A few shots from Tauranga, early morning. Aerosoft Twin Otter (what a fun aircraft that is!!) and the PMDG Beech 1900, RealNZ scenery and FEX clouds. Nice!! All the sliders at about half way, although I am running it at 1680 screen resolution to keep the fps up. AI traffic levels are also fairly low, again to keep fps up.











smooth landings.

Very nice - are your autogen sliders at half as well? - if so Tauranga looks fairly well populated even at half.

Autogen setting is on dense. I am experimenting with the different add-ons to see what settings that I can use. Seems like there is no one configuration that is good for all areas. Lord Howe Island seems to be the one that will run at the highest settings, perhaps because there is sea all around, whereas Wellington seems to hit frame rates fairly hard. So I guess that I will end up with a series of configuration files depending on where I am flying. I have installed new, lower resolution trees (from TreesX) but I am not sure if RealNZ trees will also be resized. Also lots of other tweaks, such as buffer pools adjusted as well.

Last night I read the pdf file whilst waiting for Robin's Southern Lakes Adventure, and followed his advice to set the texture resolution to 15cm. This seems to have sharpened up the pictures a lot, so I may leave it there. FSX is running on a laptop (dual core 2ghz/4GB RAM), which must be near its limits, and with only a Nvidia 8600GT (256mb RAM) graphics card, looking at upgrading the computer before too long.

smooth landings.
