Gee ... where have we heard this before.... ;D
I have re-installed FS9 but in the compact form .... But I want to pare it down even more. One reason being I am lecturing more and more and that is really requiring more of my time ... but most importantly, to see if this helps with performance. The Cessnas, the Baron, Bill's Cub, and Liscombe, and Brian Gladden C-140s, and HTAI Ai aricraft, Dee Waldron stuff ... that's it. -- Everything else ... out of the hanger (gauges will remain.) Add-ons ... very, very, very few ... the Nova array, Airport textures .. 2. whatever, stars.dat (real stars - flightsim has it, under fs2002 ..I think a must if you do any night flying) EZ-Scenery and the vintage series available, VOD 3.0. I am also bringing over Frank Betts' BC short hops from FS2002. That will be about it. I know about eliminating "lessons" ... forgot what all I can delete regarding that, though. I would like to eliminate ALL other scenery area, save North America. Need proceedural advice there. So ... need sage council and advice on how to accomplish this ... and any othre suggested ditties. If this works ... going to back track into FS2002 ... keeping the aboved mentioned stuff ..and Leon Lewis' Quebec sceneries ... as really a tribute to someone sorely missed.
So Help-Help!!
The FS9 install is complete (compact install) perhaps a good sign is that it took less time to install, than for me to write this.

Hi Dale, I don't think removing the "Rest of the world" will make much improvement in frame rates. The overriding section that slows my antediluvian system down is traffic. I presently have it set to about 15% and this allows scenery, water, autogen and other terrain features up high.

What I did ... and I found some interesting information at the Microsoft site is ... aside from screen resolution ... left most all at "default" ... They suggest for example that Terrain Mesh not be set higher that 80% ... default is 50%. I did eliminate the Lessons ... in a quest to save overal HD space ... as well as a variety of the aircraft that I never fly ... and for the most part ... not adding a lot of additional stuff. Even the default mesh looks fairly decent. The idea of removing the "rest of the word" was to sace HD space ... but I didn't ... the compact install didn't eat up a lot of space.
