Settings for Slower Graphics Cards

Some of us don't have the luxury of using the highest-end graphics cards. Fortunately, FlightGear can still render you enjoyment in the skies with a few strategic settings optimizations. The optimal settings may differ depending on your particular computer's hardware setup, so these are just suggestions from which you can experiment.

Hardware Setup

  • Graphics card drivers: Ensure that you have the manufacturer's graphics card drivers installed. For example, Windows may automatically install a generic graphics card driver that works fine for most applications but which does not offer OpenGL support. You may be able to download and install drivers specific to your card from the manufacturer's site. See Troubleshooting_problems#Slow_Framerate_with_OpenGL_Card for additional information on drivers.
