I have not changed the cockpit angle in view.lua. I have a P4 3.2 CPU and a 6600GT and run the sim at 1280*1024 with 2xAA and no AF. If the slowdown was due to the extra textures and polygons being drwan, wouldn't I get the same slowdown on external views when viewing the whole aircraft? I will retest with cockpit reflections turned off. Thanks

Hi, I have FC 1.1 and in cockpit view I generally have good FPS, however if I turn my head to look towards my 3-5 o'clock, or my 9-7 o'clock the FPS normally halves and the sim becomes unplayable, especially in a turn fight. I did a test, flying the Su25T in the second standard mission. After waiting approx 30 seconds after mission start and looking left right a number of times. Whilst aircraft on the ground Looking forward 33fps Looking past my 3/9 o'clock 15/16 fps = Approx 50% fps drop Whilst aircraft in the air Looking forward 42fps Looking past my 3/9 o'clock 19/21 fps = approx 50% fps drop. Any ideas what might be causing this,or is there a fix available? Thanks
