Hey,

 

I have been battling with FSX sp2 for 6 months now, reading forums, tips, tricks, Word Not Allowed's guides and i am still struggling to get fsx smooth at 30fps. I still get regular "blurries" and stuttering. However that said i have now managed to stop all of the CTD and BSOD, witch is thanks to you guys! and FPUIC :Party:

 

I am however :Thinking: having trouble decyphering the hudge amount of info about fsx.cfg files and what to do in it, i have tried, but not really achieved my aim of curing the blurries and FPS. I am asking if some one could pass an eye over my config file and suggest any COA.

 

the add ons i have is:

 

REX Essentials

737 NGX

757 Captain

Shade

ENB Series.

GEX Europe

 

Thank-you for your help so far! :Party:

 

Jay

Settings in FSX and NI:

Here are the differences between your cfg and mine, Jay:. NI settings look ok.

Probably because you're using a dual core CPU (or were at some point) and wanted to limit the scenery fetching to one thread (and thus one core) leaving the other core to handle the simulation without being bogged down in scenery loading.

 

At least, that's why people usually set MAX_ASYNC_BATCHING_JOBS, usually to a value of 1 less than their CPU cores.

 

Btw, juvenile, but ...

 

ActiveWindow**leTextColor=255,255,255

 

I laughed, gotta love language filters on forums.

Could be, Nikki. I have about eight cfg files, and they all show as "3" except the VFR & VFRDX10 config files... hmmmph! I was using a C2D prior to the 950, which was prior to this 2600K. Old age creeping up. Thanks for the info - it's now changed to 3.

i'd also suggest running your fsx.cfg through bojote's automatic tweaker and see what it suggests-> http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

 

that's the only tweaks i use, whatever it did, i'm lazy about researching that stuff but it gave me nice boost off of the default cfg settings.

 

you also might want to try running unlimited frames intead of 30 and see how it flies.. in my experience it really kills performance...limiting to 30 won't give me a solid 30 it gives me like solid 20, but with it off i get upwards of 40-60...( with lighter planes anyway..),,and your system is waaaay faster than mine...edit- i notice you're running the 1/2 vsync tweak so maybe that's not an option... still might be worth to try for an experiment i guess

 

edit2 - might wanna try turning down the traffic a bit that is also a big killer, try 20% maybe

 

cheers

-andy crosby

I would also suggest turning down traffic as a first test.

 

Also try Freeway traffic=0.
