Something worth trying to gain some fps ...

Otherwise the impact on fps by GEX would be very high (much bigger than it was with GEPro). I fly mostly civil jets and for intense aircrafts I use the recent WWW commercial texture add-on and commercial LC (XClass) with some tweaks in FSX.cfg, including less trees and a little less buildings. As a result of this thread I also installed the modded default.xml and I like the result. The 2 FSX versions perform very good now on my medium to high power system (C2 E6850, 4GB RAM, GT8800). (Autogen in Europe doesn't look good though, needs something different).Thanks to all.Dirk.

Hi,I've tried to reduce to zero the buildings, by adding the two lines TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=4500TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=10to the TERRAIN section of FSX.CFG, but nothing changes (I have the autogen slider to maximunm).By putting =0 instead of =10 in the BUILDING line makes no differenceAny ideas?Thanks in advanceFulvio

Only thing I can think is that perhaps you have 2 fsx.cfg's and the one you are changing is not the one the sim is using?GeofaMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

What service pack are you guys running? I have SP2 and Acceleration installed My original default.xml file was about 7 mb.

Hmmm, I think that if you want Geofa's tip to work, you need to rename the default.xml file to for ex. default.bak.xml (this file is in the fsx/autogen folder. Hope this helps.Greetings from EBBR,Jos

Hi Geof,thanks for your suggestion.What I noticed, after a bit more testing, is that the only building that seem to react to this setting are the small houses.The big ones (multistorey, multiside, with a court inside) seem not to change, by setting the MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDING... from 3000 to 10 or 0.Big mystery...RegardsFulvio

Try the scenery complexity slider for that and see what happens..GeofaMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

Geog,I've discovered that the objects that seem not to react to MAX_AUTOGEN_..._PER_CELL are the ones described in default.xml file.I'm currently using Rhumbaflappy's reduced version of default.xml, but even with the stock file, things do not change.By renaming this file I get only standard autogen (of course) and I can control buildings and trees value in FSX.CFG.I would like to know if anyone has the same issue/feature.regardsFulvio
