When the simulation starts I get 15 FPS which is normal on that PC. Once I circuit and turn towards the open sea, the frame rate drops suddenly to 3 FPS, which is quite harder to pilot. Turning the plane back towards plain land restores the frame rate but only after several seconds (maybe this is not a matter of time but of what's displayed). I didn't ask for random objects, 3D clouds or any such special features.


This is probably becuase your hardware can't handle the high number of *static* scenery objects in down-town Wan Fransisco (near the bay bridge). You could try to limit this effect a bit by specifying:

-prop:/sim/rendering/static-lod/detailed=500
--prop:/sim/rendering/static-lod/rough=5000
--prop:/sim/rendering/static-lod/bare=15000

I found no way to add these parameters to the command line. The Windows Me MS-DOS window did not allow me to type more than two lines of text for a command.

The best solution I found is to fly using a little 800x600 window. I still get FPS freezes but very short, merely hickups. Also they don't occur at the same place neither heading the same direction.
