... Love my new card. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor always put a strain on my old card where the FPS would drop so low that the stuttering would cause me to just give up. Not with this card. Maintains around 60 FPS no matter what.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti...nice!

Not to digress from the topic, but being a hardcore Nvidia devotee, i would expect FPS numbers to be in the triples in CFS2 with this card. What's weird to me here is that i'm still using an archaic Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 (circa 2009) and getting the same 60 average FPS in busy CFS2 virtual combat environments. Not doing too bad in the civie sims either.

I've been a little sheepish lately about my outdated hardware config, wondering where i'm going to get the budget to upgrade, with people talking about the latest hardware and new rigs and all. But maybe my GTS 250 in XP on a Gigabyte mobo w/ i7-930 Intel chip is still a youngster at heart by today's performance ratings.

The 2D panel bitmap it self. If the panel is only using bitmap that 1024 x 786 they seem to freeze up CFS2 on Win7+. You can see if the panel is the prob by swapping the panel with a stock aircraft panel.

I'll check it out.

Bearcat, I'm running an i-7 930 at 3.8 GHZ with a GTX 970. The GTS 250 is a great card. The biggest limitation I have ran in to with CFS2 is the program's age. I'm running it in window mode on my monitor because CFS2 can't support my monitor's native resolution. Honestly, I have a hard time justifying a computer upgrade beyond what I have. The 930 isn't the fastest CPU out there, but yeesh, it still runs perfectly for me and it is 7 years old!

Try the below. The Disable=0 should force Hardware Acceleration on and when you start in game things should be fine. Trying to edit these settings in game is likely to not work so stay out of the Display Settings of CFS2.

[DISPLAY]
Device=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI (\\.\DISPLAY1)
Mode=1024x768x32
AntiAlias=1
HWTnL=1

Thanks for those settings Allen! I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan, and I could get the sim to run in Windowed mode, but my ground textures were all blockish, but it looks just great now! Really appreciate your help, was just about to give up on it, but can check out a bunch of my old favorite ac again,lol I learned a long time ago that once I have the config set up the way I want it, not to mess with the ingame settings, plus I made a copy of my config and set it aside so I don't have to run around trying to figure out what I messed up again when it reverts to the ugly textures.
 
I have the same problem with a gtx1650 If I had seen this thread I would not have bought it. I can't find the CFS2.cfg file in the folder of the game, I put the option to show hidden files but I don't see it either.
The only file is cfs2.ICD but has not a display. please help me

I FIND IT in C:\Users\Maxi\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 2 It is other folder with some files. I has to be change the Device, because I see the name of my old card Hd 6700 series, I copy the exact name of I see in the configuration menu if cfs2 It was NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, I see another NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 DISPLAY, but I put the first name. [DISPLAY] Device=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mode=1024x768x32 AntiAlias=1 HWTnL=1 Disable=0
 
Well part of your problem is that you installed CFS2 into Program Files (x86). NEVER INSTALL ANY VISTA OR OLDER GAME INTO Program Files (x86). The User Account Control will break things if you do.
 
Good thread. Allen, you cleared up a problem I had also with the DISPLAY lines that you published

Is imposible in windows 7 64bits, install cfs2 or 32 bits programs withow virtualstore. I can not fix the problem, because with I enter the icon of cfs2,no found, next I click another time and it start the game but when I look in the sistem menu when you put Ctrl+shift+Esc , there are 2 cfs2.exe running in the same time!!!. I installed the cfs2 in C/combat flight simulator 2 not with normal install that put it on program Filess (x86). It resulting in the same problem, virtualstore make a parallel carpet when there is the only that you can see the cfs2.cfg file. Any know about virtualstore?,I see that it is possible run disabled, But I do not know if it is conveniens. NEW INFO: The PC is crazy,I fix the 2 time click, I instaled in programe files (x86) normal, because the C/Combat flight simulator was the same, and fix (inexplicable) the two cfs2.exe running in the same time.So I fix it, but the cfs2.cfg is in the same paralel carpet that windows make when the game started in the first time. But I do not have more problems, only I do find the cfs2.cfg in the virtualstore subcarpets. I am running a MSI GTX1650 D6 VENTUS XS OC
 
Hi, I fix the problem, I set the cfs2.exe with compatibility of windows XP SP2 and run with administrator.

Now, I can find the cfs2.cfg in the folder of the game.

Check the panel for the aircraft. IF it ONLY have a 1024 x 786 panel that maybe the prob.

Allen:

Yes, I've had this happen to me on quite a few add-on aircraft. I'm running CFS2 directly under the C:\ on a Windows 10 Pro machine (i3-3220, 3.30 GHZ CPU) with the built-in Intel HD Graphics. It's a Dell Optiplex 3010. Here's my settings:

[DISPLAY]Device=Intel(R) HD Graphics (\\.\DISPLAY1)
Mode=1400x1050x32
AntiAlias=1
HWTnL=1
//
//Mode=1024x768x16 or 32
//Dither=0
//TriLinear=0
[PANELS]
IMAGE_QUALITY=1
//

The game runs fine except I do have to replace the PANEL folders that come with the planes.

My question to you: What would I need to do to make the PANEL folders that come with add-on planes work if panel bitmaps are 1024 x 768 ?? I'm thinking maybe resize the image and reset the gauges in the .cfg file but I thought I'd ask you for your experience.

Thank You in advance.
 
The quickest fix for panels is to open the panel.cfg and remove any render_3d_window=1 found in the panel.cfg
