Foliage Density (%)-
This setting determines the density and drawing time of the trees and
the grass. Lowering the percentage will ensure that the scenery is
drawn faster. Again, if you are experiencing low frame rates, lowering
this value will speed up the simulation.
To adjust the percentage, click on the value located to the right of the
Foliage Density (%) name. Enter the desired input directly from your
keyboard, or use the mouse wheel.
Normal Maps-
Normal Maps add increased details to aircraft and objects without a
large increase in video card processing. Normal Maps are part of the
Real Rendering feature in RealFlight.
Water Quality-
This setting specifies the quality of the water in the simulation. To
modify the quality of the water, click on the value indicated in the
column to the right of the Water name. Select the desired level for
your simulation from the pull-down list.
The Highest setting will render the best water, but it requires additional
processing power. If your frame rate is low, we suggest reducing the
water quality.
Water Particle Quality-
This setting controls the different type of graphical particles related to
water. A Low setting turns off all water particle effects while a High
setting will show wakes, splashes, and ripple effects.
Water Shadow Quality-
Turning this setting On, will show shadows on the surface of the
water as well as on the surface beneath the water for a more realistic
appearance.
Shadow Quality-
This setting specifies the quality of the shadows in the simulation. To
modify the quality of the shadows, click on the value indicated in the
column to the right of the Shadows name. Select the desired level for
your simulation from the pull-down list. The Highest setting will
render the best shadows, but it requires additional processing power.
If your frame rate is low, we suggest you reduce the shadow quality.
Shadow Map Quality-
Shadow Map Quality setting controls the size of the shadow texture.
A larger size texture will show more detail for a more realistic
