What is with the strange House " triangle side of peak roof " texture being on all the office buildings and how did you get the smoke coming out of building? Are these not default generated buildings and textures?

I'm wondering if he has his FTX-mode still on? When I have ORBX's FTX mode on but am flying outside of Australia the roofs look like that, when I turn FTX mode off the roofs look normal.

I shouldn't have. I always make it a point to turn it off after I exit FS. I'll check that tomorrow though.
 
What would it take to get this without overclocking? Are we at the point where we can run the sim with all sliders right yet?
 
That tweak if it works for use has nothing to do with OCing...

And no we aren't to all sliders right yet...But this is giving smooth play for many...It failed for me..you just have to add the entry and values and see....



This answer if for the tweak in the thread below..My bad... About BufferPools....sorry..

I'd say overclocking is almost mandatory for FSX unless you have some mighty rig I've never even heard of. Just taking my Q6600 2.4ghz to 3.3ghz made a WORLD of difference. Not that hard to do either, if you're smart about it and learn what you're doing. Not hard on the system either at least in my case as I saved my 3.3ghz overclock into a profile in my BIOS. When I want to do do some HD video editing, work with 3dsmax or fly FSX I boot into 3.3ghz, otherwise I leave it at default. This way the system spends most of it's time at stock settings, and is only pushed when needed. Highly recommended.

I am overclocking as you probably saw in my sig. It isn't a huge overclock, nor is it anywhere near the limits for this CPU and mobo. I've got the proper cooling needed too.

Though I did get quite decent performance with my Q9550 before I overclocked. I don't think I'd be able to run autogen quite that high, but it did do pretty well at stock speeds.

According to NickN, those roofs were apparently always like that, but the default textures were low enough res that no one noticed, with the new GEX higher res autogen textures however, it's very obvious. Not 100% sure I buy that but whatever. Apparently what's happening is some roof polys share the same texture as the front of some houses, so you see the gable up on top here and there. An easy fix that would satisfy me would be to slap a proper roof texture in that slot, so then the roofs would look fine but somewhere out there you'd have the odd house with shingle texture on the front instead of a gable. I like VFR and all, but I don't think I'd notice that as much as I do the screwed up roofs. :)
