How to Improve Performance in X Plane 10

Описание: In any flight simulator, you need decent performance. To get a correlation between what you see and what you do.

For better immersion, you want a performance frame rate of 30fps or above.

Improving performance in X-Plane 10 is all about manipulating the Rendering Settings.

In this video, I show you how to choose the appropriate settings and identify the three main areas where better performance can be wrought: HDR, Texture Resolution and Screen Resolution
