December 19, 201114 yr I know the title is a bit vague but I've a few queries, so if anyone can find the time to help me, it'd be much appreciated.I've recently done a clean install of FSX having overclocked my CPU for the first time, not much but I'm still getting the hang of it, 3.2 to 3.6. I've also bought another hard drive which is now solely for FSX. My FSX.cfg file has been processed by Bojote's tweaking tool and at the moment, I'm doing a bit of testing. Using PMDG MD-11 and FSDT Geneva as a base, I've noticed a few things I'm not sure how to remedy.1) There is a criss-cross grid appearing at Geneva airport. How would I get rid of these? Screenshot 1 and screenshot 5. Links I've posted are to my Flickr account.2) There's still a subtantial amount of blurriness, my settings in FSX are quite high, however I would expect to see better textures when approaching GVA. See screenshot 2 & screenshot 3. Any ideas on this one?3) Is there a particular way to get rid of the high bloom from AI aircraft landing lights? Initially I thought there was a problem and I was seeing 2 suns! See screenshot 4.4) As per Bojote's recommendations, I have the internal FPS in FSX set at unlimited and have FPS locked at 30 using the external software. However, the FPS still jumps from 20s to above 30 and back again. Is this just normal or should it be relatively steady?I increased the LOD_Radius from 4.5 to 6.5 and it didn't make much difference apart from impacting on the FPS. As I've said, my in game settings are set relatively high so would've thought blurries shouldn't be much of a problem.I can provide additional details of settings or my FSX.cfg if this would be of use?Season's Greetings.Adam Adam Smith
December 19, 201114 yr Hi Adam and seasons greetings to you as well! What setting are you using for filtering in FSX and what method are you using for your graphics card settings (Inspector or nHancer or the Nvidia control panel?Jim Jim Wenham
December 19, 201114 yr Like Jim said, filtering could make a difference. Also, I don't notice a big LOD Radius difference until I set it at 7.5 or higher (I have mine at 8.5). As for the FPS, are you sure you're using the limiter correctly? You need to start fsx with the fsx.limited.exe file, not the usual FSX shortcut (you may be doing this, but just making sure).However, I prefer the program FSBooster v2.0 developed by FSPS (you can buy it at the Flight Sim Pilot Shop). It allows better control over FSX than the settings panel does, and should give you a fair amount of FPS back (5-15, depending on where you are and what system you have). Also, it has a blurries eliminator that could help you.As for the grid, are you sure that's not supposed to be there? I can't really tell from the one screenshot, but it looks like concrete tiles. -Bram Osterhout
December 19, 201114 yr Author Hi Jim and Boeing247,Thanks for your replies.I did have nHancer 2.5.9 installed as per NickN's guide but wasn't terribly keen on the ingame looks. I have the nVidia control panel which came with the drivers for my graphics card, I also have inspector but I don't particularly know what to do with these. If you can recommend how I could use these or point me in the direction of some good instructions, I'd be very grateful. I am using Trilinear filtering in FSX with anti-aliasing enabled.I load FSX using the bat file created by the frame rate limiter.The screenshots don't really show up the grid too well; it's a diagonal grid. If you look at the original size here you'll see it across the green and the runway. In this screenshot from the air, you can see they go all the way through the FSDT scenery. The concrete tiles on the taxiway are supposed to be there, so not complaining about those :)I'll have a look at FSXBooster, I had contemplated it in the past but read about some negative issues that it gave some users. These issues have probably been ironed out since.Thanks again,Adam Adam Smith
December 19, 201114 yr Have a look here for info on using Nvidia Inspector by NickN.http://www.simforums.com/forums/fsx-and-nhancer-settings-for-new-drivers-updated_topic36586.htmlI pretty much use the settings he recommends and have very good results. Don B
December 19, 201114 yr Author Thanks for your reply Don and the link to NickN's guide to Nvidia Inspector.I have just completed a circuit in the MD-11 from Geneva and very pleased with the results. Visibility is much better, blurries are few and far between the criss-cross grid has gone. I get around 20-25FPS which is much better than my previous FSX install.Best wishes to everyone at Christmas and for 2012.Adam Adam Smith
