Hey .....Where did the thermal wind function go? It looks like you can slope soar at the AlpPowersoaring site but I don't see where you can add it to any of the other
sites. Must be able to add it somewhere as it looks like thermals or updrafts at that
site. Manual talks about "wind fields - how to show" but nothing about how to create. G3.5 had a thermal setting to add to airports. Not good for those who like to
thermal soar sailplanes!!!!
Anyone found how you might add a thermal function to the other airports

Thanx
Bud

I usually have all Graphic settings maxed out except shadows on "medium".
Additional I have 16x Anisotopic filtering on and also 4x Antialiasing.

This works perfect in all fields I use but not in this Alppowersoaring from above posters.

With a small heli on ground 1 FPS,
in the air 100 FPS but still very jumpy. almost unflyable.

Any idea which setting kills my performance ? Otherwise I'll have to try out lots of different settings which I will do if there 's no idea from anyone.

Somehow it seems to be related to ground collision detection...

Normal maps and Depth of Field are the biggest fps hogs.

I have it.
The Wind-Field-Indicators were activated in Graph-quality menu.
Toggling them off did it. Everything smoth now with my standard settings.
