Fsx Settings

[cgentil 1]

Hi,

 

So I just would like to know if my settings are good with my specs.

 

1st my specs

 

I5 3570K @ 3.40Ghz

P8Z77-V

GTX 670 2GB

8GB RAM

 

Looks fine?

 

Well now there are my nvidia inspector settings:

 

 

FSX.cfg tweaked by bojote.

FSX sliders:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other thing I got is white AI airplanes (IVAO__MTL) and the airport cars, look:

 

If I see from far the airport cars, busses it look white, and from near looks normal.

 

In black is bug in red is ok, black is far, red is near.

 

 

AI traffic:

 

 

Well, I ran Airbus X Extended, with ASN, ORBX Global + Vector + openLC, REX 4 Texture Direct at Lisbon V2 got an average FPS of 15-20 locked to 45 at nvidia inspector. According to my specs, this frames are good or can be improved?

 

All help is apreciated.

You need to set AA=on in the FSX settings. Some of your settings won't work e'g. AA_MODE_METHOD_SUPERVCAA_64X_4v12.
 
But never mind, instead try these NI settings shows 8x but try 2x and 4x, and also shows a working vsync setup.
 
should be getting this
 
Avoid unlimited set at least 30 fixed fps and 1/2 vsync, 20 1/3, or 15 1/4. Otherwise looks good.

With this will give more fps?

 

With AA on in FSX sets it will use FSX AA instead of nvidia, or i'm wrong?

 

Btw, my graphics are good, I just would like to know if with all this add-ons this fps is acceptable with this specs or can increase with other settings.

[cgentil 1]

Look at my graphics:

 

[SteveW 1,792]

Looks good don't touch. Do you have anything in your [GRAPHICS] section like MultiSamplesPerPixel? (oops forgot you posted that)

 

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try the setup with AA=on and go for a blast, won't make it any faster but may make it a little smoother on edges.

[cgentil 1]

Nop,

 

check out my cfg above.

[SteveW 1,792]

sorry my edit crossed posts :}

[cgentil 1]

sorry my edit crossed posts :}

Don't worry.

 

You're referring AA for where? NI or FSX?

FSX's AA is bad.

[SteveW 1,792]

Yes your DX9 mode is good. I was thinking of DX10 for the AA setup, still could be interesting if you're looking for something to tweak. Actually DX10 would get you more fps.

[cgentil 1]

For now I dn't want use DX10, so my configs are good enough, right?

 

These 20-30, sometimes 15-20 fps on cockpit are normal so... ?

[SteveW 1,792]

yes, that's quite good. can't see anything other than dropping LOD slider to middle

[cgentil 1]

yes, that's quite good. can't see anything other than dropping LOD slider to middle

Ok thanks.

 

I changed some entries on cfg.

 

LOD_RADIUS=7.500000

 

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400

What about white texture if looked from far? Any solution on this?

[SteveW 1,792]

you may find stuff so far away that it's too small to render with 7.5, I think 6.5 is around a sensible max, but loads a lot of scenery can OOM. TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=50

 

the white pixels, shimmering trees and stuff is due to the transparency AA setting not working in your config. It requires FSX AA=on because it's done in the sim. If you try out my config which is for DX10 but is OK DX9, it may help, the AA is still rendered on the GPU.

 

Anyway can always go back to your settings. Interesting though.

[cgentil 1]

Thanks for your help, so you suggest to change to

 

LOD_RADIUS=6.500000

 

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=50

 

Right?

 

If I put FSX AA on it'll be bad...

[SteveW 1,792]

if your sim is slow can come down to 5.5, the AA, just have to experiment, I was trying 4x4 [4x4 Supersampling (D3D only)] seems good, maybe compare that to AA_MODE_METHOD_SUPERVCAA_64X_4v12

 

maybe don't need the texture filtering NI section if on in the sim, worth a try, tidy if not needed. look at the sky for banding shows up if filtering is no good
