Ok so here's my problem, my video card (Radeon 3450) does tremendous with everthing on high, execpt clouds. I've had to bump down my Global Texture Settings (or whatever its called) and now I can't read my VC, but I can fly with decent framerates. My question is, can you only bump that down for the clouds and keep it up for all the other textures or is that just impossible. It happens in FSX and FS9, but I perfer a solution to FSX.

 

Specs:

AMD Phenom Quad-Core 2.2GHz

ATI Radeon 3450 256mb

6GB DDR2 Dual Channel

Windows Vista 64-bit

Hi Andrew,

 

Try dropping the '3D Cloud Percentage' and 'Cloud Coverage Density' in the graphics options. Clouds are very hard on most systems, especially with these two settings maxed. I'd recommend around 50% for the 3D Percentage, and medium on Coverage Density, that should get you better frames. Experiment and see what combination works best.
