I didn't think it could get any better... then it did

I'm still in a bit of disbelief as I write this. I've been absolutely loving FSX since I got my new machine built. It is far beyond what I thought it would be.

I decided to see what maximum autogen would do. :jawdrop::faint:
Not only am I astonished at how awesome FSX truly is, but I'm in disbelief that I still have 36 FPS solid. No pausing or shenanigans either. That is in-game flying at what speed you see.

FSX IS INCREDIBLE.
 
"You Suck" doesn't really convey my envy well, but it's a start, LOL

Congrats man! I had a sneak peek at what maxed autogen would look like a few times, now it's all I dream about, LOL.
 
Kiwikat, those screens are cool. You said you pushed the autogen to the maximum... did you push it only in the game settings, or did you push it to the REAL maximum ?
 
Looking good..Looks like your machine is up to the task...:applause:

In-game, but every place i see there should be a house or a tree, there is a house or tree. I don't think artificially setting it any higher through the config would do anything. It certainly wouldn't add anymore buildings, which is all I really care about. Trees are so out of proportion they are stupid.
 
Maximum autogen?

Not quite, unless you've also bumped up the numbers of trees and houses in the FSX.cfg. Top of the line value is 6000 each, default (what you're seeing) is 4500/4500. ;)

Well, it would help them appear more far away, leading to an even greater density impression !
I agree on the tree size. I wish the famous freeware addon "treegen" was ported to FSX....
 
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?

They are the enhanced autogen from NickN and the GEX crew. Some of them appear kinda weird... but it is still better than default.

Smoke is default though I think. My effects slider is on max setting.
 
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. :)

Yep... :faint:
 
That pc should eat a shire horse for a snack, shoes, harness, and all, then use the horse shoe nails for toothpicks. :ernae: Thanks for showing what such a polygon monster can do. :typing:

Only 4500/ 4500? You'd better give up and go home mate. That's crap.

I would hardly call that crap...

For his quad he's running and the performance hes getting I say hes getting on rather well...

How can you call 4500/4500 crap? And why would you? :gossip:

I run mine lower for trees than he does (I hate all the Trees) and I love life with FSX..

Post your specs and pics for a comparsion...I would like to see what good over crap is...
