    New Features and Functionalities with V2

    Hey all,


    This is a thread concerning all the new features of V2.


    [SCENERY PRELOAD MEMORY FLASH DELAY DURING BOOTUP]

    Here is one concerning performance and how V2 runs scenery. When you first start up the sim, you will have slow frame rates. This will last between 5 and 15 seconds, depending how fast your motherboard and HD and GC run. What is happening is your scenery is flashing to the graphics card VRam. It takes a short while until its done, then your frame rates should pop (not jump but pop instantly) up to 30 to 36 FPS, (depending also on your FPS limit setting, all your V2 system settings, etc, etc). So be warned, your first moment in V2 will be slow. Allow it to load everything into your system.

    Booting up will be much faster. With SSD's, its lightning fast. I count exactly 10 seconds for zero to 'idling on the runway'. That's one-thousand-and-one, one-thousand-and-two, etc. But VRam/Scenery will be loading 'after' you show up on the runway.


    [OPTIONAL: BOOTUP MENU SCREEN OR FLIGHT READY MODE]

    V2 now has a Bootup screen called Scenario Setup. It is also optional, as many also liked booting directly into a flight, so you can go to the setup screen, click the 'start up in scenario setup' ticker and when you boot up next time, you are in the menu screen. Its just as easy to access this from the main flight mode menu as well. The new Menu screen will have all your basic setup selections such as airport, aircraft, etc.

    You can now setup fog in your weather custom settings. It has to be seen to believed. It is first rate.....
