Here's my problem - I seem to have plenty of computer to do what I want to do, but I lack the knowledge to make it happen...
I can achieve 200fps in the Himalayas with all settings maxed out.
What I can't do is make the sim run faster - not in terms of framerate, in terms of ground texture rendering.
Capping framerates does nothing more than capping framerates.
Reducing settings does nothing more than reducing settings.
I get no framerate gains, or performance gains (defined as not having to wait for scenery to show up).
I have the textbandwidthmult parameter in the cfg set to 400, high as it can go...
I have the inner texture ring set at 9, and the extended too, but no difference with extended textures enabled or disabled.
Bottom line, I seem to finally have the computer to run FS2004 as "we" think it should be able to, and I seem to be running into software limitations...
What I'm really after here is some detailed info about the cfg.
I'd guess the answer is in there, but I lack the time to really geek on it...
This is not a "how can I make my underpowered computer overpower FS2004" question.
This is a "how can I make my overpowered computer run FS as it COULD" question...
