BD - FSPS

@vgbaron: Interesting views (those in the thread you linked actually, I totally agree with what you quoted) but I expected more from one of the most experienced users of FSX around. He obviously does not understands the concept, and likes to stick to the opinion "I prefer my average fsx.cfg for all situations". Well not everyone is good on following the "future". I for example was also stuck on fs9 for too long. Nothing like my machines couldn't do it with fsx..., mostly emotionally I stuck, I would say. He just does the same, imho.. @denali: Wish it would be that "easy". (Caution the quotes . What you are describing is not easy at all) Unfortunately it is not. LM would have done it ages ago with the resources they have.... As my partner Achilles said just above, implementation is still ongoing regarding OOM. @Jayjay (et al): Allow me to have a different opinion. Having dealt with more than 50.000 FSPS customers directly via support or other means, and being "on-line" since internet was actually invented, finding out what is black, what is white and what is grey was never easier, believe me. However ignoring black was never our 'forte' , I shall start do that since I am also a guest here. Keep in mind however that <<Feedback>> and <<you can simply archive the same using this and that. Who need this product? >> are two totally different things. @blaze: Sure , that's what I was meaning too. Probably the language barrier did it again: We can't be on LM's shoes regarding the graphics engine. Reading their forums and the limited information released , however, the 'radical graphics engine change' - in our eyes - is not something that will come in 'near future'.

That's why the demo is there, for the potential buyer to decide if the app is OP for him or not. You are not one of them obviously. Seriously it looks like that. No posts all these years and suddenly popping like that? Seriously? But nobody with competitive IQ cares about that. That's why the demo is there... Everyone is able to decide , unbiased. By the way ... first day and our servers almost failed due to its success. Testers-to-buyers ratio was never higher. That's what we love to see and to be proud of FSPS guarantees product updates covering Prepar3D's updates for the near future. Forever? Who can say for sure? PLUS - like in FSX - we are near to implement a permanent OOM solution. This is our next task , as already announced. We are almost there.

Just a quick note to those who believe that have invented the wheel by just adding a line in Prepar3d.cfg... Whatever you do in Prepar3D cfg is STATIC. It starts and dies as long as your run the simulator. You get the same config for AAAAAALLLL flight. Either in ground at 0ft or at 35000ft. WHAT FIBER ACCELERATOR DOES is that this Prepar3D.cfg is NOT STATIC anymore. When you need frames, it will lower values to catch them, and when you need picture quality (since you already "catch" the target) it will increase values. This is done hundreds time per second. That's what NO tweak can beat, and will never will. WHY ? Because tweaks are STATIC. You can create great configs in prepar3D.cfg : one for a busy airport (but it won't be great for high altitudes), another for 35000ft away from everything (but it won't be great for the "busy airport") , another "all around" average cfg... But you cannot have all in one. That's what Fiber is doing, and some of you better digest it... ^_^

I have to quote myself... It took us 4 months to do it instead. Well you can figure out if it is the same thing or something new... Some say P3D and FSX is the same. Well for scenery or some aircraft designers this can be the case. Playing with the graphics IS NOT.

Sure no probl, we asked opinions after all, this is not a advertisement forum ! According to a rough computing I made of your settings, If I were you I would set 40fps target in simulator, 20 fps in Fiber's lower target and 30 in Fiber's middle target. Check also on average demand situations, you may be able to identify more Check using the button for switching between modes. (Lower - middle - deactivated)

@demious You are describing an at least 20% frame per sec. rate increase in your worst case scenario. (and ofcourse we don't create explosions ) You think this is bad ? There is nothing wrong in your system... @J van E Sorry but I have to object here. You can trust others opinions better than your own eyes? Demo is free

Goodmorning all, be advised .. we are watching the topic. We would be more than happy to read feedback and opinions as always.

