Tom,I'm not sure settings that worked with FSX are going to be the best for the sim after SP1.
I've done a search on FSX USING SP1 but most of the sites were before SP1. For what it's worth, the only one I found was
http://blogs.technet.com/torgo3000/pages/FSX-FAQ-_2800_Part-1_2900_.aspx For what it's worth, my settings, at the moment, are GRAPHICS Frame Rate 30 1280 x 1024 x 32 Trilinear Antialiasing ticked Global Texture Resolution at max Advanced Animations ticked Information Text continuous AIRCRAFT 2D Inst Pan ticked Tool tips blank HI Res 3-D VC unticked Transparency at zero Aircraft Shadows on Ground ticked Aircraft Shadows on Itself unticked Aircraft Landing Lights ticked SCENERY LOD Radius max Mesh Complexity max Mesh Resolution 2m Texture Resolution 7 cm.....CRUCIAL Water Effects High 1.x.......high = lower fps Land Detail Textures ticked Scenery Complexity Max AG Density Sparse Ground Scenery Shadows unticked Special Effects Detail Max WEATHER Cloud Draw Dist 60 m Thermal Visualisation None Download Winds Aloft ticked Rate of Weather Change Medium Detailed Clouds ticked Cloud Cover Density High TRAFFIC Airline Density 79 GA Density 80 Airport Vehicle Low Road Vehicles 54 Ships & Ferries 40 Leisure Boats 40 Show Aircraft Labels ticked Model ticked Distance ticked Altitude ticked Cycle Rate 1 secOn my system that seems to be working OK. I haven't made any of the FSX.cfg changes that I put in before SP1.
Hope that helps but keep an eye on the forums. Gerry Winskill Gerry Winskill wrote:
Is it possible that the changed FSX structure might allow us to reduce the load, when selecting from the Aircraft Menu ?Looking at FSX.cfg it lists User Objects=Airplane, HelicopterThat line is followed by lines of the addresses to Airplanes, Rotorcraft, Ground Vehicles etc.If a folder was made for "AI", all the AI aircraft put into the folder and AI add after Helicopter, on the User Objects line, then an additional address line added, would it be possible to segregate AI aircraft from the flying versions?Any ideas in unmarked envelope.
