FSX Tweaks
How to – What to
FSX gotta be one of the most outdated programming method three dimension application out there.
it is so out dated that new cpu’s dont know how to deal with the information sent to them by your operation system that is related to fsx.
this situation effects very heavly on the game performance,
there’s alot of ways out there to deal with this problem . one of the most common ways is the custom pre-directions configuration.
That is what you gonna learn here:
Allow me to explain myself
Every computer application runs right before they show up on your screen a direction list .
we’re going to change fsx’s direction list so it will know how to use the full potential of your computer hardware
This is how were gonna do that
On Win XP, you’ll find it here: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX. In Windows Vista & 7, you will want to make sure hidden files are shown and then look here: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. Sometimes you will not be able to save any changes to the .cfg file in Win 7. Do this: Press the windows key, type in notepad, right click notepad, run as administrator, open the .cfg file in notepad, make changes, save.
Note: Before doing any modifications to the FSX.cfg, make sure to create a back up copy of it.
Now after we the config file open it’s time to mod it
(All you need to do is copy the code lines here and paste it in the right sections of your cfg file, after yo do that , just save . Remember: Always make a backup!)
[MAIN] Tweaks
Under the [MAIN] section of the FSX.cfg file, add the following: FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.33 This gives more processing time towards scenery versus rendering and helps to reduce the blurries.
The perfbucket setting adjusts autogen detail level. Setting a lower level gives better performance. PERFBUCKET=n where n=0 – 7 Default value is 6. Recommended value is 4.
If you wish to disable the pre-load of the default flight when FSX starts up, add this: DISABLEPRELOAD=1
[DISPLAY] Tweaks
You can disable the notifications that appear on the screen when you engage brakes, etc. Change the following values to show:
InfoBrakesEnable=False
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=False
InfoPauseEnable=False
InfoSlewEnable=False
InfoStallEnable=False
InfoOverspeedEnable=False
You may notice when panning around the virtual cockpit that it takes quite a bit of time to move around. You can speed that up by adding this: PANRATE=200
If you have a multi-core processor, you can adjust this setting to take more advantage of the extra calculation power: TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=n (n=30-40 for dual core, 70-90 for quad core)
[TERRAIN] tweak
A big difference between FS9 and FSX was the radius in which autogen scenery was to be drawn, and that consumes quite a bit of processing power to provide, thus affects frame rates. Microsoft gave us the ability to reduce that radius that does not significantly impact the experience. In the [TERRAIN] section, add these:
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=1000
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=800
[GRAPHICS] tweak
Those of you who benefit from a cutting edge graphics card that has 1 Gig+ RAM onboard will be able to benefit from the following tweak more so than others. There are some recent add-on’s that employ ultra high resolution graphics (2048×2048 and 4096×4096). With this setting, you allow the full resolution to be experienced in-game. TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096 (for 4096×4096 textures) TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048 (for 2048×2048 textures) TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024 (default value when global texture resolution is set to very high)
Experimentation required
None of the setting suggestions are perfect for your individual set-up. I recommend making minor adjustments to get the performance versus experience to your liking. Enjoy!
