• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

In pursuit of FPS...

Unbelievable!...After all those hours spent browsing forums and 'tweaking' settings and the .cfg file with suggestions I found there (in search of good fps w/o the 'blurries'), out of frustration; I decided to go into the bios and see if I could increase the overclock setting (from 10% to 20%)...NOPE!...lol...after rebooting twice and reaching the desktop...the dreaded BSOD!! (both times)...so, change it back to 10%...Then thought about the 'agp aperture' setting...I knew it was set at 64, but hadn't even thought about that...found 3 options...64, 128 and 256...so I set it to 256 (have a Radeon 9800Pro)....Viola!!!...blurries all gone and I can crank up most of the settings!! (autogen is still a "no-go!"...that's ok, tho...the landclass textures have the trees, buildings and roads 'painted' on them...looks kinda silly to me to have 3D versions of the buildings sitting on top of the painted ones anyway!)...I'm even able to use a bit of traffic now!...haven't pushed it yet to find the upper limit, but I will!...To think that the main 'bottle-neck' the whole time was the aperture setting in bios!!!!!!!...I guess there's really no need now to continue my effort to 'normal'-ize the 'Scenery complexity' of objects on airports...was a good learning experience, so not time wasted!

I wonder how many other folks unknowingly have this same issue and are chasing tweaks?

Thanks for listening! I just wanted to share this info, may help someone else? and you guys help a lot of people (you've helped me w/some unrelated ADE issues already!) I hope this tidbit of info will be helpful to somebody!
