Recently increased my LOD radius and decreased autogen settings which had a very nice effect on visuals. With a few tweaks to the ENB mod as well the environment is looking bloody marvelous.

 

I'm wondering if raising these settings:

 

MeshComplexity=80
MeshResolution=22

 

has any effect? I'm guessing not...

 

Are you talking about FSX?  I hadn't  heard of these mods for Flight.

Yes, Flight. The ENB mod which a lot of us used with FSX also works well with Flight:

And changing the LOD radius setting in the CFG has a pretty good effect too (I have mine at 6.50000).

Where is that cfg file at? If you fool around with the LOD doesn't put more of a load of the computer?

Username>AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Flight for the CFG, which needs to be opened in a text editor and have the line

 

Custom=1

 

inserted (anywhere) for changes to work.

 

Increasing the LOD undoubtedly causes more work, but the trade off reducing scenery density to high from maximum, and increasing the LOD is definitely worth it.

Custom=1 has to be in the configuration section for it to do anything.

Early on, there was a bit of experimentation in the Flight Cfg, but at least in my case, I found the game had already been well balanced by the development team, and fiddling around was more likely to do harm (or nothing at all) than good.

I guess that's why I had forgotten about the earlier thread.  I'm fine with Flight just the way it is. In my opinion, it's the best flight simulator as far as graphics go that I've seen yet so I don't feel the need to tweak it.

I agree with Devon and Rick. I feel the development team knows a whole lot more about tweeking the product than I do. They wouldn't un-tweek it just  for spite.

Spend enough time tweaking FSX,  I use Flight to get away from that.

 

Flight tweaking ..set all sliders to max on desktop...to high on laptop...DONE :lol:

What's really strange about the devs is that they are all tech geeks! :lol:   And so they love to tweak. Because of that, they have always left the option available for their fellow geeks. So, if you like to do that, enjoy yourself knowing that the devs are on your side. B)

 

Me, personally, I don't bother. Flight is so well optimized that I get great performance and visuals even with almost all sliders turned to max. And I never bothered to tweak previous versions of FS either, because I have better things to do, such as... flying! :rolleyes:

 

Best regards.

I love flight because I can switch it on and go, I never get that feeling I always get with FSX that if you just tweak that setting a little everything will be so much better. In reality, it rarely is.

 

It did take me many hours of frustration to get it to where it is today on my system FSX that is, and when you sit back and analyse what you've done its actually not very much. I've got to the point now though where I fly it more than I tweak it and that's got to be a good thing.

 

FLIGHT on the other hand I have never bothered to tweak or have ever felt the need to do so. It is good that the dev's left the option open though, for us serial tweakers haha.

Thanks gents, appreciate most are happy with vanilla Flight and I agree it's very good as is.

 

Having said that, does anyone know the answer to the original question....? :unsure:

I would be interested in the answer as well, but I suspect it may turn out to be that after a few attempts in that direction, very few (maybe nobody) went on to explore those settings in detail.

I'd say yes, probably, at least to the same degree it has an effect on FSX.
