FSX.cfg information need

Postby bin801 » Thu Dec 04, 2008 6:52 pm

An addon software changed some items in FSX.cfg
but after I abandon that software, I found I backup a wrong file instead of fsx.cfg. crazy mistake. I want to reverse the changes on .cfg file.
I know the software changed below items in .cfg, but I don't know the original.

for defaults simply remove the FSX.cfg file and fire up FSX. It will build a new file

after you make your slider changes, close FSX and you can then open the newly made file and edit as you need to


those settings you have are ridiculous in that list anyway

400 for Texture bandwidth multiplier? For FS9 yes, for FSX thats insane

70 to 90MAX

Get rid of Fiber frame time fraction it was removed after SP1

MipBias is also no good.. do not put that in the file

Every setting you show is controlled by a slider. In example TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD

Every setting you show is controlled by a slider. In example TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD  is the the Global Texture Resolution slider in the Graphics settings.. at 100% its 1024 and thats all it ever needs to be (never lower than 100%) unless you need support for one of the addons that requires 4096 to run the huge resolutions like FEX or REX and then you must manually change it in the config to 4096.


Thanks!  That solved a problem that I had, that I thought had been solved by installing SP1, but returned for some reason: invisable aircraft, like Alrots' recent releases.  I changed the "1024" to "2048", and all are happy again!   :)
