Hello everyone.This guide has two sections: the Software Guide and the Hardware Guide. Please scroll down for the Hardware Guide. It has been on purpose left in one piece. FSX SOFTWARE (TWEAKING) GUIDEVersion updated 25. March 2014.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). “.” after each tweak explain what it does/doesn’t do for P3D.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. This guide was created to answer those questions and in general to help users set up FSX.
Hi well i gone away and done my homework ? done the tweaking guide but i’m getting flashing when flying about at low level i have a photo which i’ll load up! It occurs mostly when i turn fast to the left or right and also the at the corners of the screen.
If you need any info of me let me know. Oh and also my 737 NGX when at dusk/night/dawn and when i switch on the dome light or even the lights to illuminate the panel in front some it seems to flicker like that part of the panel someone is turning it off and on?
I hope you can help ?Good guide buddy. Vernon,About BP=0: what AVSIM guys advise you, I really don’t care. I give an one stop shop for tweaking in a specific configuration (mine or similar) and for many people it simply works fine. I had enough acknowledgements here, just read back. If someone else tells you differently, feel free to try it out and judge.
But do not come asking for help if you take it out and performance drops. ?BP=0 is a very specific tweak, I have written it countless times in my guide, and it has specific set of tweaks that go along with it.The most important thing is you read through the guide. Completely.Good luck and have fun! Here are my specs and FSX FILE does everything look good or would you recommend changing something buddy?

Hey Kosta,Thanks for your answer! Ok, I understand. It’s crazy that such a little detail impacts in such a way on FPS. I run a I7 4820k 4.6 GHZ, 16 RAM, with a GTX 760 and I lose between 7 and 10 FPS just because of the mousethats ridiculous! ? Anyway, thank to your precious advises we can enjoy our flights!At the beginning I thought that with my specs I could fly whereever I want maintaining 30 fps without a problemunfortunately thats not the case. I think the key would be to change the core of the FSX programm to a 64 bitI wish you a great day!CheersJan. Paul,Beside couple of “small” things like VAS-measuring, some weather-tools, a specific g3d.dll-crash prevention, the FSUIPC offers a complete (and way better than default FSX) system for key and joystick (axis) assignments.Beside it being better and more precise, and giving you more precision (really, this is a fact), it is a configuration saved in a FSUIPC.ini, which you can always load, and it stays the same if you know how to handle it.
And I can port to P3D with ease. All my assignments come 1:1 into P3D.
Can’t beat that.And beside, you can have multiple profiles, for each aircraft each own if you prefer. Each aircraft has different engines and configurations, and also yoke is adapted to the reaction of the aircraft.Keep in mind though, if you don’t find anything interesting above, if an addon requires FSUIPC, getting a registered version won’t improve anything. Only if you decide to use it deeper.Also, FSUIPC isn’t your 1-2-3 program to learn. It is demanding, will let you spend hours at reading the manual – and do not be mistaken, you will spend hours or you won’t learn it.
It is complicated.But, for me at least, very, extremely rewarding. Makes my FS life way easier to manage. I couldn’t go without it any more.
I barely have any assignments any more in FSX. It is the first and foremost program I would recommend for anyone a little bit more serious about flight simulation. Pilip,To answer your DX10 question:Reason1: Because there are too many problems, incompatibilities if you will. I have hundreds of addons, aircraft, customized sim, and I can’t and won’t implement something that will disturb that.Reason2: I have not found a single situation in which performance was better. Why in your situation is DX10 faster, I can’t say, but in my tests, I found no differences.I can tell you, from what I read, is that people usually didn’t set up a proper test-environment to compare. Usually there were different GPU settings or different AA levels that simply gave skewed results.
Pilip,Don’t get me wrong, but: if DX10 is working better for you, and you are convinced of that, then by all means, use it. Every setup is different, and I gave you my reasons for not going DX10.
