Hi.

Quick question. After tweaking FSX using Venetubo toll I am still getting this message: MAKE SURE to disable Transparency Anti-aliasing for improved smoothness with your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti card.

I check my NVIDIA settings and it is disableded. Why this message still pops up?

Thank you.

it is just a reminder to disable it because it's handled out side fsx.cfg file (handled by nVidia drivers and inspector), it does not mean it was found enabled.

OK. Appreciate it.

Does anyone know how to solve this stretching problem with my 2-D panels? http://i45.tinypic.com/14pijk.jpg happens on all of them

Hi Guys.

 

I hate to do this, but I am a little short on time and I have probably not done due dilligence in my searching. IF someone would be so kind as to point me into a good troubleshooting guide for the st.. sttt.. sttuddddeerrrss. that would very much appreciated.

 

I just did all of the tweaks Ryan taught. I have noticed a wonderful improvement in frame rates. LOVE IT! But the studders are killing me. I am also a follower of NickNs install as I built this machine for FSX and it was working great when I did that his install method and I also defrag with OnO 15. So I dont think I have issues there. Does anyone know if using System Mechanic to re-align files might have any effect on studders? It is similar to Ultimate defrag and moving files to the outside of the disk.

 

Those are areas of suspect in my opinion. I am far from any sort of guru that is for sure.

 

This is question 1...

 

Question 2 is, now that I have pretty good frame rates locked down around 30, I would like to eeek out a little more. What sliders have you guys felt are the biggest performance hits? For me I have noticed Autogen is huge as well as global complexity.

 

I am in need of performace more than stunning reality visuals as I fly jets and I am using this for an upcoming pilot interview so guages cockpit etc are key for me. I also am using Sivionics and ISG for some well placed FMC work. Ernie Alston did a fantastic job on those.

 

Anyway if you guys could point me to well respected resources I can take it from there. THANK you so much in advance!!

Is anyone getting CTD's without any errrors in the NGX with the FXAA allowed?

Have you ever tried Word Not Allowed's Tuning Guide ?

 

http://#####...hardware-guide/

 

About sliders and settings :

 

I take scenery complexity and autogen density: Very Dense

 

Water : High 2x

 

NO Light Bloom or Scenery Shadows !

 

Road Traffic: 25% or less !

 

Jets: 30% and GA: 40%

 

 

Mostly 29-30 frames and very bad weather: 24-29 only minor stutters.

 

Minimum: runway KLAX or KJFK in stormy weather, virtual cockpit of the 737 NG : 16

Jetblst, i just saw that you have a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad Core at 3.4 Ghz.

 

In that case NickN's tuning is probably the best you can do, since Word Not Allowed's tuning is more for the latest 2 CPU generations.

 

And of course there's also the Bojote's Automatic Tuning Tool:

 

http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

 

FSX will always have stutters, even with the latest Intel I7 Ivy Bridge processor overclocked to 4.5 Ghz or more and a Nvidia GTX-680 videocard, FSX Word Not Allowed-tuned to perfection, NvidiaInspector with the best settings, small microstutters are reported.

Laminar's P3D gives the same framerate but is smoother: look for tests at Word Not Allowed's site.

 

PS: what i said about sliders and settings was also for a more highend PC, so you have to experiment and have your settings lower.

when i choose 2x grid supersampling, it looks ok but frames decrase instantly with my 660ti card. do you have any good suggestion?

Hi All

 

Can any one tell me if updating the video card driver will make changes to settings used with the Inspector?

 

Will I have to go back and re do the settings again, or will it just change the graphics card?

 

Thanks

 

Stewart

Yes every driver update will result in you having to put them back in but you can export your changes out and reimport them it's in the top menu do it before you update your driver.
