I think the devs should define a set of standard settings and perhaps a flight recording to benchmark flightgear on, to help determine a computer's suitability to run flightgear. Obviously user submitted benchmarkings are pretty different due to different software and settings, so a set of standards like the benchmarking in arma2/just cause2 etc. would be awesome. | I think the devs should define a set of standard settings and perhaps a flight recording to benchmark flightgear on, to help determine a computer's suitability to run flightgear.

eg. low settings benchmark would be a 10 min flight on a low-polygon airplane and simple terrain, and a high settings benchmark would be everything "maxed out" in high res, in heavily complex scenery, in like a thunderstorm with 100 AI aircraft perofrming CPU intensive maneuvers in close proximity etc. (I obviously don't know how fg works and which things are most CPU/GPU intensive) | eg. low settings benchmark would be a 10 min flight on a low-polygon airplane and simple terrain, and a high settings benchmark would be everything "maxed out" in high res, in heavily complex scenery, in like a thunderstorm with 100 AI aircraft perofrming CPU intensive maneuvers in close proximity etc. (I obviously don't know how fg works and which things are most CPU/GPU intensive) | ||
Obviously a flightgear specific benchmark could be much more suitable for flightgear than a generic gaming benchmark and much more helpful for people figuring out what settings are best for their systems, so what do you guys think of the idea? | Obviously a flightgear specific benchmark could be much more suitable for flightgear than a generic gaming benchmark and much more helpful for people figuring out what settings are best for their systems, so what do you guys think of the idea? | ||
I am totally new to flightgear and I haven't seen any indication that fg has a benchmarking system, so I thought that would be nice. I could provide/specify a list of settings and record some flights (if said feature exists), although I doubt I have the fg experience and authority to do so, so I hope you guys can sort this out- besides, a benchmark system should be pretty easy to implement compared to like say adding more realism/ better graphics/ revamping the engine, so I think that including a set of specific benchmarking tools and settings is plausible | I am totally new to flightgear and I haven't seen any indication that fg has a benchmarking system, so I thought that would be nice.