They have to do with my simulator setup. I am not going to tell anyone what and how to use, I only give recommendations.My monitor is not 1920×1200, but 2560×1440.The more monitors you have, the slower FSX will becomes, and more differently might DX10 leverage. It’s up to you to try it out and test it.My settings are not DX10 compatible.I don’t know what S Parsons fix shader is. I tried lots of DX10 fixes, might have tried that one too, but never found any stable and reliable solution.
See my previous post for reasons.SPAD: nope. Not using Saitek modules. Hi Kosta,I’m running FSX on an i7 4770K @4.3Mhz with 8 GB RAM, GTX780 card. I use moderate FSX settings (No AI or traffic, LOD at default 4.5, scenery very dense, autogen dense etc.). My FPS are locked in FSX @ 30, Nvidia Inspector is used: V Sync = 1/2 refresh rate, AA= 8xS, 2xSGS,16 x AF, FFTF 0.15 Texture Bandwidth 120. The problem I seem to be seeing recently is black squares when I come into about 15-20 miles of an airport.
These lst only a second or two and have no further problem, but I am sure this wasn’t happening to start with and nothing has been chnaged in the mean time. Any idea what is causing this and can I change anything to stop it happening?Thanks. Hi,I’m running locked at 30 with 1/2 vsync in nvidiia inspector and fftf.15 ( about to experiment with.18) I don’t get 30 at mega airports but it is smooth for me.
Sometimes I get the odd hiccup when first rolling down the takeoff runway, but if I was to reload that scenario it’s normally ok second time! So the odd times I get a jitter, it’s on the ground and not everytime. I thinks that’s just how fsx is and windows doing other things behind the scenes at that very moment. Egs of Airports that I’m running that slow my fps a bit are the Aerosoft published Zurich and Barcelona ones.
Even with Uk2000 scenery it can happen with everything enabled. So I turn off the bells and whistles to get a smooth flight 99.99% of the time. Further to my other reply I should add that when I first locked at 30 it wasn’t smooth for me. The changes I made that changed that was – locking at 1/2 vsync, setting the fftf to.15. Btw, I lock in FSX not an external lock.
I also found increasing the texture bandwidth helped with texture loading after the fftf was changed ( notably around Barcelona) – Other areas I couldn’t tell the difference. When I used to run unlimited it seemed great but on app to large airports it would sometimes pause horribly at a vital moment as scenery was rendered, but when that wasn’t happening, it.appeared. to be better than locking – that is UNTIL I tried the settings above.
For me they work 99.9% of the time ?. Graham,Thank you for your analytic report, the reason you mentioned, the problem with the unlimited at big airports is one of the biggest problems.
What the engine does when unlimited FPS is basically put up all resources towards rendering frames, which is partly great, but what about the texture loading, especially in low FPS scenarios texture loading doesn’t always happen on another cores, there are things called fibers, and they are one the main FSX core, even if you separate them. The 100% CPU with unlocked FPS simply can not and never will be ideal solution.
Any tweaker who ever tweaked FSX has said that. Vernon,Man, you are making it more complicated than it has to be.I am saying balance your settings, with knowing that you will.never. reach a state in which you always have 30fps without a single drop. With NGX for example, I have often drops below 30. But I accept it.
Because I want a certain level of detail (NGX, higher settings etc).I am saying use whatever you deem correct for your system. I give a recommendation, either follow it and enjoy it (as I said, there are many reasons for it, primary in a smoothness area). I never said that my configuration yields highest possible FPS in FSX. It doesn’t.Good luck! Hi,I’m going to build a PC for FSX and it would be very kind to hear your opinion about my Choices.Main Board:(Gigabyte) – GA-H97-D3H————————————-CPU:Intel Core i5 – 4670 Haswell 3.4GHz————————————-VGA:Nvidia Geforce GTX 760————————————-HDD:(Seagate) – Barracuda 64MB SATA6.0Gb/s 7200RPM 1TB————————————-RAM:8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10————————————-CPU Fan:(Thermal Right) – AXP-100 (Air Cooler, 900-2500RPM)————————————-PSU:(Green) – GP600A-HP (600W, 80Plus Bronze)————————————-Case:(Green) – Hunter ( Advance Middle Tower ). Alfons,Meh is something like ummm Not really good ? SSD being primary meh-cause ? I can’t imagine going without SSD any more.
