* imagine we would create a bunch of additional "benchmarks" like this, each of those testing individual features of FlightGear (shaders, effects, particles, shadows, AI aircraft and so on), all of these could be useful to allow users to see if their system (and configuration) is able to run FlightGear or if it needs to be modified (software/hardware configuration).

* We do have a so called "flight recorder/replay" system that can save flights. The whole system is property-driven, and it is possible to provide custom sets of properties that should be recorded. In other words, it would be possible to create a custom "flight recorder" configuration that doesn't just record aircraft settings, but also rendering related settings [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19202&p=177733&hilit=benchmark#p177741] | |||
* Maybe we could use the flight recorder to record a flight, so that more people could try the same flight, recreating your settings ? That would basically be a simple benchmark [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=19738&p=181625&hilit=benchmark#p181625] | * Maybe we could use the flight recorder to record a flight, so that more people could try the same flight, recreating your settings ?

* Using a combination of prerecorded flights, the replay/flight recorder system and a Nasal script to change setting on the fly, it wouldn't necessarily be very difficult to create a simple benchmark framework.

* having an easy way to reproduce a certain configuration, could save us tons of time and question asking - so having such a feature would be really invaluable in my opinion.[http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=176025#p176025] | * having an easy way to reproduce a certain configuration, could save us tons of time and question asking - so having such a feature would be really invaluable in my opinion.[http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=176025#p176025] | ||
* the simplest option would seem to be using existing stuff. After all, this is just about recording and replaying properties. And that's exactly what the new flight recorder (replay tapes) system does. So we could simply abuse it a little to also provide a configuration to sample the various rendering properties (see rendering dialog) and implement a benchmark, which should give us a way to reproduce settings fairly well.

* Still, the idea of creating a simple, easily recreatable benchmark flight, sounds good to me! What aircraft would be suitable? Is the UFO in the standard installation? I don't know, since I use the fgdata from git for years... Then I would make some flight over KSFO, which should be on every FG installation, and then? What would I do with the recorder tape? upload it somewhere?
