Thanks everyone, but the only thing i find i my config file is TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=70 and i could play with that I sett it to 0 since i have frames set to unlimited, tested 70 as well but 0 seems to be a little bit better. All this is still with crossfire disabled, otherwise its getting choppy anyways.And this I can not find it in my config. [BUFFERPOOLS] UsePools=0if you cannot you need to do something like this [BUFFERPOOLS] UsePools=1 Poolsize=70000000 RejectThreshold=131072TYMB

Also this [JOBSCHEDULER]AffinityMask=14I can seem to find it in fsx config, I would like to post it here but i fear it may be to long.MB

OK i found out that i had to add not find this to the config Also this [JOBSCHEDULER]AffinityMask=14:smile: But what about this ?, [bUFFERPOOLS] UsePools=0[BUFFERPOOLS] UsePools=1 Poolsize=70000000 RejectThreshold=131072should i add it somewhere in cfg or is ti allready there for me to NOT find, because i´m not finding it.TyMB

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=0 should not be faster, its a multiplier for the texture bandwidth. I'm guessing setting it at 0 returns it to default as multiplying by 0 would of course set the bandwidth to 0. I think default is 30 or 40, optimal should be around 70 or 80. You need to add the part about bufferpools to your config if its not already there. You obvioulsy have to add either the first one I posted (usepools=0), if that causes your fsx installation to be unstable then try the other version of bufferpools i posted (usepools=1)

You will not find it there. You need to add it. Start a new line at the bottom with this:[bUFFERPOOLS]Then, add a second line directly under that which says:UsePools=0So it will look like this:[bUFFERPOOLS]UsePools=0If that causes instability you can add this instead (but erase UsePools=0 if you do):[bUFFERPOOLS]Poolsize=70000000RejectThreshold=131072You do NOT need to put "UsePools=1" if you choose to add option 2. The only thing that does is tell the sim to use bufferpools, which it already does by default.

HI i tested with the buffer tools, with the setting 0 it got a little choppyer with the other settings is exaktly no difference than before...I begining to wonder if it is the right config. the iffynitymask worked since i saw the change in Cpu core workload, so it shoul be the right config.I have it on C:\users........\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX.Mabe I should do a clean install, do I do not think it will help.I tried to attach my config file hereon the forum but it says Im not permitted to upplod this kind of fileIts only a.txtMB

Also when im outside yhe plane i get a minimum of 17-31 Frames, when i go in to 3d cokpit it will go down to 24-25 should it be like that? there is more graphics when your outside and see all buildings an terrain, so Why do I loose so many frames by going to 3d Cockpit?

Its normal. But seriously. You should follow NickNs guide for tweaking instead of tweaking parameters you dont even know what is doing. Also, its perfectly normal to have 25-30 frames on the ground in an advanced payware aircraft.

I have set my TBM to 10 at the moment and use TextureMaxLoad to tweak. TBM=40 and TML=15 with the FFTF=0 tweak as well was generally smooth but I had traingle flashes. So I set TBM to 20, and I have the feeling it got better, with fewer flashes. All this with 30FPS running and the INTERNAL limiter set to 30FPS. I tried TBM=10 last night, but I get the feeling that there are jumps, possibly because the GPU is not being fed enough data by the CPU...I was going to try and change the TML value to 18, 21, 24 and so on up to 30, to see how things change... 20X15 is the same as 10X30, so I am thinking that my optimum settings are somewhere in between...The affinity mask is a must for these tweaks... you have to get the main scheduler off core 0...This is fun currently, as the performance I now get means I can test and still fly, without fear of CTD, OOM, crash or whatever... just as long as those cooling fans keep turning... :)Andrew

