January 25, 201214 yr Because of very bad perormance I decided to investigate and make comparissons with an old FSX.cfg file I had saved,This one had a Bufferpools section,whereas the active one on my installtion doesn't, I added the line to the bottom of the active one. Doesn't FSX during installation detect hardware and adjusts it self to it?Why does anyone think the [bufferpools] section didn't show in my latest install?I'm also getting more RAM for my machine to get better performance by adding 2GB more...
January 25, 201214 yr Bufferpools is a “additional command” and not generated on a re-build.Ram works best in matched pairs. 2x2GB would be better. The slow processor and video card are a bigger problem.Dave Edited January 25, 201214 yr by OldMaintChief
January 25, 201214 yr I agree with Dave. Your CPU and graphics card are just not up to the task of getting good frame rates and image quality. FSX requires the latest hardware to enjoy. I just upgraded to a core i5, 8G RAM, and a GTX 560ti video card. Couple that with fast RAM and a good motherboard and I can FINALLY run this sim at acceptable image quality and nice frame rates. That is the only way to get this pig to run Im afraid.
January 25, 201214 yr Author I have added the line [bufferpools] at the end of the .cfg file...Still have to test. A new processor and video card is a new computer around these parts. Ihave been looking at these RAM:PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 240pin and still wih shaky hands finding out how to open the computer?
January 25, 201214 yr Author I believe this Bufferpool line creates itself when FSX installs and detects the hardware...? If it didn't in my last install and I just have added and tested it ( It hasn't helped at all,in the contrary it's made it worse to load...I should delete the line again?
