I installed Klaus Nowak's new USS Ranger (CV-4) today and tried some landings in AICarriers. I have an older system but with most CV's I can maintain 29-30 FPS right down to the ramp. On my approach I watched the frame rates drop until I caught the wire, at which time the FR was 0.5 FPS, like near death. As soon as I hit the S key to go to external view things went totally weird - the sounds faded, and I began getting random views of the plane, the ship, open ocean, San Diego, overall Southern California, etc. and that was it, game over. I never got a OOM prompt, but I did notice my CPU was about maxed out. Is this what it looks like when FSX just gives up? I'm not finding fault with Klaus's carrier but I'd like to know what the heck happened. I've been flying aboard his 27A and 27C CV's and various other decks and haven't had the sim go stupid on me.
