hi,

I'm almost done with the reinstall, but I still have to install some meshes.
Just a question, my FS9 folder is already 16.4Gb Shocked

, is it alright?

Mine's 52GB

It doesnt matter... However for mamimum storage performance it is best to keep the amount of data on a hard drive to 1/2 or less the total size of the hard disk. It will work on a full hard drive but access time is significantly reduced on 75%-100% full hard drive. The larger the hard drive and the less data on it, the faster the access time.

thanks nick for your time and help.

regarding the disk space, that's something I knew. I just spend some time on FSgenesis site and forum and discovered we can install mesh in another folder than the default one. may be installing them on another disk...
and what is a buffer mesh as you mentioned in one of your first reply?
I may have one of these meshes and don't even know it...then what is the correct value for terrain extended level with these meshes 3 or 5?
reading through many different forums get me more and more confused...
start to really believe I need somebody to drive me through a proper setting...

thanks again nick

Thats what FS-GS does... from start to finish

Buffer mesh is the LOD 4-5-6, 306, and 153. It fills in the gaps 76 and 38 does not. You can obtain just the buffer mesh or all of it, including the 76, 38, 9 and 10.

If you are going to go for allot of FSGenesis mesh (which is what I did) your best bet is to purchase the $100 membership. You have full access to all mesh and updates along with being sent all the CD's (if you order them) for free on top of having full download access. Its the best deal. After you purchase 10-12 mesh packages it adds up so the 100 dollar membership is a deal considering the amount of mesh available there.

I would not install it in a separate folder... let it install where it wants to..

...as for having scenery on another disk... that can be done IF you know what you are doing. I do not see any advantage to doing that UNLESS you use HUGE scenery, like MEGASCENERY and allot of it, AND the disk you are installing it on is a FAST RAID ARRAY or WD 16MB Raptor.

Although I fly FS9 from another Windows boot from time to time, I do not use the separate HDD method very often and typically fly FS9 from the boot O/S where all scenery/mesh in my WindowsXP installation.

that's exactly what I was thinking...
It wouldn't be fair to ask anybody to do that for me, in particular somebody who paid for that.

anyway, I would like to thank you nick, for all your help, your time, and all the informations. I learned a lot, and obtained a really better quality. the next step for me is probably FS-GS as I now need to optmize my system as a whole...

just a shame that FS9 doesn't come out of the box already tweaked... but thanks to the internet!!

thanks again

Based on what's been said, it would be impossible for a game to come tweaked right out if the box since tweaking is completely based on every individual system.
What MS could have implemented is some sort of configuration templates to start off with (like "best performance"/"best appearance"/"multiplayer"...), like in Windows Server. The standard configuration is indeed very conservative and there are a few tweaks that almost any current system can benefit from.

There is no such thing as a software package that comes completely ready for every type of hardware and add-on.

Take WindowsXP for example... you purchase the O/S and then it is up to you to learn how to use and optimize it for maximum performance based on your system and it's use. What is the difference between that and and any other software? Games are becoming more and more complicated and therefore it will require some education to keep up with the times.

Since FS9 is very CPU and motherboard sensitive, it requires more than just an install to maximize it's visual quality and performance. Over the last 2 years games have relied heavy on CPU-MB-GPU instead of just the GPU. That means a working knowledge of the entire system, O/S and the game is needed to see the full potential on the screen.

Welcome to the future.... It will only get more complicated with time.

of course!!!

it's not the same pics over seattle, are there are no really big improvement over such a large city, but...

tell me, what do you think?
this result is only by tweaking FS9, and the few XP tweaks mentioned... no comp-FS9 unification.

oh!! I forgot, my resolution is 1920*1200...

Looks lots better, although sdoes it still appear better when your flying in a fast jet, because thats when your system will be stressed the most so will have less time to make nice ground textures.

Is that 1920x1200 on a LCD or CRT? Is that the native resolution of the monitor or are you forcing it a bit higher?

Those shots look allot better than what you started with.

well to be honest, with a fast jet I still have lots of blurries, but....

and 1920*1200 is the native resolution of my LCD screen, that the reason for using it....

happy you see the difference

Having a "short" question too... On the 1st Pics of this topic i saw some information Text at the top of the Pics. There was also an information about the actual framerate included. How do i get these infs? Unfortunately i have only the FS9 CD and no additional Handbook for it.

It looks like chicken,smells like chicken,tastes like chicken,but when Chuck Norris says its Beef...then damnit...its Beef!!!

Also, go into your video drivers, and max everything out. Works with my X850.
