The frame-rate quoted below is for the [[Cessna C172|C172P]] at [[San Francisco International Airport|KSFO]] with the default options. E.g. no command-line arguments, options selected in the launcher or .fgfsrc file. However, as most people don't run at 800x600, there is also an entry to record the typical frame-rates you see and your typical graphics settings. | The frame-rate quoted below is for the [[Cessna C172|C172P]] at [[San Francisco International Airport|KSFO]] with the default options.

If you went ahead and bought a notebook or laptop without consulting this, or did not have a chance, you might find that airplanes are missing texture shapes. This is due to the graphics card, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or driver/software not supporting and drawing certain faces/textures/sides of the model. You can try adjusting notebook and FlightGear settings to maximize performance even with notebook/slower graphics cards (see [[Settings for slower graphics cards]]). | If you went ahead and bought a notebook or laptop without consulting this, or did not have a chance, you might find that airplanes are missing texture shapes.
