Fps Boost X Plane 11
Niklas Terki
Typically I leave the fuel pump on until exiting to the taxi way. When I turn it off, I gently push the throttle forward slightly. This is enough to keep the engine running. I land with the engine running LOP, which works better for this engine.
As for taxiing with the boost pump, as a long time owner (of SR22 turbos), I always leave my boost pump on now. (I view this largely as an owner preference.) In a couple of thousand hours I have never burned out a boost pump, but I have had the plane die on me a few times while taxiing (and flying) with the boost pump off.
The answer to 1) is simple - pretty much all of them, as by the 1930's internal supercharger (usually gear driven) became an ordinary component of every proper aero engine (by "proper" I mean anything bigger than small engines in little training and liason planes like Piper Cub or Po-2 - these remained naturally aspirated, because you don't need blown engine for similar tasks).
Hello! My name is Lucas and just like you, some time ago I was looking for a way to boost my x plane FPS. I was frustrated cause I had a 2012 Mac and I wanted to enjoy flying without low frame rates.I learned about the xplane environment and came up with this .lua script that should give you from 5 up to 40 additional FPS. This is an X plane 11 script which uses FlyWithLua NG and sadly I don't think it's supported with FlyWithLua 2.4 for X-Plane 10.
The way it works is that it draws distance from the game objects. What this means is, that without this script, you will probably have unnecessary FPS losses during the game since there are lots of objects loaded into the game. On high altitudes, FPS will be better since these objects won't be displayed too much. I hope you enjoyed this script, and I hope it gives you way better performance than before. Feel free to give me some feedback as I improve this script to get you better performance on low to medium end pcs
XPFps.lua: Giving you a decent FPS boost with a special object draw that avoids it taking unnecessary amounts of FPS for a better game experience. It is also recommended for those of you who want an FPS booster that doesn't take away your beautiful scenery.
XPextrafps.lua: Giving you an extra boost in FPS while making some slight changes to the scenery and environment. This is recommended for those of you who dont mind much about water reflections and scenery, but to gain more FPS.
XPFpswithlessdraw.lua: Giving you an FPS Boost with less draw to improve the look of your scenery while giving the same FPS boost. I myself saw no difference in FPS but a good scenery improvement. This is highly recommended for those of you who have an FPS average above 25. However if you have a low end pc this is not recommended since it might have some unpleasant results/effects on the gameplay.

Flight speed is positively correlated with body size in animals1. However, miniature featherwing beetles can fly at speeds and accelerations of insects three times their size2. Here we show that this performance results from a reduced wing mass and a previously unknown type of wing-motion cycle. Our experiment combines three-dimensional reconstructions of morphology and kinematics in one of the smallest insects, the beetle Paratuposa placentis (body length 395 μm). The flapping bristled wings follow a pronounced figure-of-eight loop that consists of subperpendicular up and down strokes followed by claps at stroke reversals above and below the body. The elytra act as inertial brakes that prevent excessive body oscillation. Computational analyses suggest functional decomposition of the wingbeat cycle into two power half strokes, which produce a large upward force, and two down-dragging recovery half strokes. In contrast to heavier membranous wings, the motion of bristled wings of the same size requires little inertial power. Muscle mechanical power requirements thus remain positive throughout the wingbeat cycle, making elastic energy storage obsolete. These adaptations help to explain how extremely small insects have preserved good aerial performance during miniaturization, one of the factors of their evolutionary success.
Driven by curiosity about the smallest objects, scientific exploration of the microscopic world has facilitated the miniaturization of various industrial products. But miniaturization is not just a human-made artifice: success stories of miniaturization are abundant in the living world. For more than 300 million years, ecological pressures have forced insects to develop extremely small bodiesdown to 200 μm long3without losing their ability to fly. As the physical properties of flight depend on size, constraints that are insignificant at the macro scale become significant at the micro scale, and vice versa4. Compared with larger sizes, flight at small sizes is dominated by viscous air friction rather than inertial forces resulting from the acceleration of the surrounding air. This competition between friction and inertia is key for flight at all size scales and thus applies to all animals that move through air.
Although many studies have focused on the secrets of flight in minute insects6,7, most experimental data that elucidate wing motion and aerodynamics have been obtained from larger insect species8,9,10,11. Thus, unsteady aerodynamics of millimetre-size insects such as fruit flies12,13 and mosquitoes14 have received considerable attention in recent decades, whereas studies focusing on tiny insects remained scarce. Two-dimensional numerical studies on the aerodynamics of insect wings have previously shown that the flow past evenly spaced cylinder lattices reduces aerodynamic force production in bristled wings15,16. By contrast, experiments with mechanical comb-like models have suggested slightly larger lift-to-drag ratios during the clap-and-fling phase in bristled wings compared with membranous wings17,18,19, but did not cover the full wingbeat cycle. Meanwhile, using state-of-the-art high-speed videography, it has become clear that small insects use a wingbeat cycle that is different from that of the larger ones10,11, but, to our knowledge, the role of ptiloptery in this cycle has not been considered.
In this study, we analysed the flight of the miniature featherwing beetle Paratuposa placentis. We constructed a morphological model based on data gained from light, confocal and electron microscopy measurements, a kinematical model using synchronized high-speed videography, and a dynamical model using computational methods of solid and fluid mechanics. The combination of these methods offers a comprehensive view of how bristled wings work and explains why common sub-millimetre flying insects have bristled rather than membranous wings.

At low Reynolds numbers, impermeable membranous wings barely outperform leaky bristled wings in generating aerodynamic force. Thus, the small advantage of using a membranous wing is overweighed by the advantage gained in reducing inertial torques and power by minimizing wing mass. This trade-off of energy savings for a small penalty in aerodynamic force generation is available only at Reynolds numbers of about 10 or lower, where sufficiently low leakiness can be achieved with a small number of slender bristles.
The findings reported here expand our understanding of the flight mechanics at low Reynolds numbers. In flight, small insects need to produce forces to support their body weight in conditions of high viscous drag on the body and wings. P. placentis uses kinematic strategies that maximize wing flapping amplitude but at the potential cost of an increase in inertial power requirements. This is resolved by ptiloptery, an effective structural architecture that serves to reduce inertial costs of wing flapping, making elastic energy storage obsolete and reducing peak mechanical power requirements of the flight muscles. The wingbeat cycle of P. placentis is highly functionally divided into power and slow-recovery strokes. The wings thereby produce pronounced high torques that cause the high-amplitude body pitch oscillation. Inertial braking provided by moving elytra represents an ingenious solution to this problem, enhancing posture stability without providing additional forces for flight. In P. placentis, these mechanisms improve the temporal distribution of muscle mechanical power requirements and help to maintain aerial performance at an extremely small body size. If this flight style is common for miniature beetles, it may largely explain their worldwide abundance. Further studies of other microinsects with bristled wings will help to reveal the causes of the convergent evolution of ptiloptery during miniaturization in many groups of insects.
