P3D smooth, finally

Featured Replies

Well, after much testing, I've finally got it for my box.

 

EVGA limiter set to 30.

Unlimited frame rate

AffinityMask=14

Bufferpools=0

NI=1/2 refresh rate

 

I think I'm good to go.

good for you..but you better write it on fsx forum i think. and also it is better to explain your topic with your rig spes and screenshots maybe

This is P3D.

 

I'll add my specs when I get home.

 

Cheers,

.. and another one who set this weird Bufferpools=0 in his cfg-file. It's useless in P3D v2!!!

Sorry Mark, not to be offending but this parameter sprays around now like the bird flu. One guy started it and the others blindly copied it.

It's almost as bad as suggesting this

 

Swimmingpools=0

I am a bit confused... I was under the impression that NI as of right now does not fully work with P3D.  Has something changed?  Does the vertical sync 1/2 refresh actually work?

Phil, as far as I understand, NI does work, but not all of the settings...

You need to test each setting for yourself and ignore the noise you may find here. I do this under high load scenarios such as FSDT at night with UTII at 60%. Also at FL240 with clouds at medium, shadows on. Both tests are in spot view and 360 degree rotation.

When I say each above, I mean one at a time. There are so many variables with each person's box that even though you may have an identical box, it's quite likely results will be different.

Found myself consistently tweaking instead of flying. Sad I fell into the easy trap which actually kept me from flying for enjoyment.  Found no joy in tweaking, just constant frustration.

 

For me I found the following after a long time of tweaking.

 

NO extra tweaks inserted (i.e AffinityMask, FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION, TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT adjustment) = smoothest for my machine

 

adjusted display and traffic setting to suit weather conditions

Never mix real life with a game.

Could everyone please make sure you have machine specs in your AVSIM profile so we can see what you used on what hardware?

Like I said...

 

...it's quite likely results will be different.
