I am running FSX DX11 and getting very good FPS. I have installed Steve Parson's shader fixes v3.2.2 and they are working fine. The following happened at 4,000 feet with low ceiling and just inland off the coast of Florida. They did clear up as I dropped altitude for an approach but I was curious if anyone might have an idea what caused this other than DX. Is it one of my settings?

 

Thanks!

Not even sure what I'm looking at. Those antennas showing up over water?

 

My first guess might be an antialiasing setting not working well with FSX, more specifically transparency or supersampling.

I believe those are artifacts due to bufferpools settings. Have you followed Paul J and the how to document on config tweaks with DX-10 and nvidia inspector settings? If you would post your fsx.cfg file and Im sure someone can get you going. Hope this helps and welcome to the new FSX.

I have NEVER changed anything directly in the fsx.cfg file. I have ONLY made change using the FSX settings, Xtreme FSX PC or the AMD Vision Control Center. Here is my fsx.cfg:

Hi Bob: I think you need to wind all of these settings down.

Your system cannot possible handle this load without causing a noticeable degradation in performance.

You have an AMD processor which is running at 4.0 GHZ, and a low-end GPU in the AMD 7700.

These are settings which would cripple the highest-end pc's of anyone on this site. Cumulatively - these settings are what is causing you anomaly.

Thanks Paul for taking the time to review my CFG and make recommendations. I will try those changes and see how much of an impact they have. I am an "old" engineer, so will probably make the changes in gradual steps so I can determine what changes are having what impact. Thanks again Paul for that input, it is VERY much appreciated.

Nothing to do with Dx10 but you have two SimObjectPaths.6 entries.

I doubt if both are working, possibly neither

It might help your AI aircraft to rename the second entry to

SimObjectPaths.7

They will all have an effect, Bob, because they're all too high for your system.

Hello

Aside from what other guys posted, you need to add the HIGHMEMFIX fix.

That is not a tweak, but a FIX Microsoft ACES forgot to enable for FSX SP2. See this

 

[GRAPHICS]

HIGHMEMFIX=1 // In short, it allows FSX to access more than 512 MB of video RAM

 

Cheers.

THANK YOU Gentlemen!!! I believe each of your suggestions have added significant stability to my FSX environment. I am now enjoying NO blurries, stutters, anomalies, etc. In addition my FPS has increased so that I now get a consistent 30-40 FPS and I have even seen it go into the 50's and 60's! Only thing I did find out is that with FSX AI plus MyTraffic AI I had to idle down the percentage on both Airline and GA traffic. If I did not I would be in constant "go around" mode!! :lol: THANKS!!!!!!

All due to "Team Work!!" :lol:

 

Glad we could help you enjoy DX10.
