If you're running on Windows, you can use the following batch file to start the simulator using the minimal profile. Open Notepad, copy and paste the following lines and save the file on the Desktop (name it ''fgminimal.bat''); change ''C:\Program Files\FlightGear'' to the directory you installed FlightGear in and change ''Win64'' to ''Win32'' if you are using the 32-bit version.
<pre>
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\Win64\fgfs.exe" --fg-root="C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data" --ignore-autosave --airport=ksfo --offset-distance=4000 --offset-azimuth=90 --altitude=500 --heading=0 --model-hz=60 --disable-random-objects --prop:/sim/rendering/texture-compression=off --prop:/sim/rendering/quality-level=0 --prop:/sim/rendering/shaders/quality-level=0 --disable-ai-traffic --prop:/sim/ai/enabled=0 --aircraft=ufo --disable-sound --prop:/sim/rendering/random-vegetation=0 --prop:/sim/rendering/random-buildings=0 --disable-specular-highlight --disable-ai-models --disable-clouds --disable-clouds3d --fog-fastest --visibility=5000 --disable-distance-attenuation --disable-enhanced-lighting --disable-real-weather-fetch --prop:/sim/rendering/particles=0 --prop:/sim/rendering/multi-sample-buffers=1 --prop:/sim/rendering/multi-samples=2
</pre>
Double-click the batch file to start FlightGear.


Using these settings, frame rates between 400-500 fps and a steady frame spacing (latency) of 3-11 ms, can be achieved on a notebook from 2007 (1024x768). Disabling wireframe mode lowers the framerate by about 50-80 fps. The window should be up and running (fully initialized) within 3-5 seconds, even on moderately old hardware (absent a navcache rebuild).
