December 5, 20187 yr Hi, I flew out of EDDK yesterday in the PMDG747-8F towards Dubai and noticed that my system (I7-4770K@4,6 HT off, GTX1080TI) was struggling with FTX GES at low altitude (badly need FFTF to give me 0,40-0,50 above 5000feet , as i am running unlimited FPS) and came across the old value UseGlobalTerrainView=False in the P3D.CFG which i remember had =on so every cameras did not need to reload textures . didnt see much differents but anyone using it still ? As i climbed out i noticed textures was getting better , also in the distance as i have used Robs tweak for texture distance. Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe
December 5, 20187 yr I still have it in my config in P3Dv4.4, but just because it was there in v4.3 (I added it). However, never observed a real difference, but also no disadvantage, ergo it is still in my config.

December 5, 20187 yr The original setting was 0.33 for FFTF, I experimented with 0.01 and the region purge setting from 16 to 1 and seen a good result in 4.4 MSFS2020 ,P3D V5, Ryzen 3600 4.2GHZ, 32GB 3000 Ram, Nvidia GTX 1600 Super 6GB, 22 inch 75 hz Monitor , Windows 10 204, Toposim, Orbx Global, Vector, Europe N & S California LC, England Regions, England, PMDG 737, 777, Majestic Q400 and Aerosoft Airbus A318-20.
December 5, 20187 yr And another one posting FFTF=0.01... When do the people finally get that the lowest setting accepted by P3D is 0.1? I fear that we never get this placebo setting out of the simmers minds... Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

I fear that we never get this placebo setting out of the simmers minds... One question I have about this limit, however, is whether FFTF Dynamic, by presumably altering the value directly in program memory, is bypassing the range checks that P3D normally does for a parameter set in the Prepar3D.cfg file. It could well be that values below 0.1 are possible using the utility. Notably, the default lower value in v1.3 of FFTF Dynamic is 0.01--whether that's placebo or not hasn't been clearly established.

December 5, 20187 yr The Fact when you change it makes a difference might suggest you are correct.

December 7, 20187 yr Another old tweak working very well on my low end PC (i7 3700K / GTX 1060) is UsePools=0 in the [Bufferpools] section. I really get more FPS by setting that even on 4.4. Concerning FFTF, my best value is 0.25.

I agree, have tried a host of other tweaks, 99% of which have no effect, but FFTF=0.1 works flawlessly. However, while I see no effect whatsoever for blurries from 0.01 through to 0.50 (not been higher than this) there is a distinct improvement with FPS increase and smoothness. My sim is super smooth with FFTF=0.01 but I wouldn't even consider flying without it. I'm not saying it works for others, just my own experience. Certainly no placebo effect 😉 HowardMSI Mag B650 Tomahawk MB, Ryzen7-7800X3D CPU@5ghz, Arctic AIO II 360 cooler, Nvidia RTX4090 GPU, 32gb DDR5@6000Mhz, SSD/2Tb+SSD/500Gb+OS, Corsair 1000W PSU, LG Ultragear 48"4K, MFG Crosswinds, TQ6 Throttle, Fulcrum One YokeMy FlightSim YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@skyhigh776

December 7, 20187 yr Careful guys. I am not saying that FFTF has no effect and that you do not get better FPS or the impression of a smoother sim with FFTF=0.01 compared to the default value. What I am saying is that this value is not accepted by P3D and most probably automatically corrected to the next acceptable level which is 0.1 (that is the big question). Means: if you can show me a true difference between 0.1 and 0.01, I would be really surprised.

December 7, 20187 yr Following on from the FFTF setting at 0.01 not being recognized by P3D, I was looking at FFTF Dynamic, which has a good following on here and I noticed their setting starts at 0.01 up. Might give that program ago, especially as 50% off at Simmarket, although 4.4 update has not been released yet.

But anyone who is reading this statement should check out for himself on his system if there is a difference in FPS with FFTF=0.01 and FFTF=0.1. I certainly do see a significant difference on my system.
