January 4, 201115 yr Unfortunately, your system would crawl if you tried flying with my current HQ setting and weather scenerios. Add all the wonderful airports and sceneries, and there's no telling what I would do without a tweaked cfg file.Anyone, and I mean anyone, who says I don't fly with a tweaked cfg file is not saying the entire truth.The truth is that the cfg is affected by FSX sliders. Even non tweakers, tweak. :( MSFS
January 4, 201115 yr Whooah! That's what we Brits say about everyone else.. And of course, we're right :( Ian....and that's why it's always so hard for us to be humble, too! :( i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
January 4, 201115 yr Author The crazy world of the FSX.cfg file...For the longest time, (where once I never had it....) I have had the dreaded FSX 'freeze-up' whereby you are in flight for about 10 minutes, and then all of a sudden, your total animation comes to a dead halt with only the sound of the engine running. You don't CTD, but just sit there totally dead. You can usually wait it out, and after about 10 or more minutes, all of a sudden, the animation returns and you might or might not have this PITA situaltion again. Not all flights, but most....Well...in trying to squeeze a little more smoothness out of the sim, I increasedTEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=60 ( my normal setting for months) to the amount of '80'.What happened? No more freeze-ups for myself. I now can fly hours (for instance, I just landed at KOAK from a flight starting at CAF8, that was about 800 NM's or so) with no further mentioned. The ONLY thing I changed in my entire .cfg file was increasing the above setting from 60 to 80. That was it! I not only got the best animation (smoothness in progression of flight) but as now stated, I have flown for hours since having tried the new setting and have stability.The standard setting is 40. I have tried of course 60, 100, 400, etc...as per other user's postings over time, but NONE have produced no freeze-ups or the best fluid animation as just doubling the default setting for this entry.So...if you have the freeze-up issue showing up now and again, or for every flight....give the setting of 80 a try and see if that clears it up for you also.Cheers,Mitch=========================================================================================Just landed in Ft.
