Hight resolution cockpit vs low resolution

Featured Replies

Hey, how many of you flying with low cockpit resolution? and how many of you with high resolution? is there any significant different between them? i have tried low resolution and honestly, i cant tell the different?, Daniel P.S its work great for me

I can tell the difference. For one, the "textured dash" in front has less detailin the low res textures.. Some other areas you can see a difference.But still quite usable. I can also tell a difference between the gauge textures,but again, still quite usable.Myself, I use the high res cockpit textures, but have been using the low resgauge textures. That way I get most of the slight frame rate increase, along withslightly less memory load, but the cockpit itself is still high res.

Hey thanks for the info, do you mean your checking the low res at the fsx settings?, Daniel

i use all the low settings in the pmdg performance manager and yes there is a difference but now fsx is smooth i have never had fsx run so well my autogen is set to dense and ut2 at 50% i also use asv6.5 and radar contact, no more tweaking for me.

thank you,Jim

In performance manager, I'm only using the "virtual cockpit displays" set to lowres. The other two, I use the high res textures. No change to FSX itself. It's setto the usual max setting.

Tried the low res VC once. Yes, there is a notable difference, at least for me. Went back to the high-res VC again and didn't look back. Guess we're all getting spoiled. I can't even bear some of my other addon aircraft any more.

I use the low res gauges too.. with the high res VC to keep wingviews etc... and it is better smoother than default, etc... I can run with copilot gauges on too.. and keep the framerate I want....about 30 locked most default scenery areas.

If I use low res with the 700 I get all kind of trouble with indication lights; like no 3 greens but 2 greens; autobrake to RTO and the green speedbrake-armed light illuminates. Anyone else has this problem and is there a solution?Thanks Peter

To me it looks like the Perf.Manager is not entirely working correctly.Just tried setting the low res VC textures to high res VC textures.I see no difference and am using 3 monitors for one wide view.For the displays there are a Panel_VC_High.CFG and Panel_VC_Low.CFG file.When using the Performance Manager I can see the values change in the panel.cfg file, so that one is working correctly.The same with the MDL files. I checked those too and also that is working fine.In the folder PMDG 737-800NGX there are a texture.vc folder and a texture.vclow folder.I was not able to find any entry pointing one time to the texture.vc folder when the Perf.Manager was set to High Res VC Testures or another time to texture.vclow when the Perf.Manager was set to Low Res VC TexturesWhen manually renaming the texture.vclow folder to texture.vc , than the low res textures show up.Attached 3 screenshots : one taken with the Perf.Manager set to High Res VC Testures and the other one set to Low Res VC Textures.I can't see any difference.The last one with manually renaming the Vc folder ; now it is working.

Hi Gerard,How is your framerate? I also use triple monitors, but my system is at i950 not Sandybridge like yours. At a busy airport I got 10-12 FPS. Which is worse than my J41.

On my system at Amsterdam Schiphol ( the heaviest on the system ) or Frankfurt with MT X , MT Live and Car traffice around the airp[ort ( AES Light ) I get at least 16-18 fps.In general I have always 20+ amd I have set FSX to Unlimited and the External FL to 25.

Way cool. I am due for an upgrade next year, can't wait. If you don't mind, could you let me know your settings: scenery, traffics? Also do you use Nvida Inspector profile on AA?Thanks
