I have a PII 450 MHz running Win 98 and using an
Nvidia GeForce Ti4200 and 512 Mb of RAM with a 128/256 Graphics
aperture.
Using the latest NVidia control set I can set the
monitor timing to GTF, and using a 72Hz refresh rate with the FG model running
at 60Hz and the frame rate throttled (!) to 24Hz I am getting 4- 6 fps on
taxiing and 12-14 fps in the air (using the Yasim Hunter and the 3d
panel).
This is acceptable though not
brilliant.
However, more than the slightest course correction
from my MS Sidewinder (v 2.0, USB) causes a serious drop in frame rate.
The sim doesn't stop, becuase i suddenly find I am using eg 30deg more bank than
i thought i put on. It seems like the screen freezes, but the plane
carries on!
I haven't tried landing anything yet!
On the other hand if I change to an exterior view
and circle the a/c the frame rate drops only slightly - 1-2 fps. So this
doesn't seeme to be a basic frame rate problem?
Having said that, from time to time the frame rate
does drop and there is some disc activity - but not consistently with use of the
joystick.
So, to me this seems to be a joystick handling /
USB? problem? I have rewritten joysticks.xml to point straight to the MS
stick in ref<0>.
I didn't get this problem in Linux,
though there I have both processors on my MB running, and possibly better USB
drivers than W98, though I think I've downloaded the latest
support.
Any ideas?
Tks, R
