{{cquote|I would be very interested to know how many polygons per second FGFS is rendering. Do you have a ballpark number? | |||
It might be nice to have several sections of the benchmark and in one try to maximize poly count of the scene and minimize all else.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@flightgear.org/msg21533.html|title=<nowiki>Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear 'benchmark'</nowiki>|author=Wolfram Kuss|date=Wed, 25 Feb 2004 13:42:21 -0800}}</ref>|Wolfram Kuss}} | |||

{{cquote|How about a reproductible way to benchmark FlightGear ? Something like q1test or q2test in Quake. That is : an automated sequence of flight during, say 30s to 2mn, along a predetermined path from KSFO with different views. This could be presented has a demo and at the end, a summary on framerate and performance numbers will be displayed. | |||
This could be controlled by command line options ( --start-demo-mode=once|loop, --display-perf-summary ) | |||
