I have been trying to find time to really push this thing as far as I can..Today I found the time....


Here are the settings I run daily for FSX on this box...http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=16294




This test flight is out of KSEA , in Building Storms ..I also run FEX ..GEX...UTA..All active for this test...

My results....
LOD.....Large
Mesh Complexity....100%
Mesh Resolution ....10m
Texture Resolution...7m
Scenery Complexity...Extremely Dense
AutoGen ......Very Dense
Traffic at 70%
GA Traffis at 100%
Raod Traffic at 52%
Ships at 61
Boats at 61
　
　
This was done at KSEA in Building storms with FEX active..
Also with UTX and GEX active(no mesh)
　
Frames on the ground were...22-28
In the air after take off were...33-35
　
It still flew good, but needed a Texture_Band_multi tweak as it was a tad jumpy..Not bad, but was there..
So... I think it was to much for this little system...
I WILL NOT fly at this setting complexity , and advise that any owners or builders do not eighter...LOL
 
Hey Mason,

Dang good performance there.

Just curious what you will set your Texture_Band_Width at?

I hate how FSX is jumpy and would love to get rid of that. It really kills the realism for me when that is going on...

I have never set the TBA on this box...At the setting I normally run at no tweaks are needed at all...


With this test It could have has the TBM applied..But it was still smooth..Just not quite as smooth as the other settings....


I do however have to run the TBM on my big rig..That is set to 90...Anywhere from 70 - 110 will work on most systems it seems...


BUT..Remember..FSX gets better over time..So a reset of the TBM and a two minute flight will not show you good / bad results...it takes a fair 10 minute circuit to really show you if its helped or not...
 
I'm going to revisit the TBM thingy again. My default TBM is 40, but I'll try a higher number and fly around for 10 or 15 minutes and see if it helps.