Hi, no nothing as discount or offer is scheduled. The two applications share only a similar interface. On the "back" everything is different as P3D v.2 is - actually - a new simulator. If it was that easy we would had it published the day FSX version was published, too. Kind regards,

@Gregg, when you will be able to test again try with the Frame Limiter completely disabled. Some users reported positive results even using an external frame limiter, some others still struggle about it. We cannot confirm it or even able to reconstruct this in our systems, - technically there is no reason it wouldn't work , especially if the limit of the ext.limiter is too high like your case 58 - but you don't lose anything in trying...

As previously said (multiple times) we disregard fsx.cfg . Fiber Accelerator works directly talking with FSX Graphic's engine and doesn't care for whatever tweak you had inserted or not. The only thing fsx.cfg has to do with the application is that Fiber is saving the correct Frame Target value in case you quit FSX while fiber had set internally FSX's frames to unlimited. Because FSX when closing saves the actual value Target FPS, we avoid that (to save "unlimited" ) by restoring the actual fsx.cfg you previously were using.

"The program window is too large for my low res screen" ? How low is that "low-res" that is able at the same time to run FSX? And why minimize it? Just use alt-tab to switch to FSX if that is the problem.

We have some more ideas... Most originate from the great feedback you users provide. Keep it coming and whatever is possible will be implemented. We hear you. That is proved.

Hi all, Ver 1.3.1 hot-fix available through application's updater. ------------- AGL/Altitude fixed. GUI bug fixed (was caused by a "infinity" return of an FSUIPC offset when simulation was not ready while opening or if FSX process delayed its closing) --- We note your requests about the GUI and in the next full version there will be an option to follow the new or old GUI. So all will be pleased "Divide and rule" is the saying ?

Hi all, Hope the best to all. We got back from holidays and threw ourselves to work on Fiber. We will have many more news this month, but for the moment: NEWS: Today version 1.3 rolled out. Its main features : - A reworked GUI. - Internal code improvements - The new AGL cycle mode : User creates 3 layers of altitude (i.e. up to 5000ft AGL, 5000 to 10000ft and 10000ft and above ) and assigns the 3 presets on each. So when he flies at or below 5000ft AGL the "Lower frames" will be active , from 5 to 10 thousand feed the "Middle frames" will be active and from 10000ft AGL and above Fiber will get "deactivated status". That way there is no need to cycle manually from one preset to the other as all is done automatically. Additionally a delay is set while switching between two modes : i.e. Lower target 20 , Middle target 30. Instead of doing the change immediately, user (in AGL mode) can select the rate of change (in fps) from one preset to the other. So if he sets 1fps the change - on this example - will last 10 seconds , and the transition will be smoother. - (For registered FSUIPC) Some FSUIPC offsets (3) added so user can now select each preset with a different button. - Some initial work has been done on OEM errors (see also below). Nothing solid yet however. ** Of course a new demo ( 5 uses x 60minutes each ) is available on most webstores. ------------------ MORE NEWS... Probably also before September ends... A Prepar3D and a bundle (FSX&P3D) version will roll out too. YES we had full success on that, Prepar3D works on a similar way. Lockheed had made MANY changes to the graphic engine "little" details , however , and it needs a lot work to "decode" all this stuff, so we run a little late on our ETA. But it is 'doable' and will be done soon, we can confirm that. Plus we will continue our work to try to eliminate "FSX user worst nightmare of the last decade" those cursed OEM errors. We had some promising results during testing, we are up to it, but "we will see".

You wrote that... "The voice on the Youtube video is extremely un-realistic..don't know what they were thinking." I bet you won't find the app useful for you. On the other hand - answering on what they were thinking - well the reality is that less than 5% of pilots worldwide made their English announcements in perfect English accent. Worst the accent , the more realistic application would be. That's the - strange indeed - truth.

