Hey guys,This is really frustrating me.whenever see 3d custom buildings the FPS are being CUT by 50%...i have scenery density set to NORMAL.AA is set to x4 SS and AF is x16.What can i not have these buildins and 3d sceneryt have such a severe impact on my flying experience.Although i do not have a high-end machine, i do believe it can handle the scenery.computer specs:e8500,8gb ram, gtx 285 superclocked.Would appreciate any help baker.

There probably is no single answer, however if you do an internet search for "FSX Tweak Guide" you'll not only find the pdf "FSXTweakGuide.pdf" you'll probably find a whole slew of suggested tweaks on other sites as well. Some performace increase can be gained by just adjusting the scenery sliders and other sliders. Other performance gains can be made by "tweaking" or modifying the native FSX files. It does take some time and a bit of patience to tune FSX. In addition to guides if you look in the AVSIM file library, in the utilities section you can find a program that tracks your fps through various settings and that may help in tuning your system.Good luck!

here's what im talking about.please do note that i am using FSX's AA and AF features (i read it should be setup this way)also i am using NORMAL scenery and autogen density.Please help me im begging you !here are the 2 pictures :

.... and 30 fps is not good enough for you? To tell you the truth I dont think what you are seeing is wrong or bad. What REALLY matters is smooth. Naturally your frames will go down when scenery is in view. I dont see a problem at all. Why are you locking your FPS so high?

because 20 fps is horrible tofly it's like a slideshow of some sort.i will not accept it

If 20 is a slide show then you have something set up wrong. With settings as low as you have them at, I think you said you had it at normal, then you got some reading to do. Here is ALL the info you will need.http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041
