TEXTUREMAXLOAD=?

[virtualstuff 751]

Hi Mike (mikeymike),

 

I use a value of 30 for TextureMaxLoad. This is likely to be system dependent.

Also, I found leaving TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT at 30 works well for me.

I guess sometimes we have to accept that LM know what they are doing

 

Regards,

Mike

 

Correct that is what I'm using to TML=30 and with TBM=100 there is actually a formula to calculate what is the best setting for your hardware.... ;-)

No need to overclock mate.

4.4 GHz is enough power

It's all about balance.

You said non oc so I assumed it was at its stock speed. 4.4ghz is a decent overclock in fact.

Doesn't that only worked for locked frames?

It's not overclocked it is stock

Yes and No ;-) in case of the SIM NO but of course locked external ;-)

So you will need a locked value.

It's asking for problems in general not to work with a locked value.

Nope the stock clock speed for the 4790k is 4.0ghz so that is overclocked. Just that it's an automatic overclock .

Hmm I was under the impression that locking the fps externally wouldn't affect any in game settings. Has that changed? From what I remember for tweaks such as TBM and TML as well as FFTF you'd have to lock the fps internally (which was and is still a stutter fest for me)

FFTF I found never us full the other two are since FSX time with me and are working very well (despite this is a different sim)...

Locking local here external (via NVI) is working fine I'm at 40 FPS and it's between 39 and 42 no huge spikes smooth sailing :-)

The opinions about locking FPS internal, well I find it's still not working as it should or could be... 

[TheBoom 31]

I think this has been discussed before and it was established that in order to use TML and TBM with the formula an internal limit has to be set.

 

Because the external limiters simply set a maximum fps target but do not communicate in any way with the sim settings. However the internal fps limit communicates with many of the in game/sim settings and tweaks and that's why it produces so many different results with different settings and tweaks.

 

So I may be wrong but I think that by doing that your sim is just reverting to default values or in other words your TML and TBM additions are being nullified.

 

Edit : TML may actually have an impact with unlimited frames. But not TBM.

 

 

 

Mike I also just realized you said you are running unlimited frames. In that case FFTF will do absolutely nothing for you. The fiber frame time fraction tweak has to be used with an Internal FPS limit.

From the P3D site:

TextureMaxLoad=6

Steve you know my system should I put this in my cfg. file - thank you

Leave it out Rich, not really needed. As the guys are saying, mostly this comes into play when locking and setting various mounts of autogen or complexity of scenery.

Well test local ;-) and no it's not reverting to default values tested of course lol...

To add it all depends on your hardware and software in use not one config is the same ;-)

Much thanks Steve you the Man  :wink:

It's not so much setting a Fixed fps that's a requirement, it's just that fps flapping around with Unlimited means no sensible value can be ascertained. However using the NI limit and Vsync+TB+Unlimited is similar in that a fairly consistent fps is maintained. After all, the Fixed setting still blasts away making the next frame as soon as it can.

I was getting the slow texture loading as described by the OP, and after reading Steve's post I set a TBM value of 180, and the slow loading has ceased. I have my fps locked @30 in P3D.

[SteveW 1,792]

Nice work Julian. Good idea to try that since it can find a sweet spot. Depends on a lot of factors, the fps and scenery complexity, screen size...

[mikeymike 357]

Thanks for the responses guys

 

So I should delete fftf have fps locked at 30 vsync tripple buffer off and TBM at 180 for best results?

 

Cheers

Mike

Hi

Were you getting slow loading textures (split second) at only large airports as I have or the whole scenery in general?

 

Thanks