Well I cannot debate each time a user reports something impossible... Just read carefully this post (after "A (multiple written before) note I will have to make:" ) http://forum.avsim.net/topic/447504-just-bought-fsx-fiberand-man-does-it-work/page-4#entry3043234

That's why the "middle target" or "FA deactivated" buttons are there... Just press the "FA deactivated" and FSX will return to default and you will get the higher frames you claim... If you like you can use the middle frames to something around 30. If you get 16-20 fps it means that the actiive target set frames in fiber is around 20-25 ... Everything is a matter of setting correctly 3 numbers... FSX target frame, Lower frame, and Middle Frame. Don't expect the application make it for yourself. You need to work with it a bit. PS. To all: We are in our summer vocations (personally in Crete) and our response times will be slower than usual, a matter of Mobile internet availability actually. We continue our work on Fiber Accelerator (even on laptops) and version 1.3. For those who don't know a lot about us, FSPS applications almost never stop to evolve.. We also believe that from September we will have some more wonderful news for all FS community, including Prepar3D users... Keep in touch

@carmined .. Thanks. The text can be shown bigger with Ctrl + mouse wheel , isn't it ?

Try to delete (if you don t need it/like it / use them any more) the fsx missions gauge. Good paywares use a looooot of gauges, passengers is another one, you may run near maximum gauges value in fsx. This creates api.dll errors if i can recall the code correct.

That should have been: Only trying correctly the demo... Because some expect the app to.. configure itself, and deliver miracles from minute zero. The demo is there mostly to confirm application ability to start on a system, but it "actually works" on ALL systems. Whether user actually finds that out or not...

@ 0Artur0 Fiber Accelerator never takes away aircraft or cockpit shadows. Multiple tested , and tested 10 minutes ago for you, just to be sure. This can be confirmed by all DX10 users who also use Fiber. So you realized wrong.. Please check again aircraft shadows at the relative part of your FSX display settings. (Aircraft cast shadows on itself etc)

Hi, Some answers: About our PCs the application was developed with PCs: Old celeron core2duo 2GB ram winxp, an Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.40GHz win7, i3 [email protected] win7 16GB ram, Intel i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz 32GB ram , win7 64 and win 8.1 , with various configurations on joysticks, graphic cards etc etc. Plus tested on a home cockpit built (would be too lengthy to put full description of that). Of course the beta team also adds a long list on the above. (In all cases computers - on their settings - were able to deliver a minimal 13fps output , below that we classify the PC-FSX settings combination as "slideshow".) ----------- @DickB: Never tested with external frame limiter. There is no need to use one with Fiber, however. ---------------- A (multiple written before) note I will have to make: Fiber Accelerator IS NOT an "FPS generator" . All depends to your current configuration of FSX. If you had made a FPS targeted fsx.cfg it will give you smoothness and better graphics (without losing frames). if you had made a graphics targeted fsx.cfg it will give you better frames. If you had made an all around fsx.cfg it will give you both better frames and smoothness. There is exactly where Fiber's power is: Dynamically changing the visual output while flying, without need to enter the FSX menu to change settings or close fsx - edit fsx.cfg - restart fsx, resume to change other settings. If you really understand this concept you will find out what Fiber's benefits are to your system, and then look for them accordingly... Off topic, but we are into it. Nothing definitive yet , but September may come with some good news.

@Maxybo. You said... "Also support response from fsps was nothing to do with us, dissapointing attitude." Is this dissapointing? Would it be better if we had respond "oh yes it's our fault" (despite we have nothing to do with that) and never be able to find for you a solution ? I doubt... It is like cursing the CAT scan machine for discovering a tummor on your body on a routine check-up... "Win8 - joystick - fsx". Like saying "home computing with windows 95"

Changing the way graphics are delivered, in real time , without touching any FSX file , is the whole concept of Fiber Accelerator. And they say I 'm lazy into reading whole threads , lol

As with dx9. MS's way of doing things didnt changed on dx10 preview mode. We approach it the same way. @sesquashtoo: Please don't ask for people to set a specific value on their settings. Each computer is different and -despite your approach is correct,that's how we visualise the app to work- the settings user may be pleased with, differs too.
