So a few days ago when these forums were down, I was initally dissapointed, but it seemed to be a blessing in disguise for me..
I was over at the avsim forums, and I learned some things that increased my FSX peformance to almost double what it was before.. And Blurries? they are history for me..
One of the best tweaks that I added to the fsx.cfg
[JOBSCHEDULER]
affinitymask=3
adding that to the fsx.cfg alone increased fsx's peformance at least 50% for me. It made fsx use both cores in my dual core to the max, instead of it just using 1 core and rarely using core 2..
Before tweaking I wouldn't even considor flying low to the ground VFR, but now it runs like a dream and looks amazing with great FPS, as high as 25-30fps, (at least 10 at lower altitudes) from the 3fps I was used to.
Even flying over the 10 meter mesh that I downloaded from here gets at least 8-10 fps with the mesh LOD at 19m (

The next thing was I put fsx.cfg through this website --
http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.htmlThat adds quite a few tewaks for autogen, and helps fight those damned blurries, so now I can fly at 200kias at treetop level and still have crisp clear textures, and the autogen doesnt dissapear at all, it loads perfectly fine atleast 2-3 miles infront of me..
heres the topic that I learned all these amazing tweaks at incase you are intrested.
http://forum.avsim.net/topic/346991-fsx-and-cpu-useage/I am surprised that nobody here at simv has ever pointed out those tweaks, and that is why I am here now spreading the word!
Hope this can help you too!
cheers for now, mike
