FSX Fiber Accelerator?

[n4gix 5,003]

Disconnected from the sim rate - not being synchronised with a constantly changing unlimited. :rolleyes:

 

Try the panning exercise I emphasised above in unlimited mode and see how it feels unable to turn freely.

 

Anyway, if the app can smooth out the overall fps it's a winner.

Steve, I think you missed my question entirely. You wrote "Using the fixed setting makes the controls feel asynchronous." If using "unlimited" is "asynchronous," then "fixed" has to be "synchronous..."

 

I'm not challenging your conclusions, just the possible typographical error. B)

[SteveW 1,793]

The emphasis was on being connected to the unlimited fps Bill, I urge you to re-read my comments.

Asynchrony, in the general meaning, is the state of not being synchronized.

 

Synchronized; cause to occur or operate at the same time or rate.

 

 

You are inferring as in 'a constant rate' Bill, (probably because i'm also mentioning fixed fps), whereas I am referring to 'at the same time'. As in the control 'feeling' is stuck to the changing rate of unlimited.

...anyway let's hope that's not detracted from my point which was trying to say consistent fps is best and "if the app can smooth out the overall fps it's a winner"

ISSUE

Microsoft Net Frame

 

Can someone please clear up the ambiguity related to whether or not a user MUST have Microsoft's NET Framework 3.5 SP1?

 

I have NET Framework 4.5.1. 

 

I have an older computer that started out with Net Frame 2.0 or something similar, and it has been updated over the years to its present state.  Does this mean that elements of 3.5 are still on my computer and making it so that this software will run properly which it appears to do.

 

Or, is it absolutely imperative that 3.5 SP1 MUST be on ANY computer for this to work?

Thanks for the tip, that's probably what my problem is with it, I'll give it another shot. Just to be clear though, ae you saying turn off VSYNC completely, or just don't use the 1/2 refresh option?

You can try with both VSync on and off to see what is working best for you.

Just don't limit the framerate otherwise than in FSX itself.

And don't set the maximum framerate to Unlimited.

 

I myself have set the maximum framerate to 30 in FSX and as lowest in FSX FA.

In NVI I use VSync forced on, but will try with off also the next following days.

 

This is better for my bankaccount than buying new hardware for los of money , just to have a higher lowest framerate...

Look into Control Panel / Programs / Turn Windows features on or off

Do you have DotNet 3.5 there and if so check the 2 entries.

 

Download Sp1 for DotNet 3.5 and install it.

I have tried the demo at Squamish with everything turned on and the A2A Cherokee. This is the worst performing scenario that I have. On the runway looking north I get 8 or 9 fps. If I turn on the accelerator those numbers will increase by about 3 to 4 frames. In heavy scenarios I can see this helping. The simulator seemed smooth but I did notice that my scenery wasn't fully loading and roads became blurry. Even if I paused the simulator the scenery would not clear up. Once I turned off the accelerator the scenery would clear up. I followed the manual step by step. I have used all my demo time and I'm not convinced that this is worth $40 so I will wait and see what others experience before I will buy.  I have a I7 930 not OC and a 760 video card.    Josh

 

Similar experience as noted in my earlier post except that while I did not some blurries that popped back in focus, I was getting this experience anyway, but now I can actually fly this area when before I couldn't.  Once I shut off some of the most demanding elements with the control panel I got rid of the blurries and had a better flying experience as well.

.Net major versions (i.e. 2, 3, 4) are NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. It's possible and quite probable if you are a FS users to have all three versions of .Net installed. As has been posted a couple of times by the developer in this thread, a new installer is being made that will make sure all prerequisites are met at the point of install, it will even point you to the downloads to remedy the situation if something is missing from your PC.

Do you mean this?

[Andydigital 93]

1.1 installers are out. Details in the thread below.

Hi all again,

 

NEW VERSION 1.1

 

Commercial full version:

Direct link: Full 1.1 version

 

Demo link: At the product description: 

 

-----------

 

Fixes:

- Users (mostly with win 7) updated .net to 4.5 may had lost parts of " System.Management I.O. " from old .net 2.0 , so application was crashing with no apparent reason. Override of the function with new logic : Fixed

- Auto Updater now works

- Minor GUI fixes.

 

---------

 

To be fair with those who lost the ability to 'play' with the demo due to problems, we re-packed it , so you now have another 5 x 60 minutes, even you who used it w/o problems...

Use it wisely

 

EDIT: Damn it,  Andy! Users are now faster than the developer

Wait... so I've been using FSX for a few years, dealing with okay (sometimes low) FPS, and then FSPS comes along and fixes these problems? I'm a believer!!! FSPS, if you're reading this, you are currently revolutionizing the FSX world as we know it. The last thing I want to do is switch to P3D. Just a few questions that probably have been cleared up:

 

Has the FSX license (previously owned by Microsoft) been signed over to you?

 

Where's your official website?

 

Whether the above question is answered, do you plan to do continuous work on FSX, and release it to the public? I don't mean some small add-on. I mean, are you going to keep doing serious stuff deep in the works of FSX the can change the simulator as it is?

 

If questions one and/or three have answers along the lines of yes, then I will be ecstatic!!!!

 

So, FSPS... thank you.

 

 

Joe.

Oh, and because we found out that users who had installed net 4.5 in win 7, MAY have some core elements of .net 2 - let's say "overwritten" , and as a result application crash with apparently no reason, we are preparing an update that will handle this issue. Stay tuned.

Please make an announcement when update will be done. I too wasted my demo with CLR20r3 issue. Win7 x64 HomePremium

 

Edit: Oops...  :blush:

@Jettix .. 2 posts above mate !

[krazyk 157]

I want to give this a try but I've already got a tweaked FSX cfg running with an external FPS limiter (got that from Bojotes website). Would I need to work with a fresh cfg or can I use this in tandem with all the manual tweaks I've already got?

[Joe Flyer2 3]

I'm having an issue.... When installing, it says "Error creating file:" C:\Users\[My User]\Appdata\Local\Temp\AITMP971\aifile.cab.

 

Then, as soon as I press the okay selection, it says I/O error 103.

 

From there, the installation is stuck on C:\Program Files (x86)\FSPS\FSX Fiber Accelerator\Manual.pdf.

 

The installation no longer proceeds from there. :(.

 

Can you provide any help, please? Thanks.

 

 

Joe.
