Should all the Ultimate Terrain package be lower priority then other ad-dons for example should ultimate terrain be under all other scenery ad-dons?

 

 

Example

 

1.)vancouver

2.)Misty

3)Tongass

4.) Freight dogs

5.)France VFR

6.)Ult Terrain Euroupe

7.)Ultimate Terrain USA

8.)Ultimate terrain Canada Alaska

 

Heres how i have it setup

 

 

As an aside ... you will get better results if your scenery is installed by country and positioned/aligned West to East. Your cfg shows mighty confusion with US airports at top AND bottom.

 

The positioning of your Ultimate Terrain files appears correct.

Thanks for the repy I will work on that i just realized i had UT Alaska/canada and UT-USA Scattered and had to move them as well, So you recommend West to East and positioned by country ok, i will try lol thats alot of work.

 

Just moved the other UT Terrains tommorow i will work on the rest

Just curious about the statement on arranging files by country and west to east. Ive never heard or read that anywhere before so wondering where that info originates. My airport sceneries are pretty much all over the place but I would make the effort to organize them if I would see a performance improvement.

Organizing airports by location is mostly just organizational help for YOU.

But it helps the PC, too. It streamlines how hard the computer has to work to figure out overlapping relationships. The effect is minimal, but if you are starved for framerates, every little bit helps.

So is it really worth the effort to sit there and arrange the scenery in that specific order, as you can see i have alot to sort

Flight sim makes millions of calculations per minute to give us a virtual world to fly in.

 

The idea that it can't sort out a simple text file is kind of silly.

 

Yes some entries need to be in specific order in relation to each other, landclass below scenery as an example. And having some kind of organizational system makes it easier for us to keep track of what's what.

 

The sim does not care if you have airports in a west to east orientation.

 

If you don't believe me maybe you will believe Holger Sandmann- http://forum.avsim.n...r/#entry2595220

 

I did notice that you have many FREEFlow cities below the FREEFlow entries, I think they should be above.

 

When all else fails, read the install instructions.

Thanks for the info i will take care of the freeflow stuff today.

 

Ok i saw my Freeflow entries i should then place Freeflow Bahamas over Freeflow Bahamas land Class and all Freeflow Cities above that as well correct

I also Noticed on Lissabon the entries are in this order

 

Lissabon2008_SC

Lissabon2008_LC

Lissabon2008_ME

 

Is this correct, Im guessing ME=Mesh LC=Land Class SC= Scenery Should Mesh go Under Landclass?

 

Is this correct, Im guessing ME=Mesh LC=Land Class SC= Scenery Should Mesh go Under Landclass?

 

I don't have that scenery, so assuming that is correct, it does not matter where mesh goes in relation to the other two.

 

Was there instructions with the addon?

If i remember correctly i think there was an installer, Im not to sure it's been a while since i installed this scenery....I hvent seen any problems in the area so im guessing its ok although i am seeing a problem elsewhere and i cant figure out what may be causing it.

 

Here is the link to that issue http://forum.avsim.net/topic/400316-anyone-has-a-quick-fix-for-this/

I am mot sure this is related to your current problem, however, I noticed while scanning your scenery.cfg file that there are two Addon scenery layers listed: Layer 144 and Layer 245 in your original post.

I think you're right .... the effect would be VERY minimal. More importantly, it depends upon where the files are stored on the disk. I've found that even that is a stretch to see any improvement of frame rates.

you are right, the effect is VERY minimal - but it is something I have experience with. The first time I installed FS9, I did it on a computer with 512 Mbs RAM and a 533 Mhz CPU running Windows 98! The sim took up most of my 7 Gbs HD - and with all the settings left, I still only got crap FPS. In that situation, every little bit DID help!
