Prepar3D.cfg

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

This is my best Prepar3D.cfg configuration. I have about 15fps in VC cockpit in the 737NGX PMDG.

 

This is my computer:

 

AMD Phenom II X6 1035T Processor 2.60GHz

8GB Ram DDR3

NVidia GTX 650 2GB GDDR5

 

How can I improve my comfiguration?

Wish I could help you. You can remove Highmemfix as one of the dev's stated it is not being used. The fiberframe I am not sure about. One thing I noticed is you have a [trusted] section. I am assuming that PMDG is reading this as P3D I am fairly confident that it does not use that section in it's cfg file. You also have a texturemax load which I do not believe is being used either. I would double check some of your added entries as many are no longer being used by p3d.

My first question is, is Prepar3d stuttering at 15fps? If not I would leave it alone, P3D is a much smoothing sim than FSX at lower fps.

"I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
 

You have 2 graphics cards loaded in the cfg file. If you only have one, remove the reference to the other.

 

Your buffer pool entry appears to contradict itself.

 

Do some testing, first put // in front of use pools=0 and see how that performs
