BTW Nick_N:What variables would be valid for "_N" in your forum name? :-lol :-haloGaryGB

Ask my XShe has a huge list

It's just a tweak, no need to get so excited.It is just 1 value at a time, Bill is correct about that.Try them and see if you even notice a difference; its something I pulled from an old email from Sebby and he is no longer on the team so it isn't something I can check on faster than people interested can try on their own.

LOL!Thanks PhilI had posted the single digit explanation elsewhere but the description and the question around it got me thinking perhaps I was wrong tooYou do realize that one day you and a few others may get locked in a room by us and not allowed to leave until we get all the unknown config tweaks in a nice organized listor you have to convince us there really is no morehe he he

PhilThanks for your response. I certainly wasn't getting excited but I thought (and so did others) that your blog was ambiguous. It might be have been better if you had said:ShadowMappingQuality=n(Where "n" = equals any number from 0 to 3) . . . and then explaining the significance of 0, 1, 2, 3 (as you did) etcHowever, thanks again for the clarification, I thought that you meant one singlke number at a time but I just wanted to make sure by asking the more erudite mebers of this forum.FWIW IMHO FSX is the best flying sim that MS has released and it works well on my modest system.Peter HayesEDIT: Left out statements originally in square brackets!!

>And the expression means?Hi Jeff,As demonstrated in the attachment, I have always understood the expression to mean;There are 'alternative' ways to have something clarified.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/190024.gifIf I miss-understood Kevin, just put it down to my warped sense of humour.

This from the ESP SDK info (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526948.aspx), down the page in "Configuration Settings" paragraph:"ShadowMappingQuality (set to 0=off, 1=Low, 2=High, 3=Auto - the default is "Auto"). The "Low" setting for the shadow mapping refers to the shadow mapping filter present in the RTM version of ESP. The "High" setting refers to a newer, higher-quality shadow mapping filter. By default, the higher-quality filter is applied if the Graphics slider in the Settings dialog is set to High or Ultra High. Use this configuration setting to override the default behavior."I'm assuming this is the same functionality described by Phil for FSX

Phil,Moving forward, would your team consider documenting more of these settings and/or coupling them with elements in the UI for adjusting these settings?It seems that new .cfg tweaks/settings are always emerging and the documentation is not centralized.Thank you,
