POLL: FSX or FS9

[Gabe_62]

For the guy who is only getting 6 fps with FSX, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.For starters: TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=512 - should be set to 1024, or the sim has to resize textures.Also, "Bloom Lighting" is switched ON - this is a real framerate killer !!! You need to find Nick Needham's guide to installing FSX - it is very good.If I'd paid someone to create that file for me, I would sue them as being a danger to humanity.Did they also tell you that pretty much every time you get a "Crash" in FSX, it rebuilds it anyways - so you'd need to re-copy it across? - In fact if you are not aware of this, your current CFG file may actually bear little resemblance to the one that you "paid" for.The great thing about the Leonardo is that if you are on a old PC, it doesn't use much RAM - around 850 max in busy airport approaches. With the Coolsky, I'm getting 850 at start up - comared to just 600 with the Leonardo. By the time I fly 2 hours and approach a busy airport (Aerosoft Heathrow for example), the Coolsky is upt ot 1.1 GB - when it hits 1.15 GB - Out of Memory Error !!!!So, for me, although the Leonardo Maddog is slightly worse on FPS (although it is configurable via sliders), and doesn't have the built-in totorial stuff and panel-setting, it has zero OMEs. Perfick !!!

Hi all just to add me thoughts i got the middle range pc using fsx using slider around the 3/4 mark and getting around 15 to 19 fps at airports and at alt getting around the 30 to 40 fps so it pays to set ur sliders to suit ur pc

One area you may not have investigated is ******* Altuve's website http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html He has some ideas for FSX .cfg which many find very useful. The site is free and worth a look.
