Can anyone else rival this kind of performance on such a 'mediocre' FSX system?

2.33Ghz processor
NVidia 8600GTS
Cheap generic motherboard
2GB Ram.

Friday Harbor at the following settings;

Global res - Maximum
High detail VC - Yes
Texture res/mesh res etc - Maximum
Water - Low x2
Autogen - Medium
Scenery complexity - Maximum
Special effects - Maximum
Weather - Medium

No bloom, aircraft shadows, scenery shadows etc.

Solid 40 fps all over the shop.

As I said, my computer is magic.

How much fps in New York City (default scenery) with this settings?

Depending on your AA and AF settings, that sounds about right. My old system was similar and got about the same performance depending where I flew. Add some AI, turn on real weather and you should be back down to a respectable 18-20 FPS, LOL. :jump:

As for New York, noone gets good performance there, I don't go near it, LOL.

With the settings in the first post, I get 26fps average, with very few stutters.

With full scenery complexity, full autogen, and medium weather coverage I average about 23fps, with a few more stutters but perfectly fine.

This is flying over the busiest part of new york, low level.
