Do you mind if I share my cfg file? I want to see if any tweaks need to be made, e.g. did I add the wrong tweaks? I use an RTX 2060.

The other problem I have is the scenery randomly deciding to not load anymore (Yellow deserted ground instead of ORBX scenery)

Have you configured your various settings as per the Orbx recommendations?

Yes. This is genuinely an odd issue. The FPS and everything was fine at first a few days ago, now I have this problem. It goes down to like 10-15 fps if I open just one extra window.

Edited July 4, 2025Jul 4 by Wizzkidd02

Again this is not an issue I commonly encounter with Orbx scenery but if it is a consistent problem then I would suggest uninstalling Orbx Ireland and doing a fresh reinstall just in case something became corrupt during installation.

Bill

Oh just had another thought! Years ago when I installed my Orbx scenery (using an older pre Orbx Central system), I think I also had to download and install up to date Orbx libraries. I’m not sure if this is still the case and whether something like that might be the cause of the issues you are experiencing, in case your libraries might not have all the needed textures.

I actually have Orbx libraries installed. Also, do you mind looking at my fsx.cfg that I put up? I feel like any tweaks could solve a LOT of my problems. It used to only stay at 69% for just over a minute, now it is at 6% for like 4 minutes now. I should ALSO mention that I have Ireland VFR 1 and 2 from Daniel Florentin.

Edited July 4, 2025Jul 4 by Wizzkidd02

No seriously, something is messed up. It's taking 5 minutes to fully load. This has NEVER been a problem. I seriously need help. I don't even have much addon scenery at all apart from aircraft and ORBX EU Ireland.

The best advice I ever was ever given was to avoid ALL tweaks to the FSXcfg apart from the HIGHMEMFIX tweak (which you do not need anyway as FSX Steam already has that included in its cfg). When I first installed FSX soon after it was released I tried all sorts of tweaks to try to improve its performance and the bottom line was that they caused more and more problems. I ended up uninstalling FSX and reinstalling it carefully following every step in the Avsim FSX configuration guide. I have had a smoothly functioning FSX ever since - probably for about 15 years.

As far as the loading time is concerned, unfortunately I don’t think there is a lot you can do to change that as I suspect it depends on the scenery that is being loaded, as I mentioned in a post earlier, although I am very open to correction if I am wrong in saying that!! Speaking personally I have just learned to accept that scenery cfgs including detailed scenery areas take longer to load than default scenery. Four minutes does not seem particularly long to me and often seem to have to wait even longer depending on which scenery cfg I am using (I have used SimstarterNG to  create multiple scenery cfgs and FSX cfgs and I select the combination I use on the basis or where I am planning to fly and the anticipated resource requirements of the addons I am using).

With regard to the FSX.cfg that you posted, I would not consider myself knowledgable enough to make any suggestions to you that would involve directly meddling with the cfg. Indeed many of the parameters there reflect changes that are made in the various FSX settings menus which, in my case, I applied following the Avsim configuration guide rather than directly changing parameters in the FSX.cfg itself.

That's all I did, was follow the AVSIM guide on the NVIDIA and cfg itself. Once you load in, it's fine from there. Oh and I finally managed to solve the terrain.cfg corruption and am now on my way to Athlone. FINALLY! I will post the long awaited pics once I get into the town.

Well the important thing is that it looks good once loaded! Enjoy your flights over Athlone town and the rejuvenated Irish landscape!
