FSX vSync FIX

[abax2000 1]

I just tested it with Vertical refresh on "Off, unless application specifies" but no luck again.

Thanks a miracle for this *******, even in my poor Pentium 820 it stopped the tearing, even in low fps situations! You sir, are a Genius!! muchas muchas gracias :)

Hi, I just recently installed W7 and FSX Deluxe Edition using Nick's setup guide. I have a 5850 Asus and a AMD 955BE. I experience very bad tearing with the ATI, and it comes to the point that I can't stand it anymore. And apparently ******* found a fix to it. This is how I tried doing it.1. Go into FSX folder. 2. Locate FSX.cfg3. Under graphics i put in "ForceFullScreenVSync=1" (without quotations) 4. I save file and close.5. I open up FSX and test it.6. Tearing is still there. nothing has changed. I couldn't apply the fix. Could anyone give a step-by-step guide on how to do it?

The FSX.cfg is not located in the FSX folder: it is in your \Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX.

Open your FSX.cfg file and scroll down to find this header:-[Graphics]...then insert the vsync fix anywhere under that. It will be there.

EDIT: I made a folder on C drive and installed FSX there, just like the way it said on NickN's installation guide.Sorry but I did not understand. I'm a noob and I really need this please.. Could someone do me and everybody else reading this thread a favour by posting a step-by-step guide on locating the cfg?I use Windows 7 and I'm sure everyone else is probably using it..

Thank You very much! Greetings from Greece! :(

Confirm,working with the 5970! However i noticed just a little bit of it like only a slice of it when i turn the camera around but i might be coming from the cpu that didnt overclock yet cause im waiting to set a the noctua nh-d14 to do it.( some of you may know this awsome cooler) I have an i7 930 2.8 stock or it might be cause of no bluring.The fix works awsome,Many thanks to the gys again! :(

hi i also set in the vsync in graphics but should i set fps to unlimited or 60 or what in fsx

Hi, Thanks for the tip about vSync. I tried to use it in windowed mode, It seems to work as my FPS don't go aver 30 (sometimes they go to 20 when the scene is autogen intensive), and my FSX limiter is set to 40. However I still have some stutters. Do you think the fact my computer has two screens may cause the problem ? I play in window mode as I like to have all my maps, pdfs and so on on the other screen which is impossible in full screen (I'd really like to however). I tried to limit my FPS with FPS limiter instead of the internal game limiter, but it doesn't work well, more over the green caracters from FPS limiter appear on the EZCA window, not in the FSX window..... If someone has an idea.... here are my specs : Q96550@stock4Go Ram DDR IISystem on Raid 0, FsX on a RaptorRadeon 4870 with the last drivers. vista 64FSX SP2. PS : played a bit with SM3, wonderful ;-)RegardsJerome

I never had tearing but forcing vsync has done no harm to my system. BP=0 gave me a massive boost (50% to 80% increase in FPS @ KSEA) and the external frame limiter is helping a lot with micro stutters and for sure will be even more helpful when I get a GTX480.******* is our savior (never thought I'd hear myself say that).SpeedQuad Q6600 @ 2.4GhzRadeon HD3870x26gig DDR2 800MhzTripleHead2go @ 3840x1024TrackIR4GoFlightWin7 x64FTX;MTX;UTX;FEX;GEX

Not to sound stupid, which is one thing I can never avoid, I can not find a Graphics.ini or Graphics.cfg file in FSX. Exactly where do I go to make this miracle fix to my system. I have a (keep the boos and hisses to a minimum please) HD4650 that I'd like to try this on.

No problem. Don't look for a "Graphics.ini" or "Graphics.cfg" file. It's the "FSX.cfg" that you need to append. Actually, PaulJ posted the info previously. Here ya go:The FSX.cfg is not located in the FSX folder: it is in your \Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. (in WinXP, it's \Users\Application Data\Microsoft Games\FSX) Open your FSX.cfg file and scroll down to find this header:-[Graphics]...then insert the vsync fix anywhere under that. It will be there.

In [GRAPHICS] (not DISPLAY) add this:ForceFullScreenVSync=1And yes, its 1, not 'True'and set your driver to let the application manage vsync. just tested now with my nVidia card, and I can confirm it works. Can an ATI user test? I tested also in my laptop which uses a crappy intel card and it also worked... so either I'm completely dilusional or this is one of those 'miracle tweaks' (for ATI users) test and report.

"My vsysnc choices in inspector are Force On, Force off and Use 3D application setting. I am assuming the latter, Use 3D application setting" is the correct setting?
