Fly Tampa Test campaign

For those interested, as promised, a quick test campaign on Fly Tampa Rebooted, for further comparisons with my KSFO test. I will deliver more tests today with Flightbeam KSFO and FSDT Las Vegas. Test scores and protocol are described ;

Test on a Quadcore 2,33 Ghz, 8 Mb ram, graphic card ATI HD 5850, my triple head interface not disconnected but resolution is 1280 x 1024 x 32. Windows 7, 64 bits. FSX pro/UTX USA.

Three steps ;

- At gate Tampa KTPA, i got 17,6 to 18,4 fps (defaut fsx calculator). Then, i reboot the PC.

- At threshold 36 L KTPA, i got 17,1 to 19 fps. Then, i reboot the PC.

 - At last, i take off from 36 L, make a 180° turn and make final approach. On touch 18 L, i got 13 to 16,5.

Other conditions ;  same Quality Wings B-757-200 AA One World, same weather conditions, i do not use any others programs and do not open external view during the test as this temporary create a loss of 2/3 fps. Measurement made as soon as screen opens and i wait for fps to stabilize. No AI traffic except road traffic value = 18, which is way too much but i did not want to change parameters from the begining.

Here are FSX defaut settings panels ;
