October 25, 201213 yr I'm looking to disable reflections, on both my airplanes, and scenery. Does anyone know how to do this? Also is there a tweak that reduces polygon counts in scenery? Thank you in advance. Connor Anderson
October 25, 201213 yr I think it's under options display uncheck aircraft display shadows on ground. uncheck aircraft displays shadows onself. Under scenery uncheck buildings or autogen displays shadows. If you can't find it I will get on my computer tomorrow and give you exact instructions. Or someone can beat me to it. Best of luck and happy flying. 5Take Care, Will Clark My computer: Intel 14900K, Motherboard ROR Maximus Z790 Formula, PSU Dark Power 1600, Ram DDR5 (7200) Vengeance 32GB CL38, ASUS 4090, Keyboard Logitech ASUS, Mouse ROCCAT LEADR Wireless, Corsair M.2 SSD 4TB x2, Headset Astro A50 Wireless, Microphone Elgato Wave 3, Stream Deck Elgato XL, GoXLR, Loopdeck Live, Chair Steelcase Gesture with Headrest, Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL ROG White, Custom Built water cooling, Ek Lian li xl distro plate, Fittings EK & Bitspower, Monitor LG C1 48 OLED, Desk Speakers Audio Engine A5+ White.
October 25, 201213 yr Not sure whether you are wanting to eliminate those annoying reflections on the windscreen and windows of default aircraft. If so, type in John Standard in your File Library search and you will get his freeware mod. Chris

October 25, 201213 yr You mean the reflections on the windscreen and the instruments? That would need some graphic editing since there isn't a dedicated option to turn them off. But I actually like them. :mellow: Same for the addon scenery. That would be a very specific option for just that one addon airport. Unless it comes with a config tool, your only way would be to edit some files by yourself. Just out of interest, which airport is the most annoying in that aspect?
October 26, 201213 yr Author The most annoying is FlyTampa Boston for me. It seems to give me the worst FPS, and the reflections are way out of wack. Do you know what program or software I could use to edit those files? Connor Anderson
October 26, 201213 yr What reflection effect are you referring to at Boston? If you're talking about the water reflections, you can tweak those in the FSX graphics options. Try setting the water quality to 2.x Low. If you are talking about reflections on glass buildings and the like, those are not true reflections but rather what are known as "environment maps", and on a modern computer they have virtually zero performance impact.
October 26, 201213 yr Do you know what program or software I could use to edit those files? My guess would be that any detailed graphics program can help you there. Perhaps ask some of the pros on how to edit and, first of all, find the right files. As said, these are different among addons. But molleh is right, don't expect any performance gains due to reduced or even deleted reflections on that level.