HDD is only as storage, photos, videos etc. Never productive environment.For OCing I personally don’t like going lower than 600-700w, and a good PSU. Don’t cheap out here.But you need good cooling more than anything else. Good case that has good cable management and air management is also a good thing to think about. 770 is ok for FSX but if P3D, think about the 780Ti.
Dear Kosta, regarding the TEXTUREMAXLOAD=4096 I would recommend the 2048 as the norm. In sceneries with 4096 res. Textures FSX will eat quite some VAS whereas if you set it to 2048 it will not since by still keeping good quality in FSX reduces the size of the textures loaded.Relevant thread.I only post this comment because the way you write it makes it sound like 4096 is sort of OK unless you have some very specific high textures load of aircraft or clouds. Airport scenery makes also significant difference.
Hi Biris,It’s nice to have actually seen people live, so knowing who you talk to online ?You are right indeed. This is something I have been contemplating for a long time. The only reason why I didn’t switch to 2048 as default is for two reasons:I never have OOM but I do finish my flights usually in area of 3.8-3.9 GB. Talking about close calls ?2nd is that I really love the look of some aircraft with 4096.However, with 2048 it is still reasonable and I would probably have higher overhead!Input appreciated ?. Hi Kosta, great guide by the wayJust have a question: I’ve set up fsx the way you described and I used the 4 x S config but when I fly in fsx(full screen) I get prety smooth framerate but I get sometimes in the flight (like every 30 seconds) black bars appearing and reaparing in an instant(I think its called “texture flashing”) and basically I see those textures getting loaded up again in the middle of the flight(it’s hard to describe). I’m running an i7 2700 k(not overclocked, 3.50 ghz) and an 560 Ti 1Gb card.Any suggestions?
Of course, and thanks again for your very useful bloggood flightsps by the way i am very surprised by people saying there that they got better FPS with SLI in FSX.i tested for months 2.7970 AMD crossfire cards and i never got any better results with 2 cards r than one. In other softwares yes but FSX no. I also used for some time a Titan with my 3 monitors (5760.1080) +1(below 1960.1080)) system and i had a bit more average FPS (2/3) on very loaded scene than with my actual R9000X AMD card. But AMD eyefinity driver for multiscreens, especially in 3+1, are, up to me, more stable and usable than Nvidia. I was never able to use properly the below screen to shown a 2 D cockpit regularely!p rostain. I would have done that with pleasure kosta but unfortunetely i sold it the same price i bought it (second hand).With this money i was able to buy the R900x and whith the remaining i wil buy a new 4790K CPU to see if i can overcloak it at 5Mgh with water cooling ( the new powerfull corsair 110),and see what results ( mainly FPS) i get even if the reports and tests i read on the net are not has promising has claimed by intel (5Mgh with airflow)!By the way on Prepar 2D V2.1 Titan was not much better than the R900X,6Go card ram seems useless,4Go seems ok.
Besides the R 900 has a quicker bus than Titan. Prepar remains has you said a mostly dependent CPU system has FSX is.On ebay you should find a Titan at a more reasonable price is not it?p rostain. David,If your other games are fine, and benchmarks are OK compared to other tests (this you should definitely do), then I think it’s safe to exclude hardware and drivers from the list of problems.You have to start troubleshooting FSX, and as I said below, these are only some of the parts of the FSX that can cause problems.And yes, I do see FPS impact due to SGSS, of course. But as I said, it all depends on aircraft and scenery. If you are telling me you get 20fps in Aerosoft Amsterdam with PMDG 777, then I believe you and I (nor anyone) else does get more. You get my point?
