Disabling default autogen file for increased fps

[Virtualwombat 4]

Hi Folks, Just installed Flight Scenery's Rhode Island package. One recommendation in the documentation is to try disabling this file by re-naming it:C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9Autogendefault.xmlThis works really well, with very large increases in frame rates on my system.But what effect will that have on the default scenery?Cheers,N.

None that I have ever seen. It only seems to have an effect on autogen scenery--removing the "cute" eye candy such as the fast food joints, etc... I can't see any of that stuff above a couple thousand feet anyway, so I never bothered to restore my default.xml file and have flown without it for a long time with no issues.-John

Yeah, you lose a part of the autogen 3D objects, of which I can't live without. Luckily the patch cured the "autogen bug", so it is just a matter of how many 3D objects you want displayed.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International

Yeah the patch has at least improved the situation even though those fast food houses still cause a much bigger framerate hit than you would expect.I keep my default.xml file enabled now. With my high-end system FPS is not a problem even with the overhead caused by the incredibly inefficently programmed autogen scenery.
