I like to maintain 30 FPS for approaches and I easily achieve that in my current settings on v3 and v4 installations even in the San Diego area of SCA. Opinions appreciated. Thanks, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc_Z Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 What sim are you using? Also depends on your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It also depends heavily on what aircraft you're flying. The frame rate you'll get for the default Mooney is a whole lot different than what you'll see in a complex aircraft like the PMDG 777.....Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just looking for an apples to apples comparison from someone who owns the airport. But anyway...... Realair Legacy / Turbine Duke Majestic q400 AS CRJ Dont use any PMDG aircraft.

Thanks, Glenn Hi Glenn - I have a 1070 8GB and a i76700 @ 4.0 bursting to 4.2 GHZ and in a Carenado cockpit I'm getting about 23FPS in P3Dv4 but at times going up to 30FPS (smooth) in outside spot view or out by that mall on the north side of town near Old Town. That is with AI airliner traffic and Worldwide Ships AI. It's definitely flyable. I'm relatively pleased with this scenery, it includes a better Balboa Park to land over than the competition's, and the downtown is OK and is convincing. I'm biased and terribly picky though because in XP11 I painstakingly assembled a collection of available sceneries and my own Ortho scenery to create my own perfect scenery just the way I remember it from vacation this year with our Embassy Suites labeled as such etc. I might "tweak" my Orbx scenery to include this feature and others.

GlennH Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks, I will consider. Sometimes I wish we could do a demo as I have been burned before with performance of some airports vs others etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
