    Hint: 3jFPS-wizard

    This is a very useful LUA script that adjusts LOD ranges for objects and clouds (almost literally) on the fly to attain a certain target FPS.
    It does require a sensible base setup for the rendering options, but once you have that, the script very unobtrusively controls the datarefs for LOD ranges, cloud puffs, anti-aliasing, etc. to attain your target FPS. However, it's very configurable (by means of a setup wizard or total manual control) and easily adapts to your preferences.


    I'm using it on my laptop to keep the framerate near 30, while on my desktop PC, it ensures maximum LOD range and cloud quality at FPS above 30.
    By now, I'd consider it an essential add-on to make up for X-Plane's simplistic rendering option menu.

    Requires FlyWithLUA.

    This is great Bjoern... Thanks for HU

    CG .... I had similar problems so re-read installation instructions on the download page

    And noticed there are two other files you need... I'd missed one...also take careful note of where they go. Hope helps you as it did me.

    Yep, FlyWithLua (Core or Complete) and that 3j module are definitely needed.
