– Low 2.x – only the sky (including sun, moon and stars) and aircraft are reflected – Mid 1.x – adds an animated detail textureĢ.x adds a 2nd pass to get reflections and this can be a killer: OOM – Out of Memory WATER SETTING REFERENCE IQ – Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering, IQ is basically everything that falls under this category, whatever is making the picture look better (smoother edges, jaggies and shimmering elimination etc.)

I have no idea how well they will do on the lower systems (or ATI cards), but you are welcome to try and report! ABBREVIATIONS USED Let me also point out that these tweaks are most probably going to work best on the Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge system, coupled with an Nvidia GPU. The numbers you are seeing in each of the tweaks are my own settings.įPS measurement references in this guide are done with FRAPS, not with an internal Shift+Z counter.

IMPORTANT: If you feel like going through this guide and set up my tweaks, I strongly suggest you start doing that on the clean FSX, meaning clean fsx.cfg, no mods like ShaderMod 3, no other tweaks, especially not tweaked FSX.cfg through Venetubo tool (not saying Venetubo is bad, only that this is a different approach). Many wonder why I have no problems with performance, so I also wanted to share my settings and also explained a bit why I set it like I set it.Īnd before you ask: no, I am not getting 30fps in every situation, I also fly heavies, and I have sometimes FPS below 30s and I then do have stutters occasionally. It also serves as a reminder and the one stop place for all those tweaks you wanted to know about. This guide was created to answer those questions and in general to help users set up FSX. I’ve been a member at many forums in past 10 years, helping users in their FSX setups and the questions that pop up are usually often very similar. “*” after each tweak explain what it does/doesn’t do for P3D.

*P3D – has not been extensively tested, but has been confirmed that some tweaks work, and most of the document can be applied over P3D (ONLY APPLICABLE to version 1.x, NOT v2.x). It has been on purpose left in one piece. Please scroll down for the Hardware Guide.
