a340500 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Anyone care to test?

a340500 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Would like to add that YBBN and YMML (latest editions) wrecked havoc on my system (see Sig) Even over clocked the CPU to 4 GHZ without any positive results. A complete rebuild as per following links by NickN helped heaps for areas outside Orbx regions: http://www.simforums.com/forums/topic29041.html The Links below helped tremendously for Orbx regions including YBBN v110 and YMML v2 all settings enabled with CPU @ just 2.8 (default): http://forum.avsim.net/topic/283061-bojotes-fsxcfg-file/ http://forum.avsim.net/topic/283701-bojotes-shader-30-mod-for-fsx/ Jesus (hey-sus) Bojote's Shader Mod 3.0 Performance edition is excellent: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=148399 My FSX.CFG has only the following entries: [Main] DisablePreload=1 [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 ForceFullScreenVSync=1 ForceWindowedVSync=1 ALLOW_SHADER_30=1 SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=9872430 The SHADER_CACHE_VERSION above instructs FSX to re-compile the shaders, this number has to be changed if the ShadersHLSL is modified. The 9872430 is just a random number you can use ANY number, just remember to change it everytime you update anything INSIDE your ShadersHLSL folder OR even if you UNINSTALL IT, so the shaders are re-compiled again. [sCENERY] SmallPartRejectRadius=2 [TERRIAN] TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=1500 TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=800 IMAGE_PIXELS_FOR_AUTOGEN_POLYGONS=16 [bufferPools] RejectThreshold=98304 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 So there you go - free for anyone hacing issues to try.. It is a lot of reading but very rewarding. Regards, Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Follwoing the instrcutions I paste the following %AppData%\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg and open it in the browser and then it passes me to another screen where I click on "here". I then get an Error 500 message with comments in spanish???? Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have gone through the process and I am greatly impressed with the result. Once again, thank you Signor. Only two problems. For some reason down through the life of FSX I have never been able to turn an aircraft, particularly at an airport, without stuttering - even though fps are 20+. It just does. For instance the plane in the selection box always judders around its turn. I have tried the 0 tweak, and the gigantic poolsize and almost everything in between and have never got it cured. A lesser problem, I went to download the external fps limiter, and found the site wouldn't let me do so without giving them a bundle of personal information, about which I am not happy. If anyone can point me to a download site which doesn't require this I would be grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a340500 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Dan, To view your FSX.cfg file, Open a new explore window (windows key + e) and in the address bar type %Appdata% and hit enter. Then navigate to Microsoft folder then FSX folder and the file should be there. macca22au, don't worry bout the external fps limiter I didn't do that bit.. I only installed the lastest Shader mod 3 I suggest you download the latest version with included installer from: http://www.venetubo.com/sha3mod.zip And the FSX tweaks.. I am actually trying to eliminate the ones I don't need so my cfg file only contains required modifications.. I reckon only following should work but up to you to test by process of elimination / addition where required [Main] DisablePreload=1 [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 ALLOW_SHADER_30=1 SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=9872430 [sCENERY] SmallPartRejectRadius=2 [TERRIAN] TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=1500 TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=800 IMAGE_PIXELS_FOR_AUTOGEN_POLYGONS=16 [bufferPools] RejectThreshold=98304 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 Regards, Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 no, the fsx exe is to be found in the main folder but the fsx.cfg file is found in User/Appdata/Roaming/fsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I had a try of this and got smoother performance rather than an fps increase. I did have to turn bufferpools off in order to stop horrid stuttering at YSCB though which is where I tested it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
