FsX Bloom on and no frame rate loss!

[Roger]

ok...also, I am somewhat of a newbie at this; but I cannot find the [bufferpools] section in fsx.cfg. Sorry if this is a duh, you idiot question, but is something wrong with the file?

James, these are additions to the FsX.cfg and the thread is here http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=34661

But be wary of changing anything. Always make a backup of the cfg.

Wow, this is amazing. My system is really good and designed for OC'ing by txtnetcop and harleyman, but I haven't OC'ed it yet. I'm somewhat timid in that regard. Not that my system couldn't handle it, but that I would mess something up.

But through all of the links on these config settings, I set the following

[BufferPools]
PoolSize=2097152
RejectThreshold=262144

[display]
texturemaxload=9

All I can say is, "Wow!" I have damn near everything maxed now, with bloom, and flew over my VFR France scenery, no problem. I then loaded FTX PNW, grabbed the Razbam A-7 and flew both NOE and mid alt over it. At mid alt, I had one or two stutters when in external view and panning around, but overall, the difference was amazing. Thanks for posting those pics, as I missed that early post here about it.

I ended up with similar results using those settings.
"RejectThreshold" was a better alternative on my system.
I also locked at 36 fps, up from 24. I've never been able to set it that high.
(I have to lock, helps prevent the microstutters on my system)

I have my system locked at 20fps. I'm sure I can up it to at least 24fps. Once I OC it, I'm sure it will easily hit 36fps. I just want to wait until I can sit down and really understand everything before I start tweaking. I have so much going on now, it would just be a distraction. Of course, once I actually do it, I'll be thinking, "Why didn't I do this earlier?"
