I'm a REX weather engine user also, but those injections either freeze my flight or put my FPS in the toilet.   If that could be solved then I would be a happy camper.

Ernie, change to the Standard mode instead of the WX Plus engine and set your initial load delay time in the config between 2 - 5 minutes this will stop the freezing and the weather injection every two minutes.

You should have HT turned off period with an Intel core, AMD is a different beast altogether, and I have a friend Paul Jenkins that was on the FSX Testing team and worked with the Microsoft "Aces" team and he calculated these numbers, I am not just throwing random numbers out there dude....lol   These do work! i was just saying that AM=14 is a great stand-by but try the others.  you can go to Intel.com and find your specific processor number and see exactly how many cores and threads you have and then match it up to the number that corresponds to the AM to use.

Here is Paul's List =

For 2-core 4-thread CPU
15=1111 = ALL 4 cores
14=1110 = last 3 cores (cores read from back to front)
7=0111 = first 3 cores
3=0011 = first 2 cores
1=0001 = first core
For 4-core 8-thread CPU
255=11111111 = ALL 8 cores
254=11111110 = last 7 cores
252=11111100 = last 6 cores
127=01111111 = first 7 cores
63=00111111 = first 6 cores
For 6-core 12-thread CPU
4095=111111111111 = ALL 12 cores
4094=111111111110 = last 11 cores
4092=111111111100 = last 10 cores

Well, I could post a few but then again, I applaud your will to help others out and the effort you clearly put in it so who am I to post something negative!!! I do have to say though you really made me laugh out loud when you said at the beginning of the movie 'this is going to be a real short one' and then noticed the video takes 1:09:17. Classic. ^_^ Makes me wonder how long your long video's are! :lol:

Well I did go on and on in that one, you should see one that isn't short....lmao and I thought that was funny as well after I finished it....lol   And yes, so far all of the comments posted on my Youtube page for that video in particular have been positive. I also have more video tutorilas for Installing REX Products.   

I am assuming that you did not see any improvemnet in FSX following the tweaks I listed in it

and actually I would love to hear your comments if they did not help your FSX performance.

that is the only way I can address them and find out why they did not work for you but they did for other people.

I would really like to see a copy of your FSX CFG. and let me have a crack at improving your FSX performance.

Feel free to send me a pm.

Thanks   ~  James

Try setting your Bufferpools to 20000000 or 25000000 and remember  UsePools =0 should only be used if you have  2GB or more dedicated video memory on your graphics card. 

UsePools=1 utilizes the computers memory and UsePools=0 draws memory from the video card directly.

Also if you are running a quadcore processor try different Affinity Mask settings =14 is the standard but you can also try 255, 63, 252, and 254.  A lot of people get stutters with 255 but try them out and see if you get some improvment.

If you are so inclined you can drop a copy of your current FSX CFG. in a pm to me, I will have a go at it and you can drop it back in your FSX and see if it makes a difference.

I have done this for like 15 people all have seen improvements and they can all now run FSX with there scenery sliders set to max with very good performance.

Hope this helps.  ~  James

Thanks Pete.  Seems my posts keep magically disappearing .....lol    Sad you can't even try to help people here.

Glad to hear Pete.  estipi, thanks!  Please give the tweaks a try, they usually help.  Going on 1700 views with this video and I have only heard positive comments.

A lot of different tweaks in this one some for FSX and for your computer.

And thanks for letting me know if they improve your FSX performance.

James

Give this a look, I have put several FSX Tweaks in here.

Give this a look, I have put several FSX Tweaks in here.

You can see my system specs just click on the link here in my profile. I am getting amazing FPS, It's all in the tweaks man.

I mean you need a decent system but tweaks make all the difference.

Shots with some of the FPS I am getting These are the Alabeo D-17 Staggerwing / REX Essentials Plus Overdrive / Megascenery X Florida / FlyTampa Tampa RE-Booted running, and The PMDG 738WL with Shockwave 3D Lights / REX Essentials Plus Overdrive / Megascenery X Florida / FlyTampa Tampa RE-Booted running at the same time.

All of my FSX Scenery Sliders are set to max, I have not OC'ed anything on my system. I have seen over 250FPS in the VRS F-18 Superbug with all of the add-ons running.

I will look for those shots but you get the idea.

Hope this helps. James

jpuustinen, Sorry my friend  I was informed by Tom an Avsim staff member that I will not be allowed to post my screenshots if they show REX textures and weather.  If you would like to continue this conversation, I would be more than happy to do that or if anyone needs any help setting up REX to perform properly we can continue this on the REX Facebook page or on my personal FB page Link = FSX - Flight Sim Addict   Just search on FB you will find it.

Thanks Gents!

Thanks guys, I just bought the EVGA GTX660ti FTW + LE 3GB card and it is stock I haven't even tried to OC it. All my FSX Scenery sliders are set to max. and you can see my FPS in the first two shots. My card is set to 120 FPS and FSX unlimited

I would watch the video, It's all about the tweaks man....lol

FSX will perform just fine no matter how old it is, you just have to tweak it right. And it still cost $50 or 60 bucks. So your advice for better FSX performance is to do a re-boot? Would help you more if you used Ccleaner and cleaned your cache and registry and ran a program like Iobit system cleaner (freeware) then do a re-boot.

And I don't agree with your comment about too much my FSX folder is at just over 260GB of Add-ons and that doesn't affect my FSX performance at all. 

Jcomm, these are from FSX. Pretty crisp to me. Maybe try tweaking your FSX CFG. some more to help improve this issue.

Here is a link to a video I made. Maybe it will help.

Check out Carenado, and Alabeo both are producing amazing GA aircraft.

Why is it a question of one or the other?  I run both I have lots of ORBX and MegaScenery X.  It's all about how you feel that day when you go and fly and what you want to see.  There is a big difference in the two. 

MegaScenery is photoreal so no autogen and it tends to look like crap until you get up in the air a bit.

On the other hand ORBX looks great anywhere you are.

So my advice is get some of each and enjoy both.

Give this a whirl.   I have been getting a lot of good feedback that this has helped a lot of people get better performance with their FSX.

All of my scenery sliders are maxed out. 

That's the only way to fly FSX!

Here are some shots showing my FPS (And I am not gloating just trying to help and show what's possible with some tweaking)

This is the PMDG 737-800WL / with Shockwave 3D lights  -  REX Essentials Plus Overdrive, Natural ENB, FSWC 3.15,  FlyTampa - Tampa Rebooted AP and Photoreal MegaScenery X Florida all running at the same time.

Here are a few Bug shots for you.   All shots are unedited (Maybe just a touch of Contrast but that's it)  and un-modified just V-key, converted to jpeg.                                         I am using an ENB - Natural available here for free. -  http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/forums/index.php?/forum/19-free-stuff/                 Enjoy!

Hope this helps guys.

You have to call the 888 or 800 number for support and it will ask you for your validation key. type that in and here is the important part when the automated voice ask you how many computers you have installed this on say one (1). and it will say its updating your key and will then give you a new one. Write it down and then type it in should be good to go

Any chance of a Delta Sky Team (The blue and grey) 747-8 and maybe even an Air France Sky Team 747-8 and not to push my luck here ..lol but a One world Cathay Pacific 747-8. You do amazing work would really love to see these and fly them as well. Thanks!
