Can we get some screenshots Paul?

can we get any eta about steve? any progres info? im actualy waiting for it ? can i be a beta tester ?

is this mean its gonna stop injecting weather every minute?

its also looks like have mipmaps for their ai planes .. i see ut2 has no mipmaps for their AI planes wich is making performance issue sometimes...

hi try this one http://shockwaveproductions.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=12264

im with 3ghz and 260m-gtx 4gb ram ; my rex is ; 1024 3d clud dxt5 1024 cirrus 512 water dxt1 wave and dx10 tick at water/sun flare dont forget the install textures while fsx not running you should chek TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD= section to depends on your texture pref... honestly i found 1024 textures very good at performance/quality dont forget to change ''water changes'' to ''no change'' while using rex engine and ''disable turblance effects on aircraft'' tick ''download wind'' untick (these are recommends of rex manual) *''vx refresh balance every 2.0sec'' can helps while rex injecting wather drops less fps im playing at 1366x768 30fps limit with vsynch Fxaa on not any other antialias (its fast and efficent) 16x aniso no autogen (i dont like it its making unrelated architectural buildings at mediterranean scenerys) bloom (awsome its my must be ) special effects high level of detail radius medium very dense scenery (in most scenerys especaily at airports ''extreme'' just adding another same ship/static cars/unnecesery models wich is alrdy exsist at scenery with dense... its not fun too see same car/bus next by next over and over again in parking lot or at apron...''extreme'' is pure performance killer with no sense...) all aircraft shadows no ground scenery shadow water effects mid 2x (venice dont like above ) cloud draw distance 80mi (more=perf drop badly + alredy cant see futher with maximum coverage + cirrus clouds cuttin at middle above this wich is buggy looking) cloud coverage maximum no any road/ship trafic (pure performance killers) %50 aircraft traffic [TERRAIN] MIN_LAND_CLASS_LEVEL=11 [sCENERY] SmallPartRejectRadius=2.0 [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 [DISPLAY] TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=80 [DISPLAY] WideViewAspect=True [Main] FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.22 DisablePreload=1 with these setting i nearly always get 30fps + on ground...lose fps to maximum 22-18wich is also rare (happens at mega airports sometimes but not always)... your system more superior than mine you must have constant 30fps with these settings... also i suggest do tests like mine for buffer pool setting i found wrong setting causing perf. drops identical http://forum.avsim.net/topic/407809-buffer-pools-recommendations-for-laptop/ *dont forget nvidia 320.18 drivers... they come out couple of days ago... i hope these helps a bit i also have some issues with rex wich is its injecting weather every minute ! wich is droping my fps periodicly... i think its cause of vxplus mode.. but every minute why???...

and thats also beeing answer of my next question ''what i need to change in .cfg file to get better dx9 performance while dx10 is good''.... so theres no option left isnt it? my system req. dx10 performance increase code for runing fsx witout any perf. issue

hello jim my problem about dx9 is being completly unplayable because of performance issues for me ... in dx9 mode im getting 10-15fps maybe 20 if im lucky wich is shutters/laggy... but in dx10 nearly stable 30fps cap... i dont know why fsx is making such a difference while other dx9 games not doing that effect... so playing at dx9 pain for my sytem... key here is not eye candy things for me....

any info/progres/news about Steve's apps?

sory but couldnt understand your suggestion paul

im using Mid2.x also higher settings may causing performance problems at some scenerys for exaple at venice im using rex also dx10 optimized 512x512 textures at water looking cool

so im using [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=20971520 RejectThreshold=262144 right?

Btw im strongly recommend Nvidia's tool http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-system-tools-6.08-driver.html with this you can create overclock profiles and load/unload them when games are starts/stops or when your Gpu/Cpu reaches predefined temperatures ect (Profile Policies)... im thinking its more useful than other tools... :rolleyes:

Oke i made all tests... i found how to make benchmark with fixed flight and become objective.. used ''Fraps'' and some fixed flight found on other topics (google) (http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/418775-recommended-benchmark-flight-simulator-x.html) insted of using its cfg files i deleted them and used my orginal cfg and changed numbers there also not used their suggested graphic options i used my deafult dettings wich is i always using as a regular flights... i also used Tail View because its seeing skys aircraft and ground relativly wide angle wich is more suitable for testing FXAA On (not any other antialias) Anisotropic X16 Vsynch Off FPS limiter in game Unlimited... anyway, Here is results; first i tested ''guide numbers'' and bp=0 First [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=5242 Frames: 8565 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.550 - Min: 15 - Max: 37 --------------------------------------------------------------- 0 [bufferPools] BufferPools=0 Frames: 8566 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.553 - Min: 12 - Max: 41 --------------------------------------------------------------- 1 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 RejectThreshold=131072 Frames: 8566 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.553 - Min: 14 - Max: 38 2 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 RejectThreshold=262144 Frames: 8645 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.817 - Min: 14 - Max: 40 3 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 RejectThreshold=524288 Frames: 8778 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.260 - Min: 14 - Max: 41 4 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 RejectThreshold=786432 Frames: 8599 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.663 - Min: 14 - Max: 41 5 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 RejectThreshold=1048576 Frames: 8298 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 27.660 - Min: 14 - Max: 38 ---------------------------------------------------------------- PoolSize=10485760 1 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=131072 Frames: 8772 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.240 - Min: 15 - Max: 38 2 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=262144 Frames: 8662 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.873 - Min: 14 - Max: 39 3 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=524288 Frames: 8599 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.663 - Min: 14 - Max: 38 4 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=786432 Frames: 8742 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.140 - Min: 15 - Max: 39 5 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=1048576 Frames: 8531 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.437 - Min: 13 - Max: 40 --------------------------------------------------------------- PoolSize=20971520 1 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=20971520 RejectThreshold=131072 Frames: 8640 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 28.800 - Min: 14 - Max: 38 2 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=20971520 RejectThreshold=262144 Frames: 8822 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.407 - Min: 14 - Max: 42 3 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=20971520 RejectThreshold=524288 Frames: 8816 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.387 - Min: 14 - Max: 40 4 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=20971520 RejectThreshold=786432 Frames: 8781 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.270 - Min: 14 - Max: 41 5 [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=20971520 RejectThreshold=1048576 Frames: 8701 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 29.003 - Min: 14 - Max: 43

