For those of you looking for a few extra fps...

Try "compressing" the FS folder. It seems counter intuitive to compress a folder that you always use, but it actually does work. I've seen this in several forums and it truly does work. I went from running normal planes at about 17-26 fps, down to 9-15 in high traffic, up to 20-30 and 15-25 respectively.

In Windows XP, browse through my computer for the FS9 main folder. Right click on it, and go to properties. On the first tab there is an "advanced button" click on this, and check the box marked "compress folder". Hit OK, and then "APPLY". This can take between 1 to 2 hours, so be patient. Once it's done, you'll have your simple solution, without sacrificing load time.

Are you able to add stuff and modify it without de-compression?

Compression is "on-the-fly" and only works with Windows 2000 and Windows XP installations on NTFS file systems, it does not work with the FAT32 architecture.

DO THEY WEAR FAT SUITS?????

AND-Is it true that "Flake" comes flaming out of a big pot during Mein Teil?

They dont wear the super-size suits for Keine Lust live. During Mein Teil, Flake is hiding behind a stage prop, where Till is dressed as the Metzgermeister (master butcher) with knive and butcher costume coated in blood. During the song, Till gets hold of a flamethrower and blasts Flake a few times, who then ducks back behind the prop.

FEM, have you seen Live Aus Berlin? Well, if you remember Flake crowdsurfs in the rubber dinghy - Oliver does the exact same thing in the recent gigs, when we were there, he passed directly over my head 😂
