Results excellent. At last I don't get short term freeze-ups and my FsX stability is best ever.

Hi all,

Thanks for the Heads-Up Roger.

This works like a charm, I already see massive improvements.
Better FPS, less blurries, less stutters. And I wasn't even that unhappy with it, hahah!
I have a what one would call a low end systen, Intel Duo Core 2,3GHz, 2 gig ram, GTS8800 512. XP-SP3
This is on a relatively fresh system re-install, with new FSX+accel, NickN's tricks applied, defragged, etc.

I would say, give it a go, no harm done.

still 2 questions:
How to apply an EXTERNAL FPS limiter
How to disable Transparency Anti-aliasing

Best regards,

Rob

Jesus recommended it I see. I checked it out, and it applies many tweaks I already apply (AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Furthermore, this adds some unique tweaks I was not aware of...

Guys, I would actually recommend this. Furthermore, it allows you to backup your original file.

How to apply an EXTERNAL FPS limiter
How to disable Transparency Anti-aliasing


To apply the external FPS limiter, follow the instructions in that come with the limiter tool to create a batch file. You will then run FSX from that batch file from now on.

Transparency Anti-Aliasing is a feature of your video card. The tweak is asking you to turn this off with your video card software, for example in the Nvidia Control Panel, etc.

I found the link to that configurator in some forums related to the FSX and decided to give it a try. And i have to say with this external frame limiter and the new cfg file the FSx runs more stable. And as i corrected some mistakes with my videocardsettings which i made, i have some more ressources free for more details now. Its a try worth for the most users with no doubt.

Many thanks for that work to Jesus Bojote. Thank you. :salute:

WOW, it works like a charm! I found out that I had it tweked out fairly good allready, but it only needed a few hints to "perfection"! Had to switch off my lightbloom (which I replaced by enbseries again without any performance loss) and reduce my autogendensity one notch (had it to full max, so reducing wasn“t a real loss;-) and violį: fps to unlimited and I get a constant 20-40 fps now, no matter how dense the addon-scenery or how complex the aircraft!

Great service!:jump:

Well Roger I was a skeptic. I was already running my Q9550/GTX260 based system at home at 30fps no tweaks except Affinity Mask (locked) running ORBX PNW at very high settings and thought that was the best it's gonna get and I was happy with it. I decided to go ahead and run the test. Low and behold I have the same very high settings and I can now run unlimited at 55fps the lowest is 49 in Olympia, WA to Renton, WA (which is a huge surprise). I am running with realistic weather and OPEN CLOUDS enabled.

Thanks a bunch my friend. I really have to give a shout out to this fix. I am amazed! Nirvana at last! I will run this on the TechCorp i7 960 today!
Ted

Have to add I was using the A2A Cub with Heidi aboard which is a bit more of drain on FPS than the standard Cessna. Now running the B-17...no difference whatsoever. I am impressed!

I found the external FPS limiter, I'll give it another go, although I saw in the forum the results are diverse, but maybe in combination with this tweek, it might well work.

And it appears the Transperance Anti Aliassing was already off, but thanks for pointing the way.

I've tested that tool not too long ago. It suggested settings totally au contraire with my personal preferences, so I took the odd one or two things that I deemed useful for my setup and disregarded the rest.

Nonetheless a fairly useful tool for those who don't want to tweak FSX manually or want a starting point for further tweaking.

Great board!

If I hadn't struck that deal on the X48T, I'd have gone for one of those. Would've even enabled me to squeeze out way more in the FSB department.

FSX.cfg is just a text document and I would recommend making a copy of that file before making any changes and running FSX.

I used the recommended cfg file, but not the downgraded graphics settings that were also recommended. More testing is needed, but it looks like I picked up about 4 fps and smoother panning.

To get the FPS limiter, use Google search "fps limiter 0.2 download" for a number of sites. Using an "unlimited" setting in FSX in combination with the external FPS-limiter seems to work well for many people. (Though not all.)

Jesus has been working these tweaks for many months now--he's got a pretty good idea of what is happening and his suggestions have attracted a lot of attention. The "FSG Tweaker" is his way to attempt to "automate" the process so that lots of people can take advantage of this hard won knowledge.

One might best take this process as an extensive set of well-tested tweaks--from a truly knowledgeable programmer--rather than as a quick fix.

Much to be recommended. (Though as ever, backup everything before you begin...)

Thanks for the heads-up, Roger.

The file named with the .txt extension is an auto-generated file that is created whenever FSX crashes. It was intended to be sent directly to MS/ACES along with some other diagnostic files if the user opted to "Send to Microsoft."

It has absolutely NO OTHER USE whatever... :ernae:

Also, be sure that FSX is not loaded when using this automated tool.

Hi all

I had long ago given up all hope of getting my FSX to run smoothly on my current machine. But this FSX Configurator together with the use of the FPS Limiter has actually given me a boost in both smoothness and FPS :icon_lol:

Now i just have one question: is it possible to combine this with a program like Active Sky Evolution? After loading the weather system, this program normally starts up FSX. How do I make it start up the fsx.exe.limited.bat file instead?

