Do you run with all of the options on? Do you run on NonPhotoRealistic fields? (The PhotoRealistic fields require less processing power as indicated by the greater frame-rate). What is your frame-rate?
I have a 2.4 Ghz Celeron with 2.0 GB RAM, and a PCI Nvidia
6200. I can't even get a decent framerate on 4.0 on the NonPhoto fields unless I turn the options down a little bit. No clouds no shadows, low foliage density.On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:36:33 -0600 "Peter Olcott" remarked:
Don't know what my frame rate is. I did boot into Windows today and applied the latest update to realflight from 4.50.025 to 4.50.036. I now notice a slight hesitation when I first advance the throttle on take off. But that is the only glitch I see. The hesitation is so slight I almost didn't notice it. I wonder if it's always been there and never noticed it?
Anyways, I always turn everything up details and graphics wise and run that way, then start turning details down until it runs smooth and I didn't have to turn it down in G4 and Didn't when I updated to G4.5.

Could well be. I have a friend with G4.5. I think he has a Radeon card, too--and he's got the same glitch.
It happens even with most of the graphics stuff turned off. I just turned it all back on again and got used to the glitches. :o)

Thanks. Much appreciated.

4.0 reports the framerate, so 4.5 probably does too, this is the most objective measure of choppiness. 20 fps is about the minimum with no detectable choppyness.

The thing that some of us are complaining about is not choppiness throughout the flight.
It's a momentary freeze part way down the runway on takeoff, at a couple of other parts of the sky, and on crashing.
I saw it on the RF setup at the store, too, a couple of weeks ago.

In my case I thought that I remembered that the problem was a frame rate of about 1 or 2.
