FS9 hang up's

Hi.
I have a Gateway GT5428 Vista Pentium 4 D/core at 3.20, 4 gigs DIMM ram at 667Mhz a Visiontek Radeon HD 3870 Video Card - 512MB GDDR4, PCI Express 2.0, CrossFireX Ready, Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support, Video Card.

I know this stuff is not the top of the line stuff, but when panning left or right inside the cockpit or outside Flight Sim will hang up for a sec or two. I don't have a lot of add-on's, just Ground Environment Pro, Flight Environment and FS Gen land class. Has anyone had experience with this?


 
My guess would be that it is your CPU and RAM. The Pentium D is an old processor and not nearly as fast or efficient as the Core2Duo's. Your front side bus and RAM at 667 MHz is also a bit slow.
 
Hey Kenny,

Have you applied any of the terrain tweaks to the FS9.cfg? I'm at work now but could post them when I get back to the house, if you haven't.

Thanks,
Odie
 
Thanks for the reply.

I have doen some terrain tweaks to the FS9.cfg.

Here are the tweaks that I've made.

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=60

[TERRAIN]

TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000

TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=1000.000000

TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=1000.000000

TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=20

TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8

TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=5

TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1

TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1

TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=1000.000000

TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=1000.000000

TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=1242424

Wow I can't believe it even flys with those settings. These are from a Pentium D 3.2GHz with an AGP Nvidia 7800GT I built for a friend.

UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=60-------or 40
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=120-------200
TextureMaxLoad=10
[TERRAIN]
TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000
TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000
TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000
TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21
TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8
TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=5
TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1
TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=7.500000------or use 4.500000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4.000000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=232------or use 4

Hope this helps
Ted
