2048x2048 skin?

[Gousgounis]

Hi all. Before the crash I had found a post with some screenshots showing some tweaks in cfsconfig you need to do in order to see the skins in CFS3 appear as 2048x2048.
I have tried altering the .xml file with wordpad but nothing. But I remember doing some tweaks in cfsconfig to fix it. Right now my skins appear at crappy resolution. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you!

:kilroy:Gousgounis, look here: http://www.regshanger.com/Groundcrew/homepage/Garage/Ground%20Crew%20Design%20Garage.php The old Groundcrew site is at Reg's Hangar now. I do believe this is what you're looking for.:d

You can open the CFS3config file in the Application Data folder C:\DocumentsandSettings\your username\ApplicationData\Microsoft\CombatFlightSim ulator3.0\ and open the configOverrides.xml with Notepad and edit the following. Where it says <aircraftmodels Scale="0" MaxDim="1024"/> change the "1024" to "2048" and save. I know it works in OFF so it should work in CFS3.

Well, it doesn't in CFS3. Just tried. Would have been good if it did!

Back again. Now the GC version says you should set

<aircraftmodels Scale="0" MaxDim="0"/>

not 2048. But as I've just tried

<aircraftmodels Scale="0" MaxDim="2048"/>

and got a very slight possible rise in FPS - about 3 to 4 FPS...

The line which suddenly did the trick and made the textures beautifully razor-sharp was this one:

<CompositeAircraftTextureUsage val="D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET"/>

The original was set to "0".

With the "as issued" GC settings, I got a significant drop in FPS compared to normal settings. With this way, FPS stay high.

Hope that helps!
