Ptaylor's weblog...

In case you haven't checked it lately, he's putting up some pretty nice tweaks, especially for all of you who complain of stutters...

The explanations in the blog are becoming very informative and helpful.  I also found this site to be enormously helpful. Indeed it has enabled me to make a real breakthrough and finally SP1 is running well.  Not perfectly, but so much better than I have ever made it.

I am now running fps - unlimited,  autogen 1100/1100 (At last it dawned on me that trees and buildings can be the same),  Scenery and Autogen sliders both at VDense or max-ed, TBM 30, FFTF at 0.15 (yes), and because I have a fast card with a lot of on-board RAM, Bufferpool of 12000000.

I am sure that now that I have reported this, the perverse witch ridden program will fall apart again.  But I am holding my breath.  So its worth a look.  NickN may not approve.

Some of those are really strange, especially that "TBM at 80"-tweak.

No other value except 320 ever worked for me.

[macca22au]

As you can see Bjorn, I've got TBM down below 40,  and FSX has never been so good.

[ATI_7500]

Kudos to you.

I get blurries with 40 and less and a little less blurries with 320.

Have you set the texturemaxload (value is something like 8, I'm not talking about the texture_max_load which defines the maximum texture size)  as well ?

Nah.

I've run the ugly test this afternoon. Settings all to lowest, slowly rose them, blurries persisted - even without any traffic and autogen.


Bad programming, Aces.

Ark... and of course, I suppose that you have a multi-core proc, so that you cannot play with the FFTF anymore, right...
That's not good...
Something that just came back to my mind: does anybody here still sets his fsx.exe to prio high in the task manager ? Is there any effect on the blurries ?

[ATI_7500]

Good catch, Daube. Will test that.


And the Texmaxload.
