So I recently installed FS9 again after using FSX for a while. I have all my addons installed and all my information setup. The problem I am coming to now that I completely don't understand is that I have the same aircraft in FSX and FS9 and I get better frame rates in FSX (I kid you not). The frame rates are good in any view other than the virtual cockpit. Once in there my frames go to about 13-20 range. I get 25-30 in fsx! I have REX, FS GLOBAL, Ultimate Terrain, Zinertek Water, Ground Environment Pro, and many sceneries for airports. I've been wanting to fly the Ifly 737 but just haven't been able to getting 10-15 and sometimes lower. Is there any setting I need to change or problem with NVIDIA. My specs are:OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home PremiumSystem Manufacturer Dell Inc.System Model Inspiron 530System Type x64-based PCProcessor Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz, 2331 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GBGeForce 8800GT Graphics CardThanks,Kevin

Better frame rates in FSX - lucky you! I just wish that I could get a better price for a system which would run FSX!!David

Ive an older system than yours, and have the frame rates locked at 24.I use the Nick N settings which he posted years ago which work for me.Heres a copyGreetings, Still no idea about your video card. That has a HUGE impact. THis was posted by Nick, ages ago... FS9 CONFIGURATION FILE REBUILDSave a copy of your current FS9.cfg file in a safe place. Then DELETE the FS9.cfg file being used by the sim.Start Flight Simulator. You will be starting clean with a new FS9.cfg file Let the sim boot and go to the SETTINGS area. Make the following changes:DISPLAY BUTTON: Scenery Tab: All sliders to 100% and ALL check boxes checked (water FX on 100%) Aircraft Tab: Drop down box, select HIGH, which should enable everything Weather Tab: 60 -40 – 100 with Detailed Clouds and 100% maximum density Hardware Tab: Frame Lock @ 24 XXXXxXXXXx32, NOTE: SET THIS TO YOUR MONITORS NATIVE RESOLUTION - X32 Check in: Render to Texture, Transform and Lighting, UNCHECK AA, Trillinear Filtering, Mip Quality 4 FOR ATI, 8 FOR NVIDIA (note: some Nv cards may cause shimmer at 8.. set to 4 in this case)Hardware Lights 8, Global Texture Slider 100% CLICK OKSOUND BUTTON: Sound to MEDIUM, you can put the sliders wherever you wish, click OK You can set this back to HIGH after tests are completed and your sim is smooth.TRAFFIC BUTTON: Traffic to 90%, click OK REALISM BUTTON Drop down Box; set to HARD, UNCHECK allow collisions with other aircraft. AUTO RUDDER should be enabled if you fly keyboard and do not use pedals. Click OK WEATHER BUTTON: Check only Download Winds Aloft with real world weather, click OK Close the sim Once you close the sim a new FS9.cfg file will be written with the settings you just made. Open the new FS9.cfg file in notepad. Scroll down and VERIFY - ADD - EDIT - CHANGE the following items in the list: [CONTROLS]PAN_RATE=700 <--- will always be 700[DISPLAY]RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=1.2RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=1.0RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.0RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.5UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=24 to 28 // note.. if the processor/card is a bit slower, this may need to be 22TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=240 //NOTE: some systems work better @ 400 which is the MAX[TERRAIN]TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=5TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.5 // Also try 9.0TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.0 // Also try 4.5 (with 9.0 above)TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=4 < --- If you use FSGenesis mesh, make it 4.

One word my friend, nHancer. Coupled with a good set of tweaks this can raise the performance of an averagely performing FS9 to new heights.

I have a system that is roughly comparable to what you are running and I too often obtain better frame rates in FSX.For both sims I have followed the recommended settings from Nick N as well as the recommended Nhancer settings. I think FSX must make better use of the dual core processors capabilities.Another observation; I find if frame rates start getting low FSX still runs smoothly while FS2004 definitely doesn't.Regards, Mike Mann

I tried that and saw no significant increase.Thanks for the replies. I will try nHancer but am not to familiar with the program.Kevin

Apparently FS9 is CPU intensive, more so that FSX.Your CPU is only running at 2.33GHz which I would suggest is to slow.(I stand to be corrected by the comp experts).Can you over clock it to run 3 ghz.Ive still got an old Pentium P4 running at 3 ghz with loads of addons ect and ive fixed the frame rate at 24.If you search the forums youll pick up loads on this steve

No, FSX is way more CPU intensive than FS9 and a 2.33Ghz CPU should run FS9 fine.I have found that FS9 works great if it's rweaked nicely. Look at the .cfg file and make changes, do regular defrags, nHancer is a must with an nVidia card and look at things like Gamebooster which shuts down all the stuff you don't need running when using FS9. All these tips and many more that are on this site and others will help with the smooth running of Fs9.

I can't overclock due to it being dell and their motherboard. Sorry if I sound slow but nHancer doesn't open anything. I run the program and the logo comes up but then nothing happens just goes back to my desktop.I feel like I noticed a difference after installing FSGLOBAL. I have disabled it but it hasn't shown a difference. Could this be causing an issue with the textures. I don't really want to uninstall if it isn't it because its 25gbs.

what is considered a well tweaked cfg file i wonder

Hello,

what is considered a well tweaked cfg file i wonder

A well tweaked FS9.CFG is one that gives you the best results at any point of view ..And as each person has a different opinion on what he considers best ... pull in the conclusions Regards.Gus.

it almost seems impossible to know what a well tweaked cfg is.are there any MUST do tweaks?

Hello,My FS9.CFG is well tweaked (I'm happy with :(

:( Regards.Gus.

I've tried a few different cfg's and none seem to help. I just cannot figure out why I am able to lock my frames at 29 in every view except the vc. In the vc I range from 15 to 18 and lower at larger airports.Kevin

Thanks for posting Gus, ill look it over.
