Texture size

[royndeb]

Does anyone know if new textures are being devoloped for FSX for the purpose of better frame rates. Or is it already available and I just haven't found it yet. This was availabe for free at flightsim.com for FS9 and since my computer is on the smaller size It would really be of a big help to me.

You can actually screw back the texture size inside FSX and it will load lower res (thus smaller) textures for you, as they ship with the product!

The real killers though are autogen density (FSX will draw well over 10 times as many autogen objects as did FS9, and each of them more complex), light bloom, and water reflections.
Turn off the last 2 and dial down your autogen density a bit further (you'll still have something at least as good as FS9).

I see that you are from Flight1. I have many of there products for FS9 and love them.
After using FSX for several days I plan to remove it and go back to FS9. I am very disappointed with FSX and find that it is only half the product as FS9.
As far as I'm concerned Microsoft did nothing but rip there customers off with this product.
