Have you checked your fsx.cfg file recently?

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Doing some housekeeping on the sim, and by accident, I discovered that the fsx.cfg file had been changed. The Texture_Maximum_Load had somehow been changed back to 1024. I have put it up to 4096 again, and immediately noticed the improvement, especially in cockpit views smile.gif . I am not sure which program had changed it back to 1024, but I will keep an eye on it now to make sure that it stay at 4096. I guess that one of the recent add-ons had set it back down.

So next time you fire up the sim, perhaps check your Texture_Maximum_Load figure in the fsx.cfg file.

Smooth landings.

Hi,

This will change every time you change display settings in FSX.

As far as I remember, I have not changed the display settings at all, but I am going to occasionally check the fsx.cfg file to make sure that it is still on 4096. I also wonder if an add-on scenery has altered the setting when it was installing.

No big drama though, just that it will have to be checked now and then. Makes a big difference though!!

smooth landings.

Always one keen to have a fiddle......I checked mine out :

Was showing 30, I repeat 30.

Like the man said I changed it to 4096 and saved it then went for a flight.

Couldn't see the slightest bit of difference.

Re-checked the CFG, now reading 512.

For my next trick.....?

30???? Baz make sure you are editing the line "TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=" and not the "TextureMaxLoad=" line, they are two totally different controls

On the Classics Hangar site, Mathias has two little downloadable gizmos - one for 2048, the other for 4096. You can double click on either icon as FSX is loading then "run".
