Mmm, reading the release notes there´s no hurry for me to update right now, at least performance-wise no improvements or did I missed it ?

ok, here are your frame killers ! AirlineDensity=20 FreewayDensity=20 GADensity=20 LeisureBoatsDensity=40 ShipsAndFerriesDensity=40 waaay too much traffic ! lower these settings (I fly with AirlineDensity=10 and FreewayDensity=10 only to get good fps, nothing else (and my system is quite good)! Also it´s good to let fsx rebuild a new stock fsx.cfg !

Try it without the Bufferpools=0 tweak but also post your DX10 fsx.cfg here !

++1, sadly, almost alwayas online ATC "expect" you to have the major Airport-addon´s ! I could live with the standard ones !

Mmm. for any reason I can´t go in the integrated Takeoff/Landing performance tool with the 737-800 selected (are greyed out) but yes, after releasing the flight I can export all data to Topcat. With any other aircraft selected in Pfpx it works also within !

Using traffic in FSX is always a big fps-killer ! I fly mostly with just 20% airline traffic (MyTrafficX) and I can see a huge fps-drop compared to 0% traffic ! Try to turn the traffic sliders down and see the difference. With 20% traffic (in my case with MyTrafficX) I get all the bigger Airports quite well populated. Your fps-issues with the HUD (HGS) is another peoblem that I did never see, mmm, may be a Radeon issue ?

Yeeeah, finally doing with FSX what I wanted to do always ! Have in mind that I was flying all the way down w/o AP/AT and struggling with 18kts winds from the right ! But yes, it´s my target to make it always better and having fun ! :-) Thank you all the people here at avsim whose posts helped me sooo much !!! Regards, Christian

After many time of tweaking FSX in DX9 and now DX10 I finally found my best settings and I enjoy flying and dont want to tweak anymore ! -) Here is a short X-wind landing in NY La Guardia

Thank you guys and thank´s god I found this thread ! Uninstalled the KB2670838 update and ~5 hours flying w/o ctd ! -) Yet I was thinking about re-installing FSX (week of work, pffff) !

Thank you Paul ! This Tip improves the Image-Quality or does it something performance-wise ?

Great news Paul !

You´re using a very old driver, 310.90 is the latest.

Good to have all info in just a single document, Thank you !

Thank´s Paul but waay too bright for me. Ok, I ´ll test it later with bloom and shadows in fsx disabled and adjust some in SweetFx.

Yees, to fix the micro-stuttering I set FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.40 with just a minimal loss of fps ! I think I´ll stick with DX10 for now, can live with the few issues (night lightning/textures). Thank you so much Paul and Steve for your effort to make this possible !!

Word Not Allowed´s Quote dazz, on 11 April 2012 - 12:09 PM, said: If you use standard Vsync at half the refresh rate, you basically have a frame rate limiter at 30FPS, so why limit it in FSX then? Because FSX system is working differently when unlimited vs limited. And if you don't limit and use VSync only, you get unlimited in windowed. Ok, got it !

The first time testing DX10 and so far... good performance but I experience some stuttering occasionally because (I believe that´s the reason) I cant get the Vsync to work. With DX9 and Word Not Allowed´s tweaks it worked with the ForceWindowedVSync=1 (always in window mode), 30fps in fsx and 1/2 RefreshRate in NI. When I set fps to unlimited it would never go higher than 60fps. To get WindowedVsync working in DX9 I had to do the WindowsAero OFF/ON tweak after launching fsx. But with DX10 I´ve tested all and when I set unlimited fps frames run up to 100-200fps ! What I`am doing wrong ? Help appreciated ! Sorry my poor English !

Oh sorry, I missed that ! That would be a big issue for any ATC in fsx i think. BTW I don´t own PRO ATC yet......BUT :rolleyes: ...

I think you guys mixed up some things, so the IAF is the point where the STAR ends and from there, there is almost always only one possible transition to your assigned RWY either assigned with the STAR or by vectoring to the FAF (ILS/LOC). In case of Traffic ATC should handle this. Sorry for my poor English

One question guys, if I download any FSDT airport, from what I´ve read on the site the main buildings will disapear after 10 minutes in DEMO. But the fsdt-runways, apron, tayiways/signs dont go away ? Thank´s !

Thank you @Luke !

Mmm, I never had these temperature issues with ASE, all what I know for sure.

Thank you @Paul ! But this values were already set so I´ll stick with them.

@Ramon, to what value you changed the 3rd entry, 2048, 4096 or even more ? Thank you !

And you bought another Ivy just to run it in dual-channel mode ?
