Cannot run FSX anymore

[panosbilios 0]

Hello guys,

 

I write to this forum as my last resort before I guit using FSX and return to

to FS 2004. First, is my system that bad?: AMD--FX-8150, (I know it's not intel) 8 GB ram,

nividia GTX-650, (1 gig), I am getting in Corfu X airport, with FSX dowloaded wheather 6-11 FPS,(pmdg NGX)

scales mid to left , either I must be doing something utterly wrong or my system is for the trash bin.

 

I have tried many tweeks and suggestions to no avail, I have simply run out of ideas,

even with the default cessna with unlimited frames I get at max 15 frames which can drop to 5

and then back to 15 (stutters?). Is the only solution to invest on a I7?

 

Looking forward to suggestions

Thanks

Can you post youre fsx.cfg plse. so we can analyze it..

[jostytosty 1]

Eventough it is not an Intel, de CPU doesn't seem to bad to me = 8 true cores with a reasonable speed. I suppose you used the affinity tweak, in your case, since it's 8 true cores the tweak should read 255 [=all 8 cores] or 254 =[7 cores, first core off, but play around with it a bit using the sientific calculator of Windows] When i'm informed correctly the AMD's overclock very well [but mind the cooling] maybe you could pump things up to 4.2 GHz.

Use the bufferpools tweak:

[bufferPools]

UsePools=1

RejectThreshold=126976

[ //512K=524288//256K=262144//124K=126976//96K=98304 ]

This will send more textures to your 650GTX

But maybe you've tried that one aswel.

Set the ai roadtraffic to something like 25 [it is very demanding] set water not too high, but medium or less.

Turn of light blooming.

Consider a SSD for "X" or a Velociraptor.

6-11 FPS seem to few frames for your rig, you must be able to pump things up.

Don't give up, keep tweaking, keep flying!

Thanks for the replies guys!

 

I added the statements in my config file as jostytosty suggested,

and I did noticed some inprovement in the frames, but the main problem

remains that is the stuttering, I can have frames up to 24-28 and al

of a suddent it drops down to 5-9, it feels like the plane hits a wall,

it becomes for a few seconds impossible to fly.

 

I attach a copy of my config file

its a clean copy(I reinstall FSX plus the suggestions

 

 

Thanks

Panos

Rather than a reject threshold, have you tried BP=0.

With a 1gb card you should mange it. Performance should be even better.

 

" I am getting in Corfu X airport, with FSX dowloaded wheather 6-11 FPS,(pmdg NGX)"

 

A demanding add-on in a detailed, thus demanding payware airport, is bound to be somewhat taxing.
