I can hear that old Etta James tune... "Aaaat laaaaaast....."  :D
Seriously, here comes finally my long asked-for wished-for begged-for list of fs9.cfg tweaks.  ;D
Most settings match my current ones; some don't and I will try them ASAP.

I never said your card sucks.. I used a 9800 pro for several years as was quite satisfied with the results for what the card could do. You can also try the suggestions in this thread and see if they help but a totally smooth and sharp looking sim in cities such as Seattle or NYC with cloud cover requires better hardware that what you are running.


EDIT: Unlimited frame rate is only used to calibrate the sim or check for problems... running unlimited frames takes away from details and distance scenery. If you like it and it works for you.. run it.



I dont run unlimited, I just did at one point to see where to set my FPS

ok guys,

here are some news... I had been rather busy the last two days and didn't had enough time to trial anything.
but I decided to desinstall everything, add-ons, and FS9, and I will do a clean reinstall of FS9, its patch, only one set of mesh, the few addons you talked about, planes and that's it.

My previous intallation was a rather "dirty" one, with many addons installed on top of others... this couldn't help to run FS9 smoothly...

so, stay tuned ;)

Make sure you install the patch per Microsoft's instructions... the installer must go inside the Microsoft games\Flight Simulator 9  folder and then run from there. If you do not put it inside the FS9 folder before running, it will corrupt your dll files in the update process.

Do not import a FS9.cfg file... start with a 100% fresh one. Boot the sim and make all the settings, close the sim and then make the FS9.cfg edits.

Agreed with Nick!
Also, you may want to make sure your scenery cfg folder is all nice and neat

LOL

That right there can cause blurries... the patch, amoung other fixes, repairs a memory hole in autogen which eats up resources.

The x700 is very close to the 9800pro... I would suggest somewhere between 24-28fps but it really depends on the rest of the system.

What lowest/highest value would you recommend as the target frame rate on a 6600GT?

I could not tell you that... try starting 24 and bump it up one or two frames after testing for a while.

There is no set "high" or "low" for any card... there are some systems out there using 28 with 9800pro's and the same card runs better @ 22-24 in another system. You have now come to the point wher the FS-GS service is required to calibrate the frames based on the system as it is set up.


Trial and error is the only other way to set frames... and from my year of screwing with it, I found I was off by 4 frames even when I thought I had it perfect.


EDIT:


Here is where you guys need to understand system balance and the frame lock

I'm going to take it a step further here too...


You should not fly the sim with the frame counter enabled because the counter itself takes the equivalent of 3fps of system resources, meaning, you can
