Performance test HP ProBook 4510s

Because someone claims about airport's ILS errors and poor performance on old hardware, I made ILS approach and full autolanding tests on all EDDF runways with Concorde and B777. All landings was perfect, without crash or other incidents.

This tests was performed on old notebook HP ProBook 4510s with configuration :
- CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 @2.1 GHZ
- 4 GB RAM
- Intel GMA 4500 HD with 1GB RAM
- LUbuntu 16.10 with Intel Mesa DRI 12.06
- Flightgear 2017.1.1 with disabled terrasync and manualy downloaded and installed Scenery v1.0.1 tiles e000n50 and e000n40
FlightGear config :
- standard render (not Rembrandt)
- ALS off
- all shaders off
- scenery objects ON
- vegetation density Medium
- no 3D clouds, precipitations etc.
In result, framerate didn't drop under 7 fps, after view adjustments not under 10 fps for B777 :shock: Yes, I had not active any broadcast software for realtime youtube streaming, but CPU load did not rise over 60%, because FG is not multithreaded. There was nice reserve for any broadcasting software.

New test with FG 2017.2.1 on very similar platform, major difference is graphics, now GMA 3000 HD, other condition as in previous post. With default render framerate didn't drop under 10 fps in any circumstances, maximum fps was 20 fps in clear sky and B777. Render pipeline of 2017.2.1 is optimized much better than in previous release. Good work developers.
