    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning

Has everyone heard the good news from Jesus Altuve?

welllllll, lets give it a try and see what happens.. not that i ever have any problems with textures other than slow loading sometimes, but, what the hell.. :)..
 
I just did a double take when I spotted this thread earlier from the forums homepage.....

Childish, I know....but it made me smile a little bit. No offence intended 6297J!!! :)
 
None taken :)

Did you think I'd had a 'Road to Damascus' overnight? :icon_lol:

I'm sure the post has already been reported but it's not my fault the guy is called Jesus!

Anyway - as I said previously, there is already a running thread about the 'fix' and I am really very curious to see if it makes a big difference to those having texture problems. I just don't think I'm one of them.
 
OK, i'm slow. took me a while to put "Jesus" and "good news" together.. I'm a Buddhist.. heh.. ANYWAY.. I just tried it.. External chase plane view is definately more stable now with less momentary freezes, textures load in quite a bit faster and the sim over all does seem to run smoother.. it's going to be a great aid to me in my work. of that i'm positive.. He did a great job.. i would warn though that it worked well on "MY" machine.. everyones machines are different. make backups before you use it and you should be pleasantly surprised..
 
Darn these tweeks have my FSX running smooth no stutter and no texture loss in the VC or skeleton:jump::jump:.

Hopefully a quick question

The fsx.cfg file is located where? in a Vista 64 OS

Thanks for the heads up on this :salute:

Got it!!!
 
I actually have suffered from some of the problems this tweak is supposed to fix, so I'll be very interested to see how they work. Sadly (or happily), the disappearing parts/textures problem is intermittent for me, so it'll be a while before I can pronounce my system cured. Still, in early testing, things are looking up.
 
"It also allows the rebuilding of the FSX Shader cache folders which enables the
fix to 'take' inside FSX."

Do I do anything here or is this automatically done? :173go1:ya thats me gettin the old thump
 
I performed this tweak and really liked the results. The textures appear far more fluid and without any drop in frames. In fact, the frames appeared somewhat better. I flew the Realair Beech Duke over Las Vegas, NV. So, I gave it a prety good workout and was positively impressed.

It does all the Edits for you.Pretty niffty piece of work Mr. Jesus Altuve, Is anyone using The FPS Limiter with this? I notice the Edit caps the cfg.file@30.
 
It´s a real breakthough, really smooth in the PNW. I ´m using the FPS Limiter.

My hardware and performance some fsx.cfg settings:
Core i5 750 @ 4.0 Ghz, 4GB DDR3 2000Mhz, Caviar Black WD1002FAEX, Radeon 4850 512mb (I know, it´s a weak link)

Code: 
[Bufferpools]
UsePools=1
Poolsize=500000

[GRAPHICS]
HIGHMEMFIX=1
STALE_BUFFER_THRESHOLD=2147483647

[Display]
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=70
TextureMaxLoad=30

[TERRAIN]
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=500
SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT=10

[Main]
FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.25

You have to change the shade cache version each time you edit fsx.cfg. So you start at 1 and the next time you make a tweak and save the changes you change it to 2 and so on and so forth. You will find that FSX will display a "Loading" message with a percentage bar when it starts much like the rebuilding scenery database message.

[GRAPHICS]
SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=1 // Increment this number EVERYTIME you change fsx.cfg (it simply rebuilds the shader cache)

On the matter of the tweak, for my Windows XP, FSX SP2, Intel 8500 with Nvidia9600gt 1 gb system that I've found no improvement in framerates (in some cases I actually lose framerates). But that's just me.
 
Thanks Anthony for the reply... after reading all the links to different threads I got it:wavey:

Thank you again
