Micro stutters

[Guest RacingLad]

I'm having some trouble with some terrain stutters. Everything is ultrasmooth except when you look outside the window.At first everything is ok and then the micro stutters begin, then they disapear and it goes through this cycle over and over. It looks as if pathces of the terrain is trying to settle down on the deck.Hope you guys can help!I forgot to mention that my FPS are at a solid 30 through out.This is my

Maybe try capping you FPS down to 25. I can get a solid 30 FPS in some situations but get micro stuttering, but at 25 no stutters.Bryan.

[audiohavoc 24]

Try these 3 things:Set the frame rate to unlimited in FSX.Use an external FPS limiter and set it to 25 fps.Set your TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=10 (You have it at 80)

Can you explain please, why u suggest him to lower the TBM to 10 ?

If the TBM is set LOWER than your frame rate lock IT IS completely ignored. As usual, you can ask Ryan from PMDG to give you the inside scoop :) so the suggestion is not 'crazy' at all. In fact, a very good suggestion to reduce microstutters considerably *IF* the GPU is being stressed.
