FFTF questions

Recommended Posts

Hi all-

I have a few questions regarding FFTF before I alter the cfg. Here goes.

I'm running Unlimited/Vsync. What is the defaulted P3D FFTF under this unlocked senario?

Now, not knowing what that is, if I entered an alternative FFTF under this unlocked senario, would it override the default?

Thanks,

Mark

Under any FPS case, FFTF defaults to 0.33.

The valid ranges are 0.10 to 0.99 - all other settings are ignored.

If you put any setting in the .cfg file, P3D will use that instead of the default

Have you tried using FFTF Dynamic from FSPS?. See here: https://www.fspsstore.com/fsps-products/fsps-fftf-dynamic-p3dv4.html

Look for yourself, all is explained at the website. I was a little bit skeptic before buying it, but after I decided to buy and try it, my P3D experience is a lot smoother. Definitely it works!.

I'll take a look at this. 

I'm not a fan of installing services to manage services though.

But, you never know 😀

+1 - using in FSX:SE.

First and only time I’ve ever bought one of these “managing apps” but it has given me a smoother sim.


Best regards

I'm going to buy this later on today.

I'll report back.

One thing you should test in your own system after the installation an running of FFTF Dynamic, is that if it's better to keep your FPS locked or set to Unlimited. On my system, having the FPS locked (27 in my case) worked out better than having unlimited frames.

Got it installed last night and I run unlimited as well.

Doesn't work with that configuration. Click-click-click as it apparently updates the sim. I'm using the AGL setting. Not good.

I'll try locked sometime later today.

Heretical question: do you really see a difference between using the FFTF Dynamic Tool and not using the tool after you limited your FPS to 27? According to your signature, your rig should be able to maintain those 27 FPS in almost every situation no matter what FFTF value you use. At least in my case, since I upgraded my hardware and locked the FPS to 30, I was able to stop playing around with FFTF, as the higher FPS with lower FFTF was anyway capped to 30 and on heavy airports I still have 20+ FPS with the default FFTF value. No need for a tool that provides me 2-3FPS extra in heavy situations...

AnkH-

Your reply goes to my point up the thread about adding systems to manage systems and the overhead that uses. I'm going to try locked later when I'm at my machine to see what's up with that setting. Sure doesn't work with unlimited on my machine.

I only just googled the FFTF. Is this something that everyone is using that I'm missing out on? It's 20 euro, is it really this much worth it?

I have the same combo and it using the FFTF Dynamic software with great experience. I am using the AGL model and FFTF value at 0.40 above 5000 feet.

Unlimited FPS in P3D is 0.01 FFTF i think be default.

You have a powerful rig, clocked at 5 GHz, wow!.

In my case, the use of FFTF Dynamic has provided a smoother experience, no matter to which value I locked my FPS (27 or 30). I have experimented a lot with the FFTF settings and with locked and unlocked FPS, believe me, and got to a point I can say I'm very satisfied with my current settings and stutters reduced to a minimum on my system.

In fact, I've always been looking for constant and steady FPS values, no matter which are the values, even with FPS as low as 20, to reduce stuttering and short pauses.

P3D default is 0.33 at any fps setting.