do i need this btw? http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

wow thnx for long and detailed explanations i will do the tests but is there any program to run fsx as a benchmark? so average maximum/minimum fps i can see objective ? or i need to do each flight manually? i have 1 independet question also.. what happens if i chance all textures for example 1 airport scenery textures .bmp to .dds using with ''convimx'' to dxt5 with alpha and mipmaps.... then delete old .bmp files.. is fsx gonna look for .bmp first than look for .dds after ? so is this means losing time to load all of those textures? im asking this because searching and making them 1 by 1 is time consuming so lets tottaly convert them to .dds is not gonna work ? btw i cant play at dx9 its not about water better looks or ect eye candy things... its becoming too much bumpy on fps- lag... simply my machine runs dx10 way too much better and smooth... dx10 doing some magicly performance improvments especially on fsx dont know why because other games not doing such a difference on their dx9 - dx11 or 10 modes...

Hello im barely understand how works buffer pool settings... i read pdf guide and using; [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=5242 with DX10 mode... My laptop has core2duo with 2.8 ghz well sometimes its going up to 3.0ghz also (i have button to make turbo boost) and waching at CPU-Z well however its still laptop processor so with my 260M GTX with 1 gb ram (4gb system) actualy wich settings i need to use?... if theres any other players using laptop can help me with their experiences? some forums im seeing they are using BufferPools=0 on lower computers than mine... so i got confused can i get also simple explanetion about how its actualy doing? i read guide and i didnt understand well there bacause of my english... and additionally when i chek my 260m its saying 2,8-3 gb ''total'' video memory i know its sharing with system memory but its has actualy 1Gb on its real... so do i need to use [DISPLAY] TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=120 or make it 80? thnx

Hello i made sweetfx 1.4 install today and i notice sweetfx is applying antialiasing automaticly i didnt even tick on it? im only trying to activate Vibrance with 0.15 setting but its adding aa too? i turned off fxaa (wich was im using) ect ect both on inspector and nvidia control panel and untick at game screen also... i even unticking vibrance but its keeps adding aa when a reload and cycle to on/off with sweet fx? im using SweetFX-Configurator_standalone_1.3.3 to control sweetfx parameters...

Omg you're Right !!! its fixed now lol Thnx

Here today i re installed my drivers (clean) and re download inspector than here it is; Step 1; Step 2 im selecting FSX there; Step 3; bigger version? http://img.techpowerup.org/130510/nvidia_20130510_084618.png That button is grey... and text about Vsync is same... im downloading it from techpowerup maybe their version is different or is there any other user with ''M'' series graphic card maybe their drivers are different?

lol i did exacly that... i totally understand what you said... i select it with left clik and.... it turned to ''_GLOBAL_DRIVER_PROFILE (MS Flight Simulator X)'' i wil uninstall my driver and inspector and reload them and re-try again

oki im sending all i can see first main inspector window i gone to that profile tab and typed ''MS'' and i see ''MS Flight Simulator X'' between MS Flight and MS Flight Simulator 2004 and after i select ''MS Flight Simulator X'' as you said.. and after that i cant see it there anymore when i search it again with ms... however its alredy on my profile tab... but as i said that button(...CustomSettingNames 'button') is grey i cannot clik nothing happens... here is the rest of my inspector it didnt shrink :( anyway on my nvidia tab also MS Flight Similator X profile apears additional to main profile than i select it there also... and here it is at there its saying Vertical Sync: Adaptive (Half Refresh Rate) thats all

im using it i did evryting like you said... its saying ''_GLOBAL_DRIVER_PROFILE (MS Flight Simulator X)'' at inside that profile thingy... but my inspector just showing that lines as a option for a ''Vertical Sync Tear Control'' and ''Vertical Sync'' :Z anyhow its working maybe mobile versions drivers diffrent than desktop ones?

yeah i found fix today on their 2009 post ; http://shockwaveproductions.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=12264 similar ''fx_circle_2'' wasnt in my effect/texture folder than i download from this link and put it there.... btw ''fx_2.bmp'' was alredy there.. even i tried convert it to .dds for fix also... (wich is made it worse at all ) anyway thnx for help.... another problem solved

that button ''which looks like a funnel'' always grey at mine i cant clik it but changing profile is worked... however my settings still same but this time Vsync working at game thnx heres the my inspector setting on vsync -VSYNCMODE_FLIPINTERVAL2 -VSYNCTEARCONTROL_ENABLE