Wojtek,There is nothing else I can recommend except what I wrote in the guide. This is the best way to get VSYNC working properly in windowed. To check if it’s working, you must play with FPS a bit.
Set to 70 FPS, see if it blocks to 60, then find the situation that gives more than 30, but less then 60, then cap to 40, and see if it gives 30, then find the situation that gives 25 or about, but not more than 30, then cap to 30, and see if it stays there and doesn’t drop to 20fps or 15fps. This is basically the tests I have been doing to confirm that vsync is working. All tests must be done with vsync on and off, obviously. I’m thinking of buying in an Alienware laptop for September when I’m off to college to become a pilot and I was wondering about which software tweaks would be applicable to my laptop. I fully understand that laptops are not ideal for FSX but it’s all that I’ll be able to have for college. The specs are as followed:Processor: 4th Gen Intel Core i7-4710MQ processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.5GHz w/ Turbo Boost)OS: Windows 8.1, 64BitMemory: 16GB DDR3L at 1600MHz (2 x 8G)Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M with 2GB GDDR5Hard Drive: 1TB 5400RPM SATA 6Gb/s + 80GB mSATA SSD CachingIs there any tweak on this page that would be applicable to my laptop to make FSX run smoother than it would if I didn’t tweak the FSX cfg? On my desktop computer at home, I used the venetubo fix and it did wonders for my old computer but I’m getting the impression that followin your tweaks would result in a better flight sim experience.
Thanks for the reply Kosta! I’ll run through the list of steps detailed here for my FSX when I get my new laptop ? If I save up a bit more, I could afford an Alienware setup like this.
Is this better for specs?Processor: 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4910MQ processor (Quad Core, 8MB Cache, up to 3.9GHz)OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bitMemory: 16GB DDR3L at 1600MHz (2 x 8G)Hard Drive: 768GB SSD Triple (512G (SSD X2 RAID0) + 256G (mSATA with IRST partition)Video card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M with 2GB GDDR5. First, you should probably answer John’s post above before you get to me. After that, here’s my question:I’ve been trying to use Nvidia Inspector for FSX tweaks, but I can’t access the driver settings.
Basically, that icon next to the driver type (hammer+screw driver in an X-shape), is colored in a faded gray. When I try to click on it, nothing happens. Do you have any ideas why I can’t click on it? I extracted all the files to a folder on my desktop, but Nvidia inspector still doesn’t seem to be working fully. Any insight towards how to fix it would help me very much. © Srdan Kostic 2012All Rights ReservedNo part of this website or any of its contents may be reproduced, copied, modified or adapted, without the prior written consent of the author.You may share this website by any of the following means:1.

You want maximum frame rates at detailed airports? You want to avoid blurry terrain and have sharpness while flying? You want the best balance between performance and image quality?
You don't want to change your settings while making a flight?Well, you can perform a lot of tests until you think that you have found the solution. You have no blurries or stutters and frame rates are good. You start a flight (or you change vehicle), you enter another area and finally frame rates drop and stutters appear, or you see terrain blurries. And you start again. And again.You can turn down your detail settings because of that detailed airport which is bringing down your frame rates. You can use less autogen and lower the terrain settings when flying in order to avoid blurry terrain. Experienced simmers know that they can use different FFTF ( FIBRE FRAME TIME FRACTION) values for maximum frame rates or avoiding blurries.FFTF actually determines the maximum amount of time per frame that will run fibre jobs on the primary thread.
Your simulator's performance is greatly affected by the amount of time the CPU spends between foreground operations and background data scenery loading. The lower the frame rate is set, the more CPU time is devoted to loading scenery and textures.FIBRE FRAME TIME FRACTION is a direct command that helps tune the amount of time per frame that the CPU runs fibre jobs. Its default value is 0.33, meaning that the CPU will spend 1 millisecond on scenery loading in every 3 milliseconds of rendering.
So, the lower the value, the better the frame rate, but there is also an increase in the blurries.But what if FIBRE FRAME TIME FRACTION is not static but dynamic?
