jm9009 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Is it okay to disable orbx libs from scenery library(FSX-SE) bc whenever I enable it the loading times is slower and blurries happens 30 seconds after takeoff. Any help regarding about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 With the ORBX Library disabled you will not see ORBX scenery objects correctly. Basically your flying default FSX. Loading time is longer because FSX loads ALL the scenery objects on startup and the more objects the longer the loading time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Try disabling all scenery that is not needed for the flight. Do not remove, just untick in the Scenery Library window and tick again any scenery that is needed for a particular flight. Personally the only scenery that I leave ticked all the time is all the FSX default scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 One more tip: I use SimStarterNG for different scenery configurations, for instance I only load California when I fly there, or Germany, etc. Once configured, it's just a matter of one click to change the configuration. It's payware, but there are also free alternatives out there. Very recommended :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundancer Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 In my opinion SimStarterNG does (or can) much more than just Scenery administration. If you want a simple but powerful SceneryConfig administration tool, consider SceneryConfigEditor (http://fs-sceditor.sourceforge.net/) I use it heavily and it never lets me down. I don't know if it Sim-specific, I only run FSX. Success and best regards Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBPilot Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 So I’ve used Scenery Config Editor and SIMstarterNG and found SIMstarterNG to be considerably more useful to enabling a stable and efficient FSX:SE setup. You won’t go wrong with either though! Best, Rupert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimNZ Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thank you everyone. A real HU for those like me who somehow always find themselves dragging the chain yet I'm on here reading furiously every day, yet still miss valuable information. Jim.

jm9009 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yes I am using Scenery Config editor and disabled the unnecessary sceneries but my problem is that the loading time is slow but ofc I can wait for that but what bothers me the most is ground textures are blurred after 1-3 minutes after takeoff. I supposed it is because the loading time of the ground texture is slow and the reason why blurry occurs. Thats why I am disabling orbx libs because blurries occurs in seconds only. Any other ideas will be appreciated. My Cfg fsx.CFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I would seek another solution, if I were you, otherwise you might as well fly with FSX default sceneries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.D Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If you are running the Sim off a mechanical hard disk, I would first run, from the command prompt as an Administrator, "Chkdsk" with the /R option and then defragment the drive and then see if it improves. Sometimes it is not the sim software but something a bit off in the computer hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Not knowing your system specs, it's hard to say. But first step might be to back off on some of those settings that cause this type of problem--autogen, cloud draw distance to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Hobson Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Ok, thanks. Others might disagree, but your cpu running at 3.4 Ghz is probably the bottleneck. Your gpu isn't the problem is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Pilot Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Stewert is right. 3.4 GHz is a little slow even for FSX. MSFX and its derivates are processor bound which is the main reason why we advise those that are on the upgrade path to always purchase the biggest, baddest computer that they can afford. The rule of thumb on where the money should go is processor first, memory second, and then the graphics cards. Processor = FPS Memory = How many programs ( addons) you can have open at one time Graphics Memory (VRAM) = How smooth the scene is rendered and how high you can set your sliders before you bog down. P2D does a better job of memory management than FSX in the 32 bit sims allowing longer flights before OOM. P3D v4 uses 64 bit memory management which does away with OOM.

jm9009 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 So setting the lod radius 7.5 and autogen density to dense is a bit too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Could be. The only way you'll know for sure is to try different combinations of settings until you find one that works. As above, the laptop CPU is the problem...it's just not fast enough to run with high settings..........Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I agree with everything that has been said about CPU speed but I wonder how many of us actually had a PC capable of even 3.5GHz when FSX first came out? My current PC runs at 4.5GHz water cooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
