Why do Blueprint Simulation sceneries have a significant effect on frame rates on older computer systems?
BluePrint Simulation sceneries are high-performance add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator. They are intended to provide an immersive experience only achievable by pushing the limits of detail and texturing possible in the simulator. Any significant increase in detail or texture resolution would render the sceneries unusable. Some of the features that we consider essential are true-to-life terminals and concourses with customized jetways and accurate parking spot locations. We use the highest resolution possible for the textures applied to all terminal and concourse models and we customize each jetway to accurately represent the configuration of each airport based on the most recent information available to the public. Customized jetways account for a significant percentage (more than 50%) of the model complexity and consequently is the feature with the highest impact on BluePrint Sceneries’ performance. Nonetheless, we would not have them any other way. Some luxury items in our scener
