ColR1948 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I recently got a better PC mainly to run FS9/FSX, a while ago I bought some VFR scenery but on my laptop it was a no go but I installed on this one. I have a Solid State Drive with Windows 7 Ultimate and a 1TB Hard Drive for the programs which I installed my FS9 on, I have the full set of VFR for the United Kingdom plus I also have VFR Netherlands which has a booklet with it, now in the booklet the suggested settings are NOT to have the sliders set maxed out, this is what they suggest: Display Settings - Scenery Terrain Texture Size High Extended Terrain Textures Off Display Settings - Hardware Target Frame Rate Ultimate FS9.cfg [TERRAIN] TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=7.500000 TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21 Weather Settings Reduce Visibility to 5 or 10 miles Reduce number of clouds/cloud layers or turn off completely Reduce the cloud View distance so as not to exceed the set visibility Display Settings Global Scenery Quality - Low Terrain Texture Size - High Maximum Visibility - 60 miles Extended Terrain Textures - Unchecked Hardware Settings Ensure Hardware Acceleration Enabled Now I tried these and they were not too bad compared with the sliders maxed, this was with the Horizon VFR Scenery disks Also I must admit I was a bit disappointed with the VFR on the whole, I expected it to be better so I may look for something else in the future. This is on FS2004 by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have all of the UK VFR scenery installed, it is/was OK but sometimes I thought it could or should be better, so I started playing with the slider settings. After a while it got worse so I started from scratch, I put them all to zero then set each one at a time to see the results, then all of a sudden I must have hit on it because they looked good. Now I understand people have different systems and graphics cards so these might not work on yours. My system: AMD FX4100 Quad. 8GB RAM. Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AM3+ Motherboard. AMD Radeon HD5570 Graphics Card. 1TB Hard Drive (Programs and files etc). 150 SSD (with Windows 7 Ultimate) These are the FS9 Settings, with these settings my VFR was good plus the sim ran good too.

Guest lavochkin Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Read up on the your video card settings. I have gforce video card and I found a website that explains all the setting in my video card. This helped big time. And you might have manually select scenery in your scenery library and reboot your sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 This was an old post of mine, I no longer have the VFR software in my sim, I decided I didn't like it. I bought it in ignorance, I didn't realise as I got lower the graphics just flattened out and looked terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
