I'm not sure about the right channel, just amateur with Water Cooler
But, to the business. So, I'm having little problems with the freeware Boston scenery, dont just now remember the author, but look Boston from FS2004 Sceneries at avsim. The problem itself its with the FPS, also known as Frames Per Second, in English how many pictures in second, in clearer English how smooth the moving picture is So, the framerate is very low sometimes with my computer at almost full Logan Intl, so is there some kind of tweaks with the scenery? Maybe possiblity to remove the ground vehicles (If this even helps in any possible way) or some kind of smaller textures?
Hope you understand my English
Thanks for replys, and happy landings!
Regards,
Otto

Your english is fine! Better then some others here.
FPS generally go down with addon scenery and that is the price you pay for having better visuals. Boston (virtually by flytampa) is already an extremely efficient scenery that is easy on FPS. I am not sure what else could be done.

Yea, thanks, guys! One problem is clearly the huge amount of AI-traffic at Boston, especially because BOS is very busy airport. I just have to deal with this, or get some better hardware for my computer

You can turn down the amount of AI traffic in the options for FS2004 from heavy to a lighter traffic. I usually like heavy traffic, makes it more real for me, until I see a Cessna take off out of JFK.

As Scott, I like also much of AI traffic and huge amount of G/A's Nah, I use AISmooth, so AI traffic spins in holdings I think that I can deal with this problem

Good luck with that like Daniel said with added realism your computer suffers, I use a normal desktop and I had to make the choice to go down to FS2004 from FSX to have a more enjoyable flying situation, I guess its all what you want to see on your flight. Welcome to the madness of DVA its a great place and have fun, let me know if there is anything I might be able to help with.

Jason, just go the traffic menu in FS, and un-check the box for GA, that will leave you with only Airliner traffic
