Hey nice screens. Looks great with sweetFX.

Would you mind telling me what your system specs are and what sort of FPS you are getting for heavy and light scenery + same for a/c add ons?

Cheers

Sure, but haven't tested fully yet with the new CFG tweaks and SweetFX

I5 2500k @ 4.5Ghz
8Gb DDR3 1600 CL7
Factory GTX 780
7200RPM hard drive
Win 7 64Bit

Running at 1920 x 1080
FPS unlimited
Everything max except: no bloom
terrain mesh 2M
water 1 down from max
cloud distance at 100
traffic at 50%
LOD is up to 6.5

In those shots where all taken with it never going below 30, averaging about 50
A flight in the Milviz F86 stayed above 80 FPS the whole time
Another flight with a Milviz beta plane in Seattle, I didn't check FPS but is was smooth the whole time

All with Orbx PNW, and those pretty much the only flights i've done with these settings.

Some tests with the NGX at KBFI with splitscreen mode so you can see the difference in colour and FPS