Now Im back and tested all possible tweeks with my config, Nothing worked whats so ever, besides that now i shifted the load to core 2-3-4, but no improvment whats so ever that where noticeble.Actualy i found out what the problem was, my X-graphics addon had got coruppted or something, I reinstalld it and I gained around 8 fps, Now I have almost constant of 30Fps-up and no chop or lagg, only thing I left in the CFG was the jobscheduler.So that phenom II 955 3,2Ghz processor isnt powerfull enough to run fsx att full IS BULL, my main core is almost idle while playing and core 2-3-4 have approx 65-70% load and that is not much, so there is still 100% from 1st core and about 30% of core 2-3-4left.There are people with i7 processors that cant maximize the game, I CAN :)My Ideea of fun is, BAD OPTIMIZATION FSX SHAME ON YOU.All this is with only one card....If i enable crossfire it will get choppy, and unstable frames, so apperantly FSX is so bad coded so if you add a second card in CRF the game is unplayeble but with crossfire disabled i get stady 30Fps and fluent game play all options on and everything on ultra High... FIX A CROSSFIRE PATCH FSX, SHAME SHAME.So with the crossfire patch, and a real multy core optimization, if MS will release a such will probably make around anything between 30-60fps increase.I play all other games even those processor based such as GTA IV and i gain 30-60Fps in crossfire and as frames goes upp the games gets more playeble, the mouse more responsive.I seen a huge diffrence ex in just cause 2 one carded everything on full and all settings to on, res: 1920x1080 i had 60 Fps and the mouse came a bit after my move, enabled crossfire an got minimum 90fps, the mouse lag had stopped and the game became more playeble.Bottom line is:AMD Phenom II 955 3,2Ghz is more den enough for fsx on max settings and can give alot more with a propper fsx optimizationFSX can gain alot from crossfire even do its processor based, which is not using on full anyways.Everything works AGAIN and im happy now... I also use addons that should slow my performance Active sky X, X graphics, My traffic 2010, FDC live cockpit and fraps...

Uhhh? Turned out not the processor!
sorry man i NEVER said that the phenom will deliver more than intel, I build computers since the 486 so I know that for a fact. What i did say was that many say that the processor that i have, phenom II 955 quad core 3,2gzh isnt enough to run fsx att full. And i said yes it is I have it and it works.INTEL IS THE BEST I KNOW.SO PLEASE next one reading , read more carefully

Also many with this processor dosen have a highend Rig and cooler, only my CPU cooler is 10 euro thats more than half of the processor cost today.. the rest of the rig you will find on first page

  • Author

not 10 is 100euro, that keeps my processor at 28Celcius at Idle and 37 Under load, max safe temps are 63Celcius.Probably those others having problem with this processor should check their temps.High temps makes the hardware mailfuncion.

This is from Another forum "for you" saying that I7 processor is better than amd phenom II 955 x4 3,2Ghz IN FSX........ Intel IS BETTER but in fsx it make no noticeable difference because FSX is bad coded.... " I bought Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition and it is lagging allot I mean I have a i7 950 over clocked to 3.8GHz and a Nvidia GTX 480 6GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory what else do i need to run this damn game smoothly ? I will admit this is on MAX settings for everything". MY Amd processor is working as said before when busiest, around 60% on core 2,3,4 and about 10% on core one, with the multi core tweak in config and with acceleration pack. so I still have about 40% left in core 2,3,4 and almost full power left in core 1, that’s so bad coded FSX is, my AMD processor if more than able to run this game at full with proper multi core optimization there the load is spread evenly to all coresSo I guess the only hope is one FSX fan will be able to make a proper code for the config file to use all available cores, it wont work, I have all sliders so it shows ultrahigh graphics on everything and 1920x1080 and it works fine between 22-32FPS with 4 add-ons and fraps even with my BAD AMD :) which give me minimum of 90Fps in just cause 2 everything on and on Ultra high, there all cores all working evenly and of course, 2- 5870 1GB in crossfire" that is Some good coding.Unfortunately my flight controls Logtech G940 got some problems on the thruster so i got a replacement under way, I’ll pick it up today, I even bought a new Supra 1.4 Hdmi cable for the computer and i will se if that made any difference to fsx. ill test it tonight.

Finaly they are here, the supra 1.4 removed a lot of visual defects, and I had to install catalyst 10.10 to get best performance for my rig, I downloaded all previous Catalyst in case I need to try another
