A free utility called "XP11 Texture Compressor Pro" (released Q1 2026) analyzes your Custom Scenery folder. It finds textures saved in uncompressed .png or high-res .dds formats that your eyes cannot actually see from the cockpit.
These scripts allow you to manipulate cloud draw distances and haze, which significantly boosts FPS during bad weather.
Marco restarted X‑Plane 11. He loaded the same scenario: Zibo 737, overcast skies, Seattle approach. He watched the FPS counter nervously.
: Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows Display settings .
X‑Plane 11 is a scientific marvel, but it is notoriously heavy on hardware. While everyone is talking about X‑Plane 12, the reality is that most of the flight simulation community still relies on XP11 because of its massive library of freeware and stable add-ons.
: This is CPU-dependent . If your CPU processing time is higher than your GPU time, lower this slider to reduce the number of 3D buildings and trees .
