Hello,

 

I guess the title is clear. I am getting issues I never had before, like hang ups, drops of framerate (10 vs 30).

 

Oke this is my system:
MSI 67-mainboard
Core i7-2600, @ 4.2 ghz, hyperthreading switched off
16GB memory DDR 1333
SSD
Nvidia GTX 580
Monitor 1920*1200

I guess not to bad.
FSX is set to a framerate of 30fps.

FSX consist of
SP2
Several Carenado planes
Several sceneries (ORBX, Switzerland Pro)
Other sceneries from Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
I am using Rex Essentials +.

Under DX9 the FPS where between 27-30 and regular and over areas with NL2000 it could drop to 15. Or even worse.
Fullscreen or windowed does not really make a difference.

When I select Dx10, the framerate drops to 25, windowed and 21 Fullscreen.

If I run the DX fixer too, the FPS drops windowed to 19 and fullscreen to 15.

 

When I am underway for an hour + give or take it 15-30 minutes, I suddenly see that little wheel that you see in Windows 7.
It looks like a black and white bitmap, and all drops to 8 fps. Everything is slugish.

I thought to be smart and used unlimited FPS.
Well that works pretty good. After 15 minutes I do a take off and suddenly a complete standstill of the sim, for minutes. One time I waited for over an hour and then it flies another 15 minutes till the next stop. But it keeps nice to the 44fps.

 

I even tried to throw away the fsx.config. That did not help at all.
 

I tried this: http://www.simforums.com/forums/drivers-nv-inspector-fsxcfg-complete-guide_topic36586.html

And you guess it, no solution.

 

Maybe someone is able to give me some tips, to solve my issues?
I am guessing that I have problems elsewhere, but I do not know where.

 

Greetings,

Robb,

You seem to have a system almost the same as mine.

Try the attached Nvidia Inspector and import it.

Also attatched is my FSX cfg, pick the bones out of it.

 

The JE_DX10.txt must be renamed JE_DX10.NIP before importing

 

Edit: Read post #7 from PJ. I forgot to tell you that bit of important info

 

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/423023-pmdg737ngx-instument-panel-issue/

That did not help at all.
Yet I do not know which bones you meant.
I picked out the highmem fix. But it stays around 20fps in windowed mode and 15 in full screen.
As soon as Rex is started, it jumps down to half of it, and I get that loading circle, after I add the GPS and undock it.

 

Her is my FSX.config.

That did not help at all.

As you seem to lack manners, like a simple "Thank you, but that did not work" I suggest going to the Rex forum. Don't forget to say please.

O sorry.
I had posted that, just before I went to bed.
Had been working for 14 hours, did do some quick testing and thought, just before turning to bed, that I post my results. And that was around 2 in the morning.

So THANK YOU, for your effort so far. And my excuses, for not telling in the first place.

Despite, using REX or not, I loose about 10fps, while using DX10.
I also get those drops to 8fps, if I use the tool.

So in short. the tool does not work. Eventhough the fs2004 planes do not look white anymore.
I go back to DX9, and write off the 30 euro.

And on a later date, when I have more time, I do a complete reinstall of FSX, and see then, if it works.

 

Rob

Try to disable vsync completely. Including 1/2" refresh rate in NI.

The major issue in your cfg, Robb - is your traffic.

 

[TrafficManager]
AirlineDensity=20
GADensity=20
FreewayDensity=20
ShipsAndFerriesDensity=25
LeisureBoatsDensity=24
IFROnly=0
AIRPORT_SCENERY_DENSITY=3

 

Here is a list of cfg setting for you to set into the config, so that you can get an idea of how much better the sim can run by lowering everything just a little.....

 

Thanks for "Tipping your hat" to Julian, Robb. We're all volunteers here, and though we may not go looking for kudos and thanks - a rude response will often result in a rude answer! We appreciate your honesty, and sympathize with anyone who has to work a 14-hour day!

 

I hope this (your "insane" traffic! ) - when pulled back will fix the issue. It should.

 

All the best,

 

pj

 

 

So THANK YOU, for your effort so far. And my excuses, for not telling in the first place.

Thanks Robb. As PJ posted, adjust your settings and let us know. Don't give up on Dx10, it is well worth tinkering with FSX to get the best results.

Take everything into account, including clouds and water. I had to fiddle with my settings. Fly over water and over land and see when you have water or clouds in you POV and your frames drop. I used to gate DX10 for its irregularities, but now it runs as smooth as butter and on pretty high settings too.

Will look into it this evening (not every day 14 hours...).
And ofcourse, I will tell the results here.
I admit, I had not thought of the traffic as an issue, as the slider looks pretty much on the low side in the config of FSX itself.
Guessing putting it to half of what it is?

Thanks for the tips.

 

Rob

Put all traffic to 0 will be a good start, and then slowly raise the numbers up

Rob - please - read the doc I included for you in post #7. There's no point in doing one thing when you have many issues. That's just guessing again. 

 

pj

You also have ShowLabels on  I think.

@Stevejp
You are correct. But not all. I thought only name, distance etc.
@ the rest
I did read that document #7. And adjusted most items. Not all.
I halved the traffic.
That resulted in no traffic at all.
FPS where in windowed mode still around 21-25 fps. Full frame was suddenly 29-30fps.
So I have been flying around, pretty close to the ground, for over 1,5 hours. And happy that I was?

Suddenly I wanted to know where I was hanging around. Fired up Plan-G. FPS in windowed mode dropped 1 fps.
Time for REX.  Euh, what a problem. Somewhere between 8 and 17 fps. Still good flyable in Windowed mode.
When I switched to Full screen, it went up to 30fps again. And it crashed after 30 seconds..

So in general, I am happy. If only Rex would work properly?

 

What did I not change?
BLOOM_EFFECTS=1 (in document value 0)

 

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40 (in document it was 80. I thought 40 must be better then 80 anyway).

Not added: FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.1 because not knowing what it does do.

Did not add DisablePreload=1.Not sure if I should take it out, as I have SSD?

LENSFLARE=1 in documet the value is 0.
IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=4 In documentatie 3. I doubted about what the effect would be.

LOD_RADIUS=4.500000 In document 3.5
WATER_EFFECTS=7 In document 3. There is no water where I live, except a few rivers. Changed it now to 4.

MESH_COMPLEXITY=75 Lower value then in Document.
MESH_RESOLUTION=20 Lower value then in Document.
TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=25 Lower value then in Document.

ShipsAndFerriesDensity=2 In document a bit lower
LeisureBoatsDensity=2 In document a bit lower

AIRPORT_SCENERY_DENSITY=3 In document 1.


Considering all things that I did not change means the others allready made me happy.
Not sure if I should continue with the few above.
And when Rex is not available, there is no issue, but it is, when it is actived.
Is that something for the Rex forum?

Thanks for your help sofar.

 

Rob

Hello again,

 

I took out bloom, and changed more items like mentioned in the document.
Now I could fly with Rex + overdrive in fullscreen, around 26-30 fps.

Sometimes the fps dropped to 7, and occasional to 1, but it recovered allways back to 26-30.
Most trouble I had, while following the river Rhine and Mosel in Germany. Pretty much winding around.

So far I am happy. One thing I would like to see a solution for.
In DX9, and full screen, I could open a GPS and place that on my second monitor.
Now in DX10 it seems to function too, but after a couple of minutes it disappeares, or I get that loading mousepointer. No issues in windowed mode, but the framerate is lower (around 16). Which is also the oposite of DX9.

Thanks again.
