Buffer-pools i'm confused please help :)

Recommended Posts

Hello can someone recommend which "Pool Size" I should use for my FSX-SE system.

Specs:

I5 8600K @4.8GHZ

GTX1060 6GB

8GB RAM

 

At the moment my size is default

[BUFFERPOOLS]
UsePools=1

I know you can change it to hundreds of combinations, can anyone who has a similar setup recommend a size for me or should I leave it off?

 

-Thanks Ollie

See the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide - https://www.avsim.com/files/file/41-avsim-basic-fsx-configuration-guide/.

Strongly recommend they not be used, especially with an i5 8600K system.
