alright, here's the deal:

My comp isn't really all that performance orientated anyway, but, with scenery at normal-dense, and NO autogen i manage to get 15-23 fps!  ;)

BUT!!

as soon as i take the autogen off of "0"....to sparse...it drops like a brick sh*t house....i get 5-8 if I'm lucky...

is there some tweak tot he files used, the trees, textures, etc that can boost this?

I'm really enjoying the fps!!! but hating the lack of scenery..  :'(

there are tweaks that replace texture files for autgen, making htem more compact, search around, i think the guy who made it is called matt, its on avsim i believe.

theres also another tweak that gets rid of most tree types and only displyas a few certain kinds. that one is extremeish though.

there is also going through nick's how to set up XP, and then defraging with O&O and usnig nhancer, all of which will boost your performance/visuals ratio, but since u have 260 posts here, iim guessing u already did that.

there is a FSX.CFG tweak to readuce the max autogen per cell, and several for performance, LOD, etc, but i would not mess with any of that.

lastly, u need to post your pc specs for ppl to help u out on this one i guess. i dont know much, so im not gonna reccomend anything, but there are many autgen tweaks out there.

well...

64 bit vista

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz
4.00 GB RAM
358MB Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (video card)
220GB HD


so the nHancer bit is kinda out...b/c of the video card...I have been through nicks tutorial (very nice btw nick *thumbs up*) and messed with the FSX.cfg file. The one thing i didn't do with that is the autogen part....

I'll do some looking, but if someone has suggestions...I'm all for it!

thanks

Your graphics is what really holds you back, you need a dedicated graphics card.