I put in about three hours of flight time yesterday using the new cfg file. I must say that the whole experience was much smoother and had a higher frame rate average. I've now overclocked my Q9650 and the RAM seems to be happy with a mild overclock as well. I think this will give me the FSX experience I've been wanting ever since FSX was released. :jump:

3.8GHz to 4.0GHz is the sweet spot for FSX...nice to hear you got what you aimed for!

stansdds
November 30th, 2010, 04:42
The wild thing is that this Q9650 didn't actually get any of its TJunc temps up to 60C until I pushed it to 3.8GHz. Maximum core 0 temp is 63C, the other cores are running up to 9C cooler. I would have been satisfied with 3.6GHz, but at that speed core 0 was only 58C. I'm thinking I could push this CPU to 3.9 or even 4.0GHz, but the RAM is happy where it is, 423 MHz with a 2.00 multiplier, and any gains may not be worth the price of having to loosen the RAM timings, currently 4-4-4-12 and 2T.

txnetcop
November 30th, 2010, 04:49
Can you back off the vcore voltage a little and still hit 3.8? I know that the specs say 63C is max but I have had my Q9550 at 4.0 forever and when I run games it hits 63C all the time. It's two years old and shows no sign of wearing down.

stansdds
November 30th, 2010, 04:53
Unfortunately, backing off the VCore results in a core failing Prime95. Vcore in BIOS is 1.34375v, it is registering as 1.31v in CPUID HWMonitor.

Then you seperately click the FSX start bat (so not from withing ASE)

You'll probably notice even more improvement if you have an ATI card.

unfortunately not for my three computers all with ati card...they have all very twekaed version of the fsx.cfg, after have modified as suggested the fsx.cg it degraded my performance about 6-7/fps so i have deleted the new fsx.cfg on the three system and back to old ones...seems i was so good to tweak that i don't need this new one .

i have also noted poor performance on graphic with new ones...coming back to my original fsx.cfg also graphic back at normal...probably it don't like ati card or who knows what...each person has a different configuration...i have three different ones with three different ati card and no success...i had 30/fps so i have tried only to check...i am satisfied with actual fps no blurries etc, it was just a try

I've messed with my FSX settings for two days now and what am I finding? This new configurator thing got me pretty close to getting everything out of my computer that I can. It isn't perfect, but it does get close. I'm also finding that my 8800GT is probably holding me back. Looking at the CPU graphs in the Windows performance monitor I see core 0 runs at 20-30%, core 1, 2, and 3 peak at 50%, yet my fps is still jumpy, so either my motherboard and RAM are really poor, or the video card is just not able to keep up. Such is life, the never ending race to gain a few more fps.

stansdds
December 4th, 2010, 17:13
Additional observation: Running FSX in normal mode, unlimited FPS or FPS limited within FSX results in core 0 running at no more than 20%, but cores 1, 2, and 3 peg 100%. I guess the external FPS limiter throttles the system sufficiently so that the CPU is not stressed. Interesting.

How do I know if hyperthreading is active?
My Video Card is (as mentioned above) a NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT - from the 8 series if I'm not mistaken. Should I insert I don't Know in the video card category?

You have 4 CPU's, that's the number they want. Those who have hyperthreading turned on will show twice the number of processors, but they are virtual processors, not physical cores.

Odds are you don't have hyperthreading turned on. If the graphs in the task manager show only 4 CPU graphs, it is turned "off".

Use GeForce 9 series card selection, once you send a copy of your FSX.cfg file, they will know exactly what card you have.

After a bit of experimentation I think I managed to get some improvement. The provided fsx.cfg was unusable. One of the options created flickering ground textures (off/on). Also I wanted the highest quality water which my machine can handle. By adding each option one at a time I found that only one of the changes was involved. In heavy scenery areas (e.g., UTX Alaska in Anchorage), I can still get about 15 fps reported by Fraps. Over water (carrier operations) I could get nearly 50 fps. This is pretty good considering I am using Nvidia 3D which requires not quite twice the processing for a fixed fps (15 fps reported is 30 fps in the eyes of the external fps limiter).

Well! I finally sobered up (:)), and it does indeed work like advertised!

Really. I have a slow system:

Windows Vista OS Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with SP1

RAM 4GB DDR2 667Mhz
Optical Drive DVD SuperMulti with Light Scribe
Direct Disc Labeling Yes
Graphics Card NVIDIA 9800M GS with 512MB GDDR3 VRAM

yet performance is MUCH smoother after doing this tweak. Much smoother!

I was having trouble even at Vashon, but after applying this, no troubles at all.

One question, I left the default external limiter value at 30, but given that I have never seen a framerate above 20, even with these two utilities, should I lower it, and would it help?

Oh, I was going to suggest that this be made a "sticky", but I see I have been beaten to the punch, LOL!

-----------------------
Run FPS_Limiter_GUI.jar and click SEARCH EXECUTABLE
browse for and select FSX.exe
set frame limit to 30 under MAXIMUM FPS
Click CREATE BAT
Once complete close the interface and use the created file fsx.exe.limited.bat to start FSX (double click it)
set frame lock to UNLIMTED in FSX and use the AG slider to tune

You MUST have JAVA installed to use that interface
Now here is the deal... this attacks the UNLIMITED FRAME LOCK problem related to Vsync introduced by Aces in SP1/SP2. Instead of tuning the FRAME LOCK you will tune the AUTOGEN slider for smooth results where you are flying. Leave the FSX frame lock slider at UNLIMITED at all times.
You can fine tune this app as well...
I found 30 was the sweet spot for all occasions. I would suggest no less than 24 and no more than 30 but start with 30.


FSX must always be started by clicking the created command line BAT file.. NOT the FSX desktop icon

Thanks Roger but nothing happens when I click that jar file. Does it really help that much, starting to wonder if this tweak is really worth the trouble, lol.

Just what came with win 7. I must have the latest java because the national weather service radar works and that requires the latest version.
